No complaints about the service. Food: I didn't have the dinner since I was full from FFD, which is great, no doubt. I did have the "light refreshment" towards the end of the flight. Not great, and in hindsight I should have asked for the dinner order that the FA had said he would save for me. Wine was fine.
Slept for the better part of the flight actually, around 8 or 9 hours. Entertainment is passable.
Regarding crew, they were nice. Quite attentive. Towards the end (perhaps two hours prior to landing), there was a medical emergency on the flight, which seemed serious, so all hands were on deck to take care of it. The crew's attention was understandably divided, but they were available when one needed something. For example when I wanted water, the FA asked if I wanted to keep the whole bottle. i was good with that.
For 78k miles, it was great, but wouldn't consider it at anything over a 100k, let alone the 160-250k they've been asking for some flights.
