Today, my friend from Toronto joined me since he was curious about my commute and decided to do a ride-along and document it..
some cfa for breakfast before boarding door closed
I dunno what was he staring at.. perhaps the beauty of max 8 mood lighting..
Dinner in San Mateo
Flying back home from SFO
Upgraded to first class
My friend's first ride in premium cabin, of course he was very excited, even it's a very short hop with basically no service lol..
What a mess at LAX..
Dim sum for the weekend
And of course.. Porto's
Some peruvian food before I drop him off at LAX
Dinner with a DL platinum.. hopefully we can get along due to conflict of interest.. /s

AS1137 OAK-PDX upgraded to first class
Express lounge at PDX
First time boarding from those B gates in PDX
SEA-EWR redeye, not upgraded due to last minute SDC..
The system still charged me for pre-order.. AS IT at its finest
Flying right back to SEA on the same plane, of course stuck in premium class due to last minute SDC..
Protein plate
SEA-LAX on a E75, upgraded to first class
Trying out the new cheeseburger on the menu, quite nice
I love watching DTLA during final approach, one of the reasons I choose LAX as my base..

Flying AS to school again!
Quick bite in LAX AS lounge
Upgraded to first class
Riding BART to Berkeley
Coming back from SJC because it was the cheapest during booking, and most flights were full already, so lucky to grab the last seat during same day change, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch my AA flight out of LAX..
Upon arrival, I waited 45min for the T1-TBIT Satellite terminal shuttle, and when I rushed to the main TBIT building, my flight already started boarding, which meant I didn't have time to check out the Qantas first lounge.. SAD!!!
Lie flat business class to LHR in the mini J cabin, very nice.
Onboard menu
Starter
AA literally trying to murder me.. OMG.
As you can tell, it's dry..
The best part is always the ice-cream!
Breakfast before landing.
Transfer to STN.. to try a new airline (Ryanair).. Why am I doing this to myself..
Ryanair operated by Buzz to Budapest. Yes I travel far for a long weekend..
Roasted duck
walking around Budapest at night
Vintage trolley bus
Flying wizzair to Luton a few days later..
Boarding process was chaos, also I can't find any seating area near the gates, so passengers have to sit on the floor. Imagine that!
28" legroom, the worst 2.5hr in my life.. My legs can't feel anything after landing.
Riding Thameslink down to Gatwick to catch my Icelandair flight
Extra legroom seat on LGW-KEF
KEF Saga Lounge, free access for 100Ks.
Got an aisle seat on KEF-SEA
Recharge in N lounge
SEA-SFO upgraded to first class
some salad for light supper
Continuing on to LAX, on a E75
Upgraded to first class as well
