Emirates A380 First Class Dubai to San Francisco
Always a treat to connect in Dubai and especially in the wonderful A concourse First Class Lounge and Fine Dining room.
At 7:30am, time to eat...
And drink...
Perfectly medium rare.

Today’s A380 flight to San Francisco departed from the gate just across from the dining room, with boarding directly from the lounge. I opted for SFO today to avoid frigid Chicago in the winter and dysfunctional T5, and to get home 3 hours early. As always, wonderful service, great food and wines on today's 16 hour flight.
My bed across the aisle. Although I did have to evict another F passenger with the same idea, as I had called first dibs.
Wow, nearly 10 hours of sleep.
After 10 hours of sleep, now I'm hungry and thirsty. So cool that Sport24 is live in flight with the AO,
Today's menu...
Wonderful Napa cab.
Steak sandwich.
Shower time a couple hours from SFO.
Cool polar route today.
SFO before we turn and land.
