So, my apologies for the delay, but days run fast and internet here is... well, far from good. Even wifi in my hotel can play some tough games. But, let's go back to the flight.

Boarding was reserved for F and C from 1 gate, so finally we boarded the plane via 1R, which is quite unique. My seat:



And my private wardrobe



All the expected basics were already at the seat, and pajamas were delivered soon after




No time should be wasted





Some significant mishap of the flight - it really took some time between setting the table and starting the service. Maybe 40 minutes? For sure too long. But, back to good things - there is only one proper way to start the F flight




After that, I tried the tuna tataki and cajun carrots with Niepoort wine. All very good



For main (orders were taken before take-off), I opted for paneer dish to get into Indian mood. Paired with Romania red. Quite good wine, BTW!




Cheese plate to conclude the meal. There was a "regular" 20 YO Niepoort porto, as well as offering of the month, 40 YO DOW's, so it was time to compare them.





Well, Niepoort is a clear winner, which may be a shame, as it's half of the age, and a quarter of(maybe?) of the price.

I took a short nap, maybe slightly more than an hour, but without making the bed, so no report here. Before landing I opted for a sushi plate and some cold cuts. Both were good.



The crew was really good. They did what was possible to make this experience great. Box of chocolates was offered before landing.

No additional service after landing, so your experience comes to an end when you step off the plane.
So, will I fly F again? With miles why not, with my own money - not really. It's a pleasurable experience, but prices are far too crazy for me. Worth trying, can live without doing this every time
