NORTHWEST SFO-PDX-SEA-ANC
With the quick processing through immigration, I had enough time to visit the United domestic Red Carpet Club (RCC). My previous transits through San Francisco didn't have enough time for a visit. The lounge was okay but hardly up to the standard of most domestic lounges in NZ or Australia for example. The large windows afforded views of the water pooling on the tarmac and pouring off the wings of aircraft taking off right in front of us. So it was no surprise to see the monitors showing lots of delayed flights. My next flight to Portland was showing as on time so I headed to the gate, where we were told the inbound aircraft is only just now leaving Eugene for SFO - ie despite the monitors there really is a significant delay. So, worried that I'd be stuck in Portland for the night I headed back to the RCC, where the lovely ladies on the desk were helpful and eventually managed to get me on the overbooked non-stop flight to Seattle. Sadly I had to give up my first seat, but on a short domestic flight not really missing much. I grabbed at the exit row seat offered (not sure why they bothered offering a choice of a middle seat right at the back?). |
SFO-SEA-ANC
Now rebooked I didnt have to wait long to boarding of the new flight on a United 757. There was the usual scrum at the gate with both passengers and gate agents alike ignoring the priority boarding calls. The flight was full and those that boarded towards the end had to check all bags since all the overhead and under seat space was full. Offered mini-pretzel snack and non-alcoholic drink. No real food. In Seattle I have enough time to stretch my legs by walking a few circuits of the satellite terminal used by United before heading downstairs to the RCC for a coffee. I think the Seattle RCC is nicer than the San Francisco one. The next leg was on a United A319. Back in first (on a CRWSTARx business class books into first on 2-class domestic USA flights) for this night time leg. There is no meal, but a selection of cheeses and crackers, plus a suprisingly large amount of fruit. The movie showing on the small bulkhead screen is Narnia. When we arrive at Anchorage a ghostly full moon is shining weakly through a veil of high cloud. Not having any checked bags, it isn't long before I'm rushing off to the Hilton Anchorage to check in. As a Diamond HHonors member, I get a nice room upgrade to the exec floor (and with a great view of the inlet and surrounding mountains) - the room keycard is needed to access the floor, the lounge as well as the room. The lounge is nice - food selection for breakfast and evening canapes (with alcohol available for a couple of hours) is a bit limited, but non-alcoholic drinks and cookies are available all day. There is also one computer terminal. I notice the contrast of the military jets maneouvering at low level after take-off and preparing for landing at the base, with the mountains reverberating to their roar, while the slow single engine props whine and the distant muffle of the commercial passenger and freighter jets landing and taking off at Ted Stevens airport several miles away. I do quite a bit of walking, albeit gingerly in places as not used to walking on ice (daytime snowmelt freezing overnight). Around the coast to Earthquake Park, along some "valleys" such as Chester Creek, etc. The scenery is stunning. With slightly dodgy weather forecast, and a limited schedule, I decide to abandon my thoughts of a day trip to Denali (sorry Seat 2A) - I don't want to get stranded! At least that is one reason for a repeat visit. |

SOUTHEAST HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE
All too quickly it was time to leave Alaska, USA and head halfway around the globe to the next stop. Check in at the airport and get a fistful of boarding passes. The next flight was on a United A319 back to Seattle. We had the same crew, and of the first class passengers 1 was apparently a turnaround and 3 more of us had come up to Anchorage just a day or 2 earlier with this crew. Again a cheese selection and fruit. Movie was "Rumor Has It". However I slept most of this redeye flight. We arrived in a wet Seattle (what a surprise :rolleyes: ) a bit early. Given I'd be flying the next couple of days I made the most of my transit by putting in just over a couple of dozen laps of the terminal. I could see some fellow travellers and airport staff wondering what this bozo was doing just walking, but who cares? The next flight was to Washington Dulles, on a 3-class 767 in first again ^ The seat was the best I'd had within the USA but still only comparable with most international business class seats. We had a choice of 4 movies playing on the PTVs or a video from a selection of about half a dozen titles. Channel 9 wasn't working properly with bad feedback. The meal was breakfast with choice of fruit and cornflakes, or mushroom fritatta. There was also a cookie offered before landing. I slept most of the flight. We arrived early into a cloudy IAD, but ground crew weren't ready for us - by the time the airbridge was engaged it was an on-time arrival. |
I had a couple of hours to kill in IAD so after a bit of a walk headed to (one of) the RCC. It was very full and busy. The coffee machine wasn't working. Since it was my first time at Dulles airport I wasn't sure how much time to allow to get the bus to the G concourse for the next flight. I ended up being a little early and wished I had waited some more as it was jammed packed - barely enough room to stand. Many of the boarding announcements included comments about onboard toilets being out of order, so the terminal toilets were well used with lengthy queues.
Across the tarmac to the Mesa Airlines CRJ bound for JFK. Not unexpectedly I had to gate check my carry-on. The all economy aircraft was full. We had a late pushback due to an aircraft behind blocking us in. The short flight (comparable flight time to most domestic flights in NZ) had no service at all. There were no views and indeed it was raining in New York. I was beginning to wonder if the whole northern part of the lower 48 was clouded/rained in today - it sure seemed that way. We were able to collect gate checked bags at the aircraft (the same system I'd experienced in europe), so it was straight to the airtrain for the change of terminals. The JFK Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse is a very nice lounge - certainly in the top 5 that I have visited. Not only the usual nice showers, computers and a wide selection at the bar, but it also has sit down dinner service which is great for the overnight trans-atlantic flights. In case you're wondering what Virgin Atlantic has to do with a Star Alliance around the world, this is the designated lounge for Singapore Airlines (at least for PPS and first/business class passengers) with whom I'm flying to Frankfurt tonight. While in the lounge I catch up on email but skip the meal and drinks on offer. After an hour or so it is time to head through security and board from the far end gate. The flight is moderately full - in contrast to the other time I flew this leg when it was almost empty. Nevertheless we push back on time, but have a very slow taxi due to a runway change (grrr that happened last time too). It took us more than 30 minutes from push back to reach the start of the active runway. This is where Singapore Airlines IFE comes to the fore - unlike some other airlines (eg Air New Zealand, Qantas, etc); the avod Wisemen 3000 is up and running from before pushback and so I make the most of the ground delay by watching a movie. As we pass the northeast of Canada we get a spectacle which I've rarely experienced - the northern lights are on display out the left hand side. We have strong tailwind and so arrive on time, but again delayed slightly - this time due to the prior aircraft still being at our gate. |

After clearing immigration - the usual 10 second check and stamp (grrr another blank page gone) - I change some money and check email. Then over to the lufthansa first class terminal (FCT). Since the forecast rain hasn't yet arrived I walk across instead of waiting for complimentary car ride.
First up a shower after long day travelling, then a sleep since I watched movies and talked most of the transatlantic flight. Later I grab a nice meal. The FCT is almost empty - with between 1 and 10 of us at varying times. |

SOUTHEAST continued
Eventually it was time to leave the first class terminal by Mercedes transfer directly to the gate. Onboard and the doors shut behind me. Now I see how the upgrade cleared so easily (I had previously complained about upgrade evouchers on Lufthansa not clearing for me) - there are just 3 of us in first class and about the same in business class. With such a very light load the FAs are unusually cheery. Since I last flew LH first (on award last November) the amenity kit has changed but not the pajamas. The kit is now in a half bag/half towel and consists of [insert contents here]. When I woosily get up to get changed after a light dinner I realise that maybe I had too many drinks since boarding :o I slept very soundly most of the rest of the flight. As has been mentioned by others, the serving sizes on the overnight LH flights are very small. If you don't have time to eat in the lounge, you'll likely want to ask for seconds. Also on this flight they ran out of caviar :eek: |

JOHANNESBURG
We had a slow approach and then slow taxi - a very busy arrival time in the morning. Of course this also meant long queues at immigration, but not as long as the South African/African queue. After changing some money (terrible commission rates at JNB airport) then a ride to the hotel. I was staying at Hilton Sandton. When I went to book the rates were dreadful (I thought) for what I expected would be a quiet period (since it is primarily a hotel for businesspeople). There was also no award availability showing so I gave HHonors Diamond desk a call. Leave it with us they said, quietly confident they could arrange something. Imagine my surprise when they came back with a point stretcher to boot. ^ to the diamond desk people. (This is one of the hotels going up category soon, probably reflecting their high room rates, so a great deal.) Even though I arrived around 10am there was no problem checking in early at the exec lounge, even inviting me to have breakfast on them (which I declined after the previous night's excesses). The room was nice with a good view of the sprawling suburbs across the high veldt and J'burg city centre in the distance. The exec lounge was very good with nice breakfast spreads, also afternoon tea and then canapes in the evening, and all afternoon free drinks. I also got fruit, water and a bottle of a modest local red wine. While in J'burg, I explored Sandton on foot. Most of the corporate offices had their own security and barbed wire but it didnt feel at all unsafe to me. Due to limited time, I also took a half day tour visiting Soweto and the apartheid museum - definitely recommend both, very sobering. |

EASTWARD
All to soon it was back to the airport. It seems South Africa has some ridiculous restrictions on changing Rand to other currencies - ridiculous because there is nothing stopping you changing once you are in another country. Check in took a while thanks to another fistful of boarding passes for my next bit. Immigration was quick and then off to the Virgin Atlantic club house. This is quite a nice lounge. Not as good as JFK clubhouse (or FRA first class terminal of course!) mind, but better than most lounges. Decent food and drink, internet, tv, styley. One of the loos was out of order though so don't leave it too late to go before boarding. Then a trek to the other end of the terminal to the bus gate. By now it has started raining so a dash to the bus, and again at the other end to the covered stairs up to the Singapore Airline 747 aircraft. The FAs hand out towels to dry off ^ The flight is almost totally full with just a couple of empty seats (no shows?). As expected with the high altitude, the take off roll is impressively long. I catch a few movies and a little bit of sleep. |
