There was an 'seat' - like an ottoman, that he sat on. Blocked the way to the lav.

Encourage you to write in with your photos - it actually helps them go back to the vendor.

Now that I think about it I wonder if they gave everyone a half portion so they didn't run out of the burrito? The options on the flight were a coconut chia smoothie, french toast, or breakfast burrito. I suspect the breakfast burrito was the most popular option so do you think it's possible they were like let's just give everyone half and then we have enough for the full flight? Unlikely but only thing I could think of

- Cycle 1: January/May/September
- Cycle 2: February/June/October
- Cycle 3: March/July/November
- Cycle 4: April/August/December
But with the recent menu changes, this no longer appears to be the case.

I would prefer monthly rotation, but oh well.
