"Planes change, values don't." And service remains mediocre as well.

Sayonara Japan! We'll meet again!

2 thumbs up for UA's modern seats (and 2 thumbs down for my photography skills)

A chilled appetizer consisting of garlic shrimp, smoked duck, a vegetable roll and edamame

Fresh seasonal greens with radish, bell pepper and crouton on a sesame vinaigrette

Main course with a glass of Californian Alexander Valley Vineyards Syrah 2008 and inedible garlic bread

Tasty braised short rib of beef with sweet and sour sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, peas and carrots

The only (big) con of the new seats: due to its inward-facing alignment the seats clearly lack of privacy. Why in the world would they do that?!

A scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert. In first class? Seriously?

Full house on this flight

Bang Pu, Thailand. One of the many reasons for this trip :-) Smile high!
