My plane was 4 hours (!) late to arrive the time I used them, meaning I didn't get in to my destination until 1:30 am.

But to their credit, the flight crew was apologetic about it, so we did get free movies and drinks, and that was nice of them. And we got a $100 credit towards our next flight, which I'll be using next month.

The TV thing is okay. It wouldn't be a big deal for me one way or another, but I will say it did allow me to watch the end of the MLB all star game last year. Ironically, I'll be in the air again during this year's all-star game, so I'll again have the opportunity to check it out.

But since we were delayed - free movies and a free drink! The delay wasn't even their fault, just traffic. Travel is bad indeed but at least some try for better.

And, finally rolling.

I have mostly Lufthansa, Air France and Air Berlin.

My favorite, oddly enough, is Air France. Thirty years ago, they had a horrible reputation. Somebody inside the airline got the message. These days, at least as far as I'm concerned, they go out of their way to provide special meals I request, drive my out to a plane if the bus already left (if it's at a remote location), are really professional. Where Lufthansa is going the way of US airlines, Air France is still doing it the old fashioned way--for the passengers, not the stockholders. I'm Platinum For Life with them, and it's not from flying first class, either.

Air Berlin USED to be cheap and efficient. Now it's only efficient, and not always (more so than Lufthansa, though).

You don't mean...

It's just some stuff from a little joint called del posto, chef's this guy named Ladner. Not OG by any stretch of the imagination

PS - I get it!

And it might have good views..

(I *THINK* that was the OG, DU2, totally epic flamewar, right?)

But that little joint Del Posto does make a mean bolognese..


And yeah, I am mad late to the convo. Sue me!
