Heck, I often think about flights I took a long time ago that seemed plain and boring at the time that I would love to read about now.CVG-LAN on a Comair CRJ-200 in January 1999 Sounds like good reading to me And yes, I am totally serious.
Delta A320 Interior Full Well ThatIt was insanely early according to my wife, but she gave in knowing full well that an early flight was necessary in order to make it to my sisters house in time for Thanksgiving dinner.So that meant waking up at 4am, and grabbing a taxi to make it down to SAN by 5. We probably didnt need to arrive that early since we had confirmed first class seats (which meant shorter lines), but I like to be prepared and have some extra time just in case something goes wrong. My wife was still half asleep at this point (and not even in the mood for coffee yet), but I thought getting a quick bite to eat at the American Airlines Admirals Club (which is also an AirSpace lounge) sounded like a good idea. None of that sounded appetizing (I was hoping for a bagel or mixed fruit), so we just sat and relaxed for a while until it was time to walk back to terminal 2 west. There were only a few other people behind us, which meant being able to walk right up to the gate and down the jetway without any waiting. Not that I was expecting anything plush, but they werent even in the same league as Virgin Americas first class seats. I know, I know. Two completely different products, but still as much as Delta is leading the push to make first class more exclusive, their hard product is downright pitiful. And to make matters worse, youre on your own when it comes to in-flight entertainment. There arent any video screens in the first class cabin on these A320s. Unfortunately, an early departure such as this under clear skies usually means blinding sunlight from the low sun, and I actually had to ask the lady in the row directly across from us if she wouldnt mind lowering her shade. It was either that, or just sit there with what felt like a 10,000watt spotlight shining directly in my face. Once that was complete, the flight attendant came through the cabin with breakfast orders which is unfortunate for shmucks like us sitting in the last row of first class. If youre sitting in the last row, you can pretty much bet that your meal of choice wont be available by the time they get to you, and this time was no exception. I really wanted cereal but all they had left were omelets. If there is one thing Delta has been doing right, its first class meals I hadnt even thought about that until I was eating this omelet, but the last few meals Ive had in Delta domestic first class have been outstanding. Miles ahead of what I was served in Alaska Airlines first class earlier this year. ![]() ![]()
