Returned flight was VKISS Mademoiselle Rouge.
We arrived at Downtown Disney at 8-15 to find check in not yet open,We waited whilst they set up shop, and were 1st in the Premium Economy queue. There where about 20 in the Economy que. We were called forward first to check in and handed in ou free check in coupon, this would have been 10$ otherwise. The check in girl could not get the system to work, so rebooted it, only to find our side still not working. Then they just started to check in Economy passengers while we stood there after being sent across to that side. and said we will check you in after these people in economy. I was gob smacked, why did they start another line when the one they had started had met problems. I also had no idea what sequence we were now, this information was not on our boarding cards. v( we did get checked in eventually at 8:45. Bad service I thought. Both A330 are the same to look at, so nothing to tell you about there. Pre boarding started at 6-15, and we taxied onto the runway at 6:55, We did get 2 glasses of champers and a bucks fizz nice. ^) The dinner menu was chicken casserole, or lamb curry, or pasta. I choose the chicken which was lovely. We were given a flight time of 7hs 33mins with a good tail wind, so may get a little bumpy. I watched the sun setting going up the eastern seaboard which was so nice. Sat back and watched a movie, at which point the lights were dimmed. We had lots of juice and water deliveries, and breakfast was served up one hour before descending. It was bacon. sausage hash brown, scrambled eggs, and lots of tea. We had landed early so no parking was available, so we had to wait 10mins, with a Delta plane sitting behind us also. We went to 201 and delta to 202, so there was a free for all to immigration, which was a fare way to walk. The cases were waiting for us so that was sweet. So good flight smashing cheerful crew, and sunshine at Manchester. :
