Time to head home after an amazing week in Los Angeles.

Checked out of my hostel at 11am, and took a shared ride to LAX, fortunately shared the time with another guest from the hostel, who was taking a flight with NZ.

Check-in was fine, just after the VS8 closed, so the hall and security was pretty empty.

Boarding was on-time, and I settled into my exit-row seat on 'Queen of the Skies'. This was my first-time in an exit-seat, and although the seat was narrower, the leg-room more than made up for this.

We took off on time, and the cabin crew swung into action. Serving my aisle on the left was a young male crew member, who was polite and cheerful, however, on the other side was a female crew member who even from the other side of the cabin I could see she didn't want to be there. I could see her racing up and down the aisle, practically throwing headphones and meals at the passengers

After the meal (beef), I gratefully accepted a cup of tea, and promptly dropped it all over myself . The crew were fantastic, offering burns treatment, but didn't feel I needed it, which I guess said something about the tea ( ), and changed into a fresh shirt. Having sorted myself out, I settled down and managed a few hours of (almost) sleep I woke up to horrendous turbulence over Newfoundland.

There were no drinks runs apart from with dinner and breakfast, however, I took JoeyC's advice from my previous TR, and made regular trips to the drinks fountain.

I returned from one of my drinks trips and overheard a couple of passengers from the other side of the cabin complaining to the female crew from earlier about her being aggressive. I obviously wasn't the only one unimpressed with her.

Breakfast was then served, however they may as well not have bothered, as it was vile, and I figured I'd get something to eat after arriving at LHR.

Overall, it was a very average flight, not enough to put me off VS. My only job now is to think about where to go next year

Sounds like an overly average flight. Shame about the moody CC, they do make the trip slightly less enjoyable.

Glad I could be of service, it is a pity they don't make an announcement about drinks mid flight. I would imagine a lot of pax would not know they were able to wander along to the galley for a light refreshment. Another reason to thank V-Flyer

Thanks for posting
