Got to the airport at 2pm and checked in at the premium desk. Luckly 75a was again available. This airport belongs in some small country and the choice of food and things to do through security are very poor.

However sat the opposite end of the airport away from the crowds of British tourists on a seat facing the other two runways, so I could see the putput aircraft taking off and landing.

Boarding was late by twenty minutes due to the crew probably enjoying Planet Hollywood a little too much.

Again the bubble was full, I then realised I had left my jacket on the inbound flight. A quick word with the cabin crew and within 10 minutes it was returned. Rather than a shrug of a shoulder which you would get here in the United Kingdom.

Champagne and organge juice were served before been asked if I would help people out of the emergency exit if it came to it. I lied.
Was also instructed if the plane landed on water we were not to use the emergency door right next to us, but to go downstairs, yeah right!

The food again, is almost like the old SeaLink menu of old. Chicken or Beef or some Veggy Mess. The wine was drinkable, and they soon turned off the lights as we entered Canadian airspace

The IFE film choice was bad and only a few people bothered to watch anything. The Journey back was bit bumpy in places and I managed 3 minutes of sleep.

Breakfast was awful, something with cheese, something else with cheese or a cheese muffin. The Cabin crew realized I hated this and smuggled me up something from UC. A truly excellant crew on this one.

Usual queues for everything at Gatwick.

Thank you again for another interesting TR. Good to hear very positive comments about the CC, pity the food was disappointing.

Thanks for the brace of TRs[y]

Top Marks for the Crew leaving a lasting impression on you.

Agree with you that in this day and age a long flight such as this deserves a more comprehensive selection of entertainment

Just to let you know that LAS is building a new international terminal right now, I have to agree, it will be a huge step up from the old terminal.

Thank you for the return TR![y]

Thanks for the TR. Glad the crew sorted you out with breakfast, I could never stomach one of those ham, egg and cheese bagels or egg and cheese muffins first thing in the morning.
If you used the upper deck emergency exit in a ditching you would go down the very steep slide straight into the sea, bit like at a water park as these are just slides at these doors, not rafts, but if you went downstairs you would exit onto a nice raft and keep your feet dry lol.

Thanks for your TR too bad your flights as a whole were shabby.

cheers
