Despite the incident at the airport that cause the runways to be closed earlier in the morning we boarded on time and pushed back on time. We were flying on Lady Penelope. It was a full flight with 335 passengers and 18 crew. Using seat selection 24 hours before the flight we managed to get in the bubble in 78J and 78K. This meant we were the first rows called to board after upper class, gold card and those needing extra time.
The inflight entertainment had some hiccups and the crew rebooted the system a few times. I generally view content on my iPad and only watched a couple of Films on Vera. The food was average, chicken korma and rice with the main service, an ice cream during the flight and a sandwich box before landing. Service was friendly and attentive.
Once we landed (on schedule), being in the bubble we were first off the plane and walked quickly to immigration (the crew had warned us that a BA flight was due to land at the same time - but we saw no sign of them). We went straight through immigration with no queuing. Had to wait about 15-20 minutes for our bags, and we were in the car (ExecuCar limo) to SF within 30 minutes of landing, so very happy with that.

Seems like the flight was pretty much a typical Y trip, reasonable CC and average food!
A fine job on getting out of SFO so quickly
Have a great holiday, love that city
Thanks for posting

Love that city too.
Amazed there were still seats unassigned in the bubble less than 24 hours before departure.
Hope your having a great trip.
