Arrived at DTCI at 0615 for a 1440 departure with the usual greetings of “are you sure?” I used the Gett app for a normal taxi rather than my normal London Heathrow Cars after they let me down twice recently.
No one in the VS security channel so was through security and airside in seconds really. Except my shoes needing swabbing which seems to be common for me!
Clubhouse was excellent, worked my way through the cocktail list with the obligatory redheads in there of course! Lots of minor delays at Heathrow with the MIA, SFO and a Delta JFK flight all delayed. The Delta flight was getting later and later and I think was cancelled and most passengers moved to my flight and the following one!
Boarded and welcomed on board with double rounds of champers.
Food on board was good - the new menu in reality looks nice, the fish and chips looks amazing, when I read the menu I wasn’t sure, but I’m convinced. The Pimms cake is outstanding and really well presented. I had the indian selection for second meal and that was really nice, so tasty and fresh!
Bar was really well used through the second half of the flight, the crew seemed to staff it quite a bit!
Also worth noting - we had 10 crew on board - which was the precovid number for a 787 and apparently they are rostering 10 as much as they can! I thought that was really good to hear!
Landed into JFK 45 mins early and was into my hotel in less than two hours from wheel touchdown…checked in and then turned around and the whole crew were behind me to check in!
Excellent flight with a great crew!
(PS….The New Yorker Hotel…. h
Off to Washington DC now on Amtrak!!
