High-Flying Dining

In the first of many posts about my summer holiday this year, I'll begin with my flight to the US from Hong Kong. Using frequent flier miles I purchased a business class ticket, which I felt somewhat guilty about but also planned to make good use of. 

I arrived at the airport extra early to visit the business class lounge. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling the best so I didn't drink much. However, there were nice cheeses and salads, as well as "freshly whole fruit" :) I was hoping for ice cream, but no such luck.

My flight was very late at night, and I was full from the lounge food. So, the flight attendant offered to serve me my meal at another time (she was almost uncomfortably accommodating!). In fact, I slept so much that I didn't eat until breakfast.

The first course was fruit, yogurt and a pastry. Next, they wheeled around a cereal cart, and I had Special K (I wasn't quite sure if there was another course to follow). But of course there was, and my special vegetarian meal of scrambled eggs, potatoes and beans in tomato sauce was delicious.
