I had some business in the UAE. A pair of endless flights to come softened by premedication at the American airlines club.
And more on board. The Woodford in the glass is the only positive effect of the US/AA merger as far as I can see.
Way overcooked beef and decent wine
Breakfast...nice biscuit
BA with a far superior meal..."lunch" salad and appetizer
Beef with a Napa cabbage slaw ...both done wonderfully. Potatoes were nice but not exactly the Lyonaise they were labeled. Maybe the best cooked and conceived airplane food I've had.
Late night landing snack. Very tasty
View in the morning from my hotel. The Abu Dhabi Emirate palace and behind it an island that is one of many being converted into luxe housing
