Getting There is Half the Fun?

Oy... you'd think it would be easy to get from the #1 US vacation destination to a major US port, but it isn't. The only direct flights eastbound were red eye ones, anything else entailed a long layover. So I opted for the red eye and I will say that Song did a fairly good job with it. Since I haven't heard anyone mention them, I thought I'd take the opportunity to say a few things about it.

First, this is an airline with a sense of humor. The safety lecture was actually a bit amusing, I don't remember ever smiling at one of those. There is some food available for sale, this can be arranged for on line or in flight. Menus are available. Television is free, as are the headsets. The ones they use have a single prong and fit into the ear so can't be used with ear plugs (I had ones to help with cabin pressure since I had hoped to sleep). Individual screens, many entertainment choices including PPV movies, customizable playlists for music and games along with flight info. No pillows, plenty of blankets. Each of them sealed in a plastic bag. One pass of the food/beverage cart early in the flight, another of water near the end. Read more
