Prologue:

After enjoying Tokyo, nope, that’s a joke. Barely arrived, I’m on the move to fly back..
The goal of a Mileage Run is to spend the minimum while cashing the miles.

At nearly 7pm I leave the plane with my BP in hand for my next flight. I have 2 choices: Take a breath outside but it means clearing immigration.. or go straight to security and transit. Given that I need to board 1h30 later I played a safe bet and just went to security and transit.

Time flies and it’s already time to leave the lounge to board..

Mine can't wait for the 787.

My seat is 9K but since there is a pax beside me I check if both seats in front are free. After 5 min the FA confirms. 13h15 to reach Cairo…

The FA is someone I already met on the plane on the exact same route. She is very smiling.

Let's roll

I pre-ordered a Seafood meal The starter is good but there is no olive oil… Don’t ask me why but I pulled one from my bag taken on my TUN-CAI..

The main course was bland. The proactive FA gave me another meal which was much better.

Starting the draft of this TR.

Fruits to digest.

I'm taking a sleep which ended being a nap.

Very good snack

After that I try to get some rest.

photo 640x640 3

I wake up for the BF.

Weird to eat pasta for breakfast. Lack of sauce. But not that bad.

My breakfast for the next leg where no report will be made.

The nearest lounge is United.. I went straight to shower and relax a bit given the flight ahead of me.

photo 640x640 3

The lounge is quite large and gives the opportunity for great spotting.

However when I arrive the spread is weak. Well I’m not hungry at all.

After the shower...

photo 640x640 3

Still the buffet on the other side..

photo 640x640 3

Great view when there is light.

I quickly go to NH lounge but it’s blind. No windows.. Kinda depressing..

photo 640x640 3

A quick walkaround for a well known lounge for me.

photo 640x640 3

I want the same at home !

photo 640x640 3

photo 640x640 3

photo 640x640 3

Nothing has changed so far.

Summary:

A tiring flight given that I slept on the outbound flight. Overall I slept 4h out of 13h30 flight time.
The breakfast starts way too early. 1:30 am local time. Landing at 3:30 am does not help as well. The flight should leave 1h later and the breakfast to be served a lit later than 2h prior to landing.
Cabin crew they were a bit tired but one FA met on another flight helped a lot.
The meals are not bad not good. Average. In terms of confort... not the best seat..

    Merci pour ce TR

    Quoi tu n'as pas mangé de curry ou d'udon au salon NH ???

    "Par chance j’ai pris la petite bouteille lors de mon TUN-CAI… ne me demandez pas pourquoi !"
    Parce que l'huile d'olive tunisienne est excellente bien sur !

    Au moins le plat chaud SFML est servi dans de la porcelaine mais ça a l'air
    d'être une béchamel avec du poisson et des légumes cuits à l'eau.
    Bien fadasse quoi !

    Le second plat a l'air d'être plus asiatique avec certainement une sauce à l'huitre

    Le tout franchement ne fait pas envie

    "de continuer la rédaction de TR avec des CS au saumon. Très bon."
    Le saumon c'est une valeur sure !

    "Pour le coup c’est… Bizarre"
    ça manque nettement de sauce : des spaghettis à l'eau avec un peu de sauce ça ne doit pas
    le faire

    "Mon petit déjeuner pour la prochaine étape où aucun rapport ne sera fait."
    Quoi pas de TR sur le CAI-TUN ???
    Et puis pas de petit déjeuner au salon à CAI ?

    Il y a du laisser aller :(

    Bon au final un vol très très moyen qui ne donne pas envie

    A bientôt

    Merci pour ce TR retour dans la foulée et l’un des plus long séjour au Japon de l’histoute!
    Les salons font le job sans être transcendants... au chez UA tu as pu prendre une bonne douche et elle a l’air agréable! Le vol un grand classique pour toi mais les 4h de sommeil sur un vol si long ça pique! Le principal reste acquit avec les miles ?
    Merci pour le partage et à très vite.

    Merci Thomas pour ce TR.
    Au moins les PNC profitent plus du Japon que toi lol
    Les salons font le job.
    A bord, le catering ne donne pas trop envie.
    A bientôt !
