724 Photo taken by: James Barclay Route: NRT-TPE, March 2006 Duration: 3 hours 20 minutes Class: First Aircraft: 747-400 Meal: Dinner Contents: Main course of "Sauteed seabass filet with leek and mustard sauce", served with Japanese rice with mixed mushrooms and oriental vegetables. Comments: Excellent service by the FAs in a full cabin of 12. There was great turbulence during the flight which made taking pictures difficult! My wife and I were the only 2 to get the soup - they stopped serving it because it was too bumpy and they were afraid it would spill into someone's lap! The pre-departure amuse bouche was nice with Champagne. They didn't offer this on the return lunch from TPE. Their FAs are the nicest and warmest in the air. |
