First Class

(Menu Card)
Lunch - Started off with Wite Wine, the for lunch had choice of Chicken Ceasar salad or Philly Cheese steak sandwich. What was deleived was different, My salad was a Greek Salad with chicken and my seat mate's sandwich was BBQ beef. With the Salad and sandwich a cup of VERY good southwestern corn chowder was service. My meal was very good.

White wine then had coffee and Baily's

OK this was not a good flight here is why. Inbound flight late from EWR by 10 minutes, As soon as the passenagers got off the plane, they boarded us while the crew was cleaning up the plane. Once on board we were informed that we are on a hold for 16 passenagers coming in from a late cruise, so we waited for an hour and 15 minutes. We were told my the captian that no one is going to miss thier connections. Once everybody was on board, we took off, after about 30 minutes in the air, the captian came on and told us that ATC (Air Traffic Control) has slowed us down. Half way into the flight the lead FA came on and told people who were going to make a connection that WE need to call Continental to see if we are going to make our connection of not. Right, like I'm going to use the airphones and sit on hold.. I told the FA that sn't my job and that YOU guys need to call for us... THey did and were told we will miss out connection and were rebooked. We arrived 10minute later, I'm still LOST on why they couldn't hold our flight for 10 minutes when we at in FLL for an huor and 15 minutes... Now mind you, we just got off a cruise from the Caribbean, and we are now in EWR where its 11 degree's, we are in shorts and short sleeve T-shirt. Our new flight doesn't leave for PHX for 5 hrs... I went to the coustomer service counters to see if we could get into the P-Club and the lady sitting behind the counter was way too lazy to help, after sitting on my cell phone for 48 minutes I called thier customer care # the agent was able to get use into the P-club were is was warmer then the terminal itself.
