The purser asked me if I have any complaints about their service. I told her I put on weight every time I take their long haul flight, They feed me almost non-stop. This is contrary to my (imagined) weight-loss program.
Strange but this particular Airbus has no television monitors. Kasi daw it has wifi. Economy passengers should download an app before boarding so they could have wifi. Pero the wifi is only free for 15 minutes. Eh paano the flight is for 9 hours long. The profile of passengers taking this route is older people who sleep after the meal service. They don’t watch tv daw or don’t use I/pad or laptop. Most passengers probably didn’t know that there are no tv monitors. Baka mga mainis. Dapat while waiting pa lang at the airport, they should be informed beforehand and guided on how to download the app.
The business class section were provided with individual I/pad and earphones.
Wifi is only free for 15 minutes.
I was looking forward pa naman to watching a nice movie or movies during the long flight. The cabin lights were off and even if my reader light was on, nai- strained pa rin ang mata ko. I still preferred the individual tv monitors especially the wide screen. I was disappointed because I don’t watch movies on smaller screens. My eyes really get strained. Ayun na nga ang nangyari, sumakit ulo ko kasi I watched WILD, the movie of Reese Witherspoon.
PAL’s failure to provide me with a tv was more than offset by the kind of service their flight attendants provided me and my children. They were attentive and very courteous. They also served us delicious meals prepared by their own master chefs.
Our appetizer was smoked salmon with mango salad.
I had prawns and rice for my main course. I didn’t know what my children picked. Their seats were behind me. I couldn’t see their food trays.
For my dessert, I had some ube ice cream and this peach crepe. Both I couldn’t finish kasi I was super busog na. Parang tinikman ko lang, at sobrang tamis din kasi.
I was up the whole night. The male flight attendant asked me if I wanted lugaw. Of course. I never say no to lugaw. I just requested him to make sure it’s hot.
Gusto ko talaga mainit.
I was the only one having a midnight snack. The other passengers were snoring, including my son.
