Then it was back into the main CH for brekkie, bacon rolls for the others but the signature brekkie for me, V Tasty. CH not too busy so attentive staff and a nice quiet time prior to the mad boarding rush.
Called for the flight at 1130 for the walk! to the gate. Sadly it was VROY so we were stuck with NOVA IFE yet again, had hoped for 1 of the re-configured LHR 400's at least then we would have got Odyysey. Boarded first at 1205, slight hiccup when we found we couldn't get our son into 6A, as there was not enough room for the aisle chair between the seat and the ottoman. Luckily we had 7A as well so that solved that little problem. 5 mins to get ourselves sorted and the cabin staff introduced themselves and asked what we would like to drink. They then explained how the seat worked. I must admit I found the seat controls very sensitive, you only had to brush against them moving in your seat and they operated[:0] No Carlos.
Orders taken for food, menu was the same as mentioned in other posts. The doors were closed at 1230, pushback at 1235. Wheels up at 1305 so not a bad departure time. The seat belt sigh went out at 1315 and luch was served at 1415 I had the salad with Gravelax followed by the Steak and finished off with the Mousse. Better than the economy food I have eaten in the past, and well presented on china plates with plastic knives and forks[:(] Steak was a little overdone for my tastes but I expected that. Not being able to compare it to the UC food from the past I cannot comment on it too much, just to say that it was tasty and hot, the choice left a little to be desired but it looked nice[:D]
Spent most of the flight with the Skymap on - yes it was working[:D] and plugged into my IPod. Did notice that Mark O'Meara - The golfer, was a few seats back but that was the only 'face' on the flight. Spent a nice 45 minutes at the bar with my wife chatting to a couple of the stewards, told them about V-Flyer handed out a few cards as well.
Began our descent into MCO at 1605 and landed at 1620. then it was wait and see till everybody had de-planed and they could get us off with the aisle chair, then it was the fun and games with MCO security etc...... All in all a very pleasant experience I would definitely use UCS again (finances willing).
