I flew out of LAX at 10pm on Friday and
arrived in London at 4:30pm local time. The flight was really
interesting, as it was my first time flying with Virgin Atlantic. I
didn't like the flight attendants' uniforms though. There was not a
lot of leg room in an Airbus A340. The window seats were also a bit
weird, since there is a giant gap between the window and the seat. It
makes it hard for a short person like me to lean against the wall!
There were screens for each seat but they were controlled a little
remote instead of being touch screen.
I like that Virgin gives away a lot of
free stuff. They gave me little care packages with toothpaste,
toothbrushes, socks, eye covers, and ear plugs. They also gave us
thank you candy at the end of the flight. Dinner was a three course
meal. I had curry, bread, salad, and pudding for desert. They also
served yoghurt (which I didn't like) and a muffin for breakfast. The
flight was really good, and had very little turbulence. Best of all,
no one was seated next to me, so I got two seats! Yay!
When I got off the plane it was a 20
min walk through the terminal to passport control. The staff was
efficient, but there were a lot of people so it took awhile. Henry
met me on the other side with a bottle of water and a hug. Henry is a
little sick with a cold. We made our way to the train, which takes
you into London. The train was very nice, but hard to find and very
confusing (luckily Henry already made all the mistakes last week).
Then we took the Underground to Kings Cross. I have not seen anything
Harry Potter yet lol.
We put our stuff in the hotel room, and
ate fish and chips at a pub across from the hotel. When we got back
to the hotel we showered and unpacked. Now to bed! I am so tired!
Tomorrow is probably going to be the
super touristy day where we will see Buckingham Palace, etc.
