Captain Mayer invites me into the Boeing 777 cockpit. Way cool. Stupid phone camera.
Looking for mile 592 on this trip...
Our flight path out of BKK
Approaching 17 02.9' North, 109 43.6' East
And here we are: Somewhere over Da Nang, Vietnam, I pass 1 million lifetime flight miles on UA.
No credit card points & bonus points here -- actual butt-in-seat miles.
Da Nang means "The Nang" in Vietnamese, I believe.
No fanfare onboard, no singing flight attendants. Just another pretty morning.
Done waiting for the big moment. More Pommery, please.
The captain gave me the flight chart. I hope he didn't need it for subsequent navigation.
N794UA at NRT
Reward for any long flight into NRT: Kyotatsu! At gate 34, Terminal 1, South Wing
Oops. Started eating before pics. Missing here are toro, hamachi, and shio-kara. And maybe 200ml of sake.
Sake barrels exceed carry-on restrictions
The most cosmopolitan sushi counter in all of Japan
Still not full? The ANA lounge has udon and soba noodles
