7:32PM: And why can't they be nice to us like this all the time? I just got served orange juice that they probably squeezed themselves, I don't know. And they want me to know their names.
8:10PM: So, I pushed the buttons of my seat to make it recline a full 180 degrees and actually moaned out loud. "Sunhwa" came over and asked me what was wrong. I told her that I was really tired, and that this was great. She flashed her pearly white teeth and said that if I was hungry when I woke up, I should just call and she'd prepare the meal service for me whenever. I mean, this is ridiculous. Atrocious, even. I almost want to do something terrible, like throw the juice on the floor or get really drunk on the flight, just to see how far I can go before that smile cracks. Jesus.
8:15PM: HER SMILE IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE TALKS SHE SINGS AHH
8:17PM: SHE JUST PUT A TABLECLOTH OVER MY PULL-OUT TRAY — A TABLECLOTH. WHAT MADNESS.
8:23PM: I was trying to rearrange my overhead luggage and she pulled out one of the giant suitcases and did it all for me WHERE IS THIS HERCULIAN STRENGTH COMING FROM SHE'S TINY AND SHE'S SMILING HER SMILE THE ENTIRE TIME
8:30PM: STEPFORDIAN.
8:30PM: So, stewardesses, guys. They're all trained in first aid, are charming and beautiful, level-headed and at least bilingual. WHAT ARE THESE AMAZING WOMEN DOING IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY?
8:35PM: what is this shit, it's a sliver of cheese on a bed of clovers, garnished with tomato slices shaped like snowflakes, drizzled in a mint-green dressing that's actually sparkling what is this even where am I
8:50PM: ICE-CREAM IN A BOWL.
ICE-CREAM. IN A BOWL.
friend of mine once flew from inchon to newark with a layover in narita. just for the inchon-newark leg, operated by JAL, he got upgraded to business class.
ReplyDeletehe's very tall and often gets cramps in his leg. he had his eye mask on and was leaning back in his seat when he felt his leg cramping, so he stretched it out and tried to massage it with his hand. AND THEN HE FELT SOMEONE ELSE'S HAND THERE. he lifts the eye mask and peeks out from underneath, and there's this beautiful stewardess crouching beside him to MASSAGE HIS LEG. and he thinks, well, i enjoy this so there's no reason not to let it continue.
next part of the trip: narita to newark, back in coach, and operated by delta. he feels his leg cramping again so he sort of stretches it out into the aisle, then a matronly stewardess crashes into it with her cart and yells KEEPTHEAISLECLEARASDFAJSDFMUFFLECARTTOGOTHROUGHMUFFLESALDFALD.
business vs. coach; asian airline vs. delta.
