Up at 7:30, ready to go by 9:00.
Had previously checked in to flight online and had Hotel reception print boarding passes.
Flight is scheduled to leave at 2:55pm but the boarding passes says that it will begin boarding at 1:10. That seems really excessive. On most U.S. flights, you get 30-40 minutes boarding prior to scheduled departure.
However, even though the plane was at the gate in plenty of time, we didn’t board until around 2:15.
Settled in for our 10+ hour flight in Economy Plus class. Never found out what the “Plus” meant.
This flight chases the sun across the Atlantic and we landed after the 10 hour flight at 5:20pm LA time.
Grabbed an Uber for the ride back to Orange County, and then after arriving at Michael and Dustin’s, jumped into our car for the last leg to our house in Lake Forest. Arrived home around 9:30pm.
