Hi all! Appologies in advance for the lack of text. I have been pretty busy and never got a chance to write up something, but wanted to share the pictures nevertheless. Enjoy!

Nice pictures. However would have been better if you had written something about the service on board, the crew and such.

Again, I didn't have time to comment but at least wanted to share the pictures taken.

The lunch/dinner on American Airlines is an embarrassment, I think. Wasn't this called Flagship Service at one time. The only reason I fly them on occasion and sort of support them, is that they did not file bankruptcy and screw the workers like United. I may try them this year on their new service to Budapest.,

OK, I didn't want to go there, but on BA, when people asked for their luggage, cabin crew would open the bins, reshuffle the baggage and hand the luggage or jacket requested. When there is a question, BA staff would respond very conrteously. All I have seen on AA recently has been snappy service. They would laugh at you if you ask them for your bag, and then avoid questions about connections and immigration forms with standard prerecorded responses like "contact ground staff". Very few FA on American are going out of their way to help. This is not to say there are no exceptions, but the stadards are just different. Last but not least, the forced and awekward security screnning on everyone checking in for AA flight in Europe is just pointless. The random questions asked aren't going to stop any terrorists.

AA still looks like it did last year, adequatly satisfying for medium haul across the Atlantic. I'll comment that the meal portion looks much better than what I got on Virgin Atlantic this year.
Pictures are supposed to share a thousand words and in this report they certainly do. It looks like you had an exciting time in Europe and some nice flights.
Thanks for sharing.
Kev.
