The Dreaded Flight and Train to the Hotel

The Plane
Just got into the plane sitting in seat 13A.  I have to admit this chair if really comfortable.  It is actually obscenely comfortable.   The seat has like 8 positional buttons and preset settings as well.  I have a shitload of space and they already offered me Champaign before takeoff.  I must decline as I will be taking my happy pill shortly.  Thank goodness for Xanax & and her generic sisters.  Takeoff went pretty smooth and so far everything is looking good.

Shit I see a mechanic.  I am afraid, I am very afraid!  whoo!  Close call it was just a chair that was defective.  I feel better now. 
 

The flight attendant seems nice.  He said he was in the witness protection program.  I took his picture.

They provide you with noise cancellation headphones and a little goody bag where you get everythign you will need to make your flight even better!

They start you off  a glass of Orange juice and warm Nuts.  Followed by a nice salad and roll.  I selected the Chicken tandoori plate (I also went with some wine even though I shouldn't).  I have a feeling I will be eating a lot of Indian food on this trip.  The dinner was amazing.  I know that I had my shitty little pulled pork sandwich a few hours ago, but I cannot just leave the food there to spoil.  This was all followed by a nice Ben and Jerry's cookies and cream Ice cream.  Breakfast was also pretty amazing.  A cheese omelet with potatoes and a fruit plate.  

The Train
I arrived to London and now need to make it to the hotel using public transit.  I did no research, I thought that it will be easy because I am in England and they speak English.
I bought the train ticket from Heathrow to  Burnham.  It was about 45min but very comfortable even with 2 luggage and a laptop bag. 

In the Airport

Took the supershuttle to the airport today.  I was one of only 2 passengers.  The other passenger happened to be the CFO for a online start-up called saatchi online (http://www.saatchionline.com/).  It is a sort of art resale website with user submitted content.  We had an interesting conversation about street art and the art world in general. 

After a 45 min. drive we got the to the American Airlines terminal.   After checking I proceed to the security check point where they did the body scan and ran a swab test on my carry on luggage.  I am carrying a lot of computer equipment and network cables so the scan may have looked a bit weird.

I checked my terminal to make sure that my flight was on time.

I proceeded down the terminal in search of the Business class lounge.  I could not find it.  I went to the AA customer service desk and asked about this.  They said Are you first class?  I said business class and they said "Sorry, it is only for first class"  I could not believe this.  I was going to stay out with the peasants!  Sitting on the floor and with no fucking wifi!  I could not let this happen.  So I went to Chili's and ordered myself a pulled pork sandwich.

  
After eating this I checked online what the requirements to get into the "First Class Lounge" is.  According to the website they said that if you are traveling international business class you qualify.  I immediately ran to the lounge and made my presence known.  It was heavenly.

With the entrance to this exclusive club I get free wifi and 2 drinks (Including alcohol).
