JFK-LAX-DEN again

Just a short walk from Gate 3 is the main Admirals Club and Flagship Lounge.

Wasn't hungry today so I hit the shower to wake up before heading back to LAX.

OK, maybe a little something to eat.

Then back down to the same gate and plane as our inbound. 

OK, just a little color mismatch on the monitors.

Yikes, glad I wasn't trying to get to EZE last night.

Breakfast

Boarding had already starting by the time I arrived.

Pleasant crew this morning although a little short on refined service skills.  Same menu choices as last week although I believe the wine list is a little different.

My quiche Pre-order was acknowledged with "you pre-ordered the eggs?"

Our service-challenged FA neglected to clear the fruit/yogurt before she brought the quiche and asked me "Can you grab that for me? I don't think it's too hot." while she cleared the fruit/yogurt dishes.  

The quiche was very good.  But I wasn't even going to try the sorry looking veggies.

Chocolate chip cookies about 90 minutes out, although milk was not offered today.

LOL on the "Warmed on board" line.

We pulled into Gate 46A almost 30 minutes early, right next to the Bus Terminal departure point.  

Looking back at our A321 from Bus departure.

Not a lot of passengers on this departure.

Lunch

Fabulous Eagle crew today. Open bar PDB. Explained meal options in full. Attentive service the entire flight. Properly paced service with drinks and nuts before lunch. Then lunch. What a concept! Choice Pecan Crusted Chicken salad or the Pastrami Sandwich and Salad.

Wow, today's chicken was about 3 times the size of yesterday's chicken.

Freshly Ground Pepper? Well I guess at one time it was.  

Spectacular scenery on the way east.

And DIA in the distance as we vector to approach.

We arrived on time at 3:45p and I was home by 4:30p.   Back home for a day and a half and then off to Montréal.
