"I went with the fillet of beef as my main choice and I think it was the best fillet I’ve ever had in-flight…better than any Asian airline. Normally the fillet is dry or overcooked, but this was juicy, warm, and closer to medium-rare"

The flight attendants were extremely nice. One came across as a Southern aunt who is fun to go visit and always has something witty to say. They all were very chatty and personable. When they saw me taking pictures of the seat they asked if I wanted to be in one – sure, why not?!
The seat itself was like an overstuffed white recliner in a fixed shell, and was really roomy at 26 inches wide and nearly 80 inches long. It consisted of a seat and then a foot stool which became part of the lie-flat bed when the seat was fully reclined.
Within a minute of settling in I was welcomed aboard by “my” flight attendant, Adrian, a French-Italian guy in his mid-20s who was also the food and beverage manager. I guess the benefit of having only two passengers is that you get a 1:1 crew to passenger ratio in the cabin — that’s pretty tough to beat!

And a photo...By the time the dinner and dessert services had concluded, we had about seven hours remaining until our scheduled landing in Frankfurt. I had been up for most of the day, so I figured that it might not be a bad idea to get some sleep.The flight attendant saw me putting my luggage away, and came over to assist me with setting up the bed. A small duvet was placed on top of the seat, and then I was given a down blanket. My seat only had one pillow, so I grabbed one off the empty seat next to me.

"While I generally don’t eat dinner at 2am PST (5am NY Time), as a full-time blogger it’s my duty to try out all aspects of a flight. I had eaten a steak on JFK-LAX, but that was 6 hours earlier, so I actually was starting to get moderately hungry. Since I was flying to Japan, I decided to go with the Japanese meal choice, which was a Japanese Chicken Skewer with scallop, boiled shrimp, seasonal greens and fishcake, with an entree of Salmon Misoyaki with steamed rice, pickles and miso soup."
"For dessert I selected the soft centered chocolate bar with olive ice cream. I love chocolate, but did they really have to have olive ice cream? I know, I’m unsophisticated, I have an unrefined palate, blah blah blah. But I like sweet ice cream with dessert, thank you very much."
