ARN to LHR

So this is a bit more like it!

I'm in Business Class on SAS and if truth be told I'm feeling rather mellow after a couple of beers (in addition to the beer I had in the lounge in Stockholm). The seats are, as predicted, the same as those in Economy. However, the legroom is a bit better and the middle seat is 'Reserved for Comfort' i.e. not occupied. In fact I've got the whole row I'm sat in all to myself.

When I boarded somebody was already sat in my seat – it turned out he got his row number mixed up and should've been in 3A instead of 4A. Rather than get him to move I said I'd sit in 3A.

I notched up another beer first. I asked for a Carlsberg, but all they had was Faxe, another Danish beer. I think the Flight Attendant said something about a strike a Carlsberg affecting their supplies. I know there was a strike at Carlsberg in Denmark, but I assumed it had finished. Anyway, like the flight to Sweden, the beer was not very well chilled so didn't exactly provide me with 'maximum refreshment'!

The meal was a lump of chicken breast with mushroom risotto. The presentation was as elegant as my description, but it tasted alright. The warm bread and cheese were the highlights.

We're due to land at LHR in a little over an hour 'air traffic control permitting'. The weather outside looks glorious with barely a cloud in the sky.
