It must have been during the transition from free drinks in coach to the pay for drinks pricing. When we last flew, the flight attendants hadn't all seen the memo, but unfortunately, they all have by now.Dean Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317311364315454284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-23555267933113486952013-04-06T17:43:07.986+02:002013-04-06T17:43:07.986+02:0084 degrees!

No shrimp on the menu here, nor other resort food. Comfort food for stay-inside projects!<br />I'll be thinking of you on vacation and wishing for better weather here - eventually.<br />Dean - I'm surprised that in coach three of you had different fees for drinks? I've never heard that before.

Y has even mastered his BBQing skills for winter cooking.<br /><br />BTW and IIRC from my days on the road and in the air: <br />Terminal 1 is for Star Alliance carriers like Air Canada, UA and US air etc. They share the same lounges sometimes .<br /><br />Terminal 2 : the newest gates are for the STY Team carriers such as AF, Delta etc . You can also have some other European airlines at T2 but you have to take the bus to get to your plane.<br /><br />Other Star Alliance airlines like Singapore Airlines may use T2 also because of the A380 planes. I could be wrong but 2 yrs ago we landed from an AF A380 and there was one nearby.The Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457136925020206640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-86725754300266333102013-04-06T15:39:26.095+02:002013-04-06T15:39:26.095+02:00I love your photos Ken and always learn and see so...I love your photos Ken and always learn and see something new.

I love the flight from Charlotte to New Bern, which on a jet takes only about 45 minutes from boarding to de-planing.<br /><br />Carolyn: barbecue from Smithfield's (not the best but pretty damn good), fresh local shrimp, and collard greens my mother cleaned, cooked, and froze. Hush puppies. Cole slaw. A goo hamburger. I've probably gained five pounds. I'm sure we flew over Pennsylvania. Walt was tracking the flight on-line. We passed over the NY Finger Lakes on the way south and then over Pa., W. Va., etc. on the way to N.C.<br /><br />Dean, I had to pay $7 for one of those miniature bottles of Chilean Chardonnay on the plane. Otherwise, food, soft drinks, juic, coffee etc. were free.<br /><br />Evelyn, Aérogare numéro 1 is in nice shape now. For a few years, it was getting kind of run-down, but now it's been refurbished. I like it too.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-49994661566067752202013-04-06T14:51:36.097+02:002013-04-06T14:51:36.097+02:00Did they offer you complimentary food and drinks ...Did they offer you complimentary food and drinks on your flight? The pricing structure of international flights is becoming more like the domestic ones as far as inflight service is concerned. When we went to Portugal last year, the three of us sat in different areas of coach. I was charged $5 for a glass of wine, my brother $2, and my uncle got free drinks. I don't like the trend!Dean Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317311364315454284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-60281085209463726352013-04-06T14:28:10.258+02:002013-04-06T14:28:10.258+02:00I love that old terminal at Roissy!I love that old terminal at Roissy!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-35453671841363549302013-04-06T13:46:52.384+02:002013-04-06T13:46:52.384+02:00How I love to see those farm fields on our way in,...How I love to see those farm fields on our way in, and how I hate to say goodbye to them when we head home.<br /><br />Ken, I think you may have flown over us in the mountains of PA.
