It’s the first time i have had a seat with a door and first time facing backwards while flying…very odd sensation during take-off. The safety card spelled out the proper brace-for-impact position in this orientation.
Got a little giri bag with gender typed mauve socks+pink eye mask, smelly toiletries and, pj’s - which were, thankfully, grey and navy.
Enjoyed some lovely pink champagne to match the eye mask.
Apparently the seat has a vibration feature but mine isn’t working.
I think my little cabin takes up the same space as 6 economy seats, but yes Deb, I am keeping track of my footprint…a good chunk of my holiday *is* bike powered.
On the menu is a starter of lobster bisque followed by Chilean Bass. The fish is also known as Patagonia Toothfish but thats name is a hard sell in chichi cuisine. Both were delish!
After a decent sleep on my lay-flat bed, had an equally yummy breakfast. Followed by some thank you truffles.
I got a mini-cpap that can run on a battery for this trip as we are camping -it’s also the perfect size for the plane…probably the best flying sleep I’ve ever had.

In Doha now after 11-1/2 hours in the air and looking at 7 1/2 hours on the ground before heading to Jo-berg. There were more direct routes to Victoria Falls, but not more comfortable ones. Hanging out in a massive lounge overlooking an indoor “orchard.” There are showers, a spa, a gym, a sushi bar, another bar, another bar etc.
