We departed Vancouver about 30 minutes later than scheduled. However, the flight time was cut short to 4 hours and 20 minutes so our ultimate arrival in New York would be according to schedule.
Takeoff
The plane took off westward and made a 180-degree turn to head east to New York.
Flight Path
The flight path veered south into the United States towards the east coast.
Lunch
The appetizer for lunch was tuna again. While it was the same type of fish as the dinner on the previous Hong Kong - Vancouver flight, this was made differently and it tasted very good.
Descent
The sun had set by the time we reached western New York state, and landing took quite a while as the plane circled a few times before touchdown at JFK.
Service Summary
Service was quite good. The AVOD system had a lot of options. The FAs referred to each passenger by name and were quite attentive. It was nearly full on the upper deck business class again.
