Heading to the airport for a vacation. (Yes, I sometimes take those)

I plan to spend it sitting in warm pools of water, and looking at fancy old buildings. Probably not at the same time, but we shall see.

Tight fit today. Big huge guy in the middle seat, and I'm not small either.

At least this is a short hop.

At gate upgrade to business class for the long-haul overnight flight!

Upper deck of the 747-8, here we come 

First row of the upper deck.

First time up here, I think ever.

Have a selfie, then some ambient plane picts

@phessler
The arm rest looks a bit like an old style business class seat. So my detective work makes me guess that this is a flight from one European country to another?
@loke almost
@phessler Yeah, I didn't see the other pictures you posted at the time I replied. It seems to be a more modern business class configuration actually. Which airline is it?
@loke Lufthansa

@phessler Does it extend to a full flat bed?

I've only been on Lufthans business class once, and that must have been in the late 90's. 🙂

@loke yea, pretty much all biz long haul seats are lay-flat beds now. quite nice, and it's possible to get enough sleep in them.
@phessler I know. I'm very glad about that. It's nice to be able to travel back to Europe and actually get some sleep. Especially if one has to work the next day.
