... together on a row. We weren&#8217;t by the window so we could barely see. I saw some cabin crew sit on seats that looked like car seats for babies. One of the cabin crew had to sit facing the back of the plane so it felt like he was falling. It would have been scary for me. They gave out snacks and drinks. It took one and a half hours.

... were unable to come due to work or other complications. This happy group was finishing dinner as we arrived. We first made the rounds shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries before ordering some pizza just before the kitchen closed. Many people here we had met before, but some were new friends; it was a pleasure to make their acquaintance.
