I made it to NY!The flight over was pretty good, ie after I convinced myself to get on it - there was a brief moment just before I boarded when I thought 'OMG WTF am I doing?'. I was forced to switch to 'mechanical mode' - buy bottle of water, buy paper, hand over boarding pass, walk to plane - and then things got a little better.Also, it was a total fluke but they upgraded my seat to 'World Traveller' status, which I think is just one down from business class? So I got to watch Shrek 3 on my own little pull-out screen and play with all the fancy levers on my seat to make it recline in 7 different ways. I also took my friend's advice and ate ALL the nice food...well everything apart from the soggy cheesecake. You just can't do pre-prepared, pre-wraped, frozen then defrosted cheesecake on a plane. The base goes all soggy.Getting through immigration and customs all went fine. Actually, it made my evening when one of the officials looked through my paperwork, smiled, nodded, stamped it, and said:
'N.G. , have a nice night'
