British Airways Flight 102

 

Let's start out by telling you the routing of my flight...

 

We departed Runway 16 in Calgary pretty well on time.   Our routing took us directly over Prince Albert SK, then onto The Pas, MB.  Followed by Norway House, we finally crossed the Hudson Bay Coast somewhere near Fort Severn, ON.

 

Continuing on, we passed over the Belcher Islands, and across Northern Quebec and Labrador.  Our routing took us just south of the tip of Greenland, to cross the coast of Ireland just north of Shannon.

 

The final part of the first leg of my journey had us crossing the Celtic Sea somewhere near Bristol and onto London.  We made excellent time and were deplaning 15 minutes earlier than scheduled.

 

 My seat-mate was a gentleman from Nigeria who was visiting 2 of his daughters in Alberta.  One is attending the U of A in Edmonton, and the other just finished high school in Strathmore.  I wished him well for his leg back home to Africa.

There was hot meal service as you can see below here...

Supper Time!!!

The meal was a chicken breast with creamy Caesar sauce, rice pilaf, and broccoli with chicken, a side salad, and cheese cake for dessert.

The meal was quite delicious as far as airline food goes!  Haha!

The flight also had an excellent selection of new movie releases, and a couple of seasons of some TV shows.  Quite a large music collection as well.

There was also the "Your Journey" page on the entertainment system (My Journey?  If only they knew where my journey was going to take me).

Crossing the Irish Coast

 

I had a bit of difficulty sleeping for the first couple of hours.  But fell asleep somewhere over Quebec, and didn't wake up again until Ireland.  All in all I slept about 4.5 to 5 hours.

 

Just Waking Up

 

In London, after a very smooth landing, we were deplaned by bus and were taken to Terminal 5.
