One side of the snack bar. There wasn't much in the way of food available, but the non alcoholic beverages were free and we both had a complimentary alcoholic drink if we wanted one, but 8 am was a bit early to get boozed up.

Sitting in the plane now. We actually were running a bit close. We headed to the gate about 30 minutes prior to our boarding time, meaning we probably got there about 15 minutes prior, and they had already loaded the plane and were issuing a final boarding call. Said they were closing the gate in 8 minutes. Whoops! No matter. We made it. They were trying to leave early to beat a bad weather situation up north.

Also, the seats recline quite a bit. It was a scheduled 4 hour flight from DFW to EWR (Newark, NJ). However, mere seconds after they closed the door, our departure got delayed an hour for weather, and there was one holding pattern prior to arriving at EWR. All in all, the whole flight took about 5 hours, but it was quite comfortable.

They didn't pull up to the terminal. Instead they had us walk down the ladder and board a bus that took us to customs. I got yelled at for taking this picture. Oops. :)
