Boarding
Today, the LOT flight boards from gate D54, which is located below the lounge.
I arrive at the gate when boarding has already started and priority boarding is ending.
I boarded directly in the priority lane and entered the slightly crowded jetway.
Cabin and reception
I enter the 737 after a few minutes in an overheated jetway. The reception is very good and I settle in my seat, the 01F.
As the boarding is coming to an end, a welcome drink is distributed and I choose an orange juice.
The purser notices my jacket on the adjoining seat and offers me a checkroom service.
Then, just before departure, a little Star Goldish greeting was given.
Service and catering
A few minutes after takeoff, the purser comes to place the tablecloths on the tiny tablet.
A service of aperitif is proposed, and I will take a vodka tonic on ice and lemon slice. In addition, I am offered a sparkling water and a salty mix.
The service, very attentive, continues with a second round of vodka tonic concomitant with the distribution of the trays.
The menu is distributed on this occasion, and I will choose the beef cheek.
As a starter, the salad, very fresh, is excellent.
For the main course, the beef cheek, which is a sure value, is also excellent and does not bathe too much in the sauce.
The dessert, a pomegranate cheesecake is very good.
Finally, real filter coffee with real milk is served, I’m surprised by all these little attentions!
I would have a Cognac as a digestif with chocolate wafer, then a second round.
Honestly, you could end up drunk with the “single or double” question on every glass.
The purser never stops, her service is fantastic.
Finally, a refill of wafer, then a proposal for another refill of cognac, one can really end up drunk!
The purser passes every 10 minutes in the cabin to offer refills!
Arrival and disembarkation
We arrive on time in false contact at the terminal in Warsaw.
A shuttle for business class passengers is available.
Bottom line
An excellent flight, too bad for the very limited width of the seat.
