lax-sfo-sgn

First segment of our Asia trip - we arrived to lax around 1115 and thankfully the pre check line was in operations and we breezed through security. We looked around for a place to grab a quick lunch and tal settled for bagel. I brought a chicken salad so we were set. Southwest has new policy with assigned seats and since we're cardmembers we have the privilege to assign our seats 48 hours prior to departure vs 24 for others and we were put in group 4 to board. We departed and arrived to sfo on time. 

We arrived at sfo terminal 2 and walked all the way to international terminal A and got into the China airlines lounge which was tiny but ample as there were not a lot of guests. They served fried rice, mapo tofu, tomatoes and eggs along with corn chowder soup plus a few different sandwiches and desserts

We hangout there for 4+ hours and started heading to the gate at 8pm. Thankfully there's free Wi-Fi onboard to kill time. First few hours were full with turbulence, managed to get maybe a couple hours of sleep. After first meal that is, food was good, service was good too surprisingly after what I've read online. 

The cabin is a little warm so maybe that's why I'm having a hard time falling asleep

i woke up at about 10 hours in and ordered their beef noodles which wasn't bad and I went back to sleep after or rather dozed off watching a movie

then it was almost time to land, this was our breakfast and the croissant was yummy and flaky!

We were one of the first out but immigration line was already busy due to another flight and this was at 4am, can't imagine how it'd be during peak hours
