London, England - August, 2018

London, England - August 2018
One of my favorite cities in the world, London is a beautiful place with history around ever corner. The people are very polite and friendly, the food delicious, the music inspiring, and the theater amazing. I hope to be back soon!

Norwegian Air wet-leased the A380 for a few weeks while the engines on their regular fleet were being repaired. This meant our 'Premium Seats were upgraded to business class. Fortunately these planes were the former Singapore Air A380s which are known for having the most comfortable Flat Back Business seats in the industry.

These seats were amazing. The back slid down and they turned into a full bed, even at my 6 foot 3 inch height, I was able to lay down. I slept very well!

 Under the monitor was the foot rest, just enough room!

Pickup in Gatwick...  Forgetting the right side seat is behind the driver, I know i'm not in the States anymore...

 Palace of Westminster and Big Ben. Even under construction (which they will be for a few more year) they are still really impressive in person.

The London Eye is expensive, and there is always a line, but the views of London makes it worth it.
