Depart for Cape Town South Africa

Newark boarded United Air – Polaris B787 – 8/9. Passengers 300 prox., cruising speed 600 mph plus, altitude 39,000 ft. Business Class, so used the United Club benefits before boarding. Open bar, and full food buffet. 7,900 miles ahead of us.

Separate cubicles for each Business Class passenger. Nice size with a full recliner from upright seat to full flat bed. Nice. Concerned about such a long flight, ie; 14 hours, but with three meals, on board movies, 15 inch screen, and a 6-7 hour sleep, went pretty fast.

Smooth ride, a few small bumps.
