plane food

So I thought I would write up our plane food whilst sitting in the sun with a glass of wine waiting for our room at at Portofino Bay ...

We were on one of the older 747s which is shortly bring decommissioned. Our IFE in mine and Eva’s seats didn’t work properly and there were no phone charging points which was a little frustrating. But we are here now so it’s forgotten 😊

Plane food was pretty good.

Pork noodles for me and Chicken in mushroom sauce and new potatoes for Eva. It came with a hint of a Cajun pasta salad with lettuce and a passion fruit slice.






Alas the fab lolly is no more ... it’s been replaced with some kind of smoothie lolly ...


A couple of gin and tonics were enjoyed...


Afternoon tea consisted of either salmon or mozzarella and pesto sandwiches so we shared one of each. They were lovely. There was a scone, a macaron and an eclair - I don’t really like sweet stuff so it was over to Eva to finish those off.



Overall good food in PE with Virgin but points lost for no power socket .. apparently the plane we were on is the only one in the fleet without them. Also really rubbish in flight entertainment system - they did give Eva an iPad about two hours before landing to watch kids movies when they saw me half attempting to murder the console. But as I said - we are here, on our holiday in a beautiful hotel with a plastic beaker of Pinot Grigio. 😊😊($6.50)



Once we have our room we are going to change out of Mancunian wear into Florida wear and go for a swim and grab a pizza from Sal’s Market Deli once the tiredness kicks in.

I like it here - we have 2 nights then over to Cabana Bay for a couple of nights so we really need to make the most of Express whilst we can.

Very excited to be back here we are both super happy 😊😊😊😊

Glad to hear you arrived safely.
Hopefully your room is not too long.
I love the pizza at Sals and the wine at the Thirsty fish wasn’t half bad either.
Have fun

Final food of today was a large cheese pizza from Sal’s ... sorry about the photo Eva Dover straight in before I could get the unsullied pizza photo...

This was fantastic. Just what we needed on travel day. We didn’t make the pool - by the time we got our room and pizza we were done.
