On Day 28 of our Round The World Trip with Star Alliance we flew from Lisbon, Portugal to Newark (but going to New York City) on United Airlines business class. I wasn’t expecting that much from United Airlines, but it turned out to be a great flight, with amazing service, and surprisingly very good food. Here’s the full United Airlines flight review.
4:57 Lunch on United Airlines: Lisbon to New York City - Since we boarded the flight in the morning, the first meal we at on the flight is lunch. I chose to order salmon with couscous with some kind of sauce on it. The salmon paired with the couscous and tomatoey sauce was delicious. It was a full gourmet meal experience on business class.
9:55 Dinner on United Airlines - After taking a nap for a few hours and watching a couple movies, it was time for another meal… I think it was dinner this time? Since they had salmon on the menu again, I couldn’t resist. Again, it was good.
11:07 Newark Liberty International Airport - We arrived to Newark airport after about a 6 hour flight from Lisbon, Portugal. From the airport after passing from customs and immigration we went to the train station and bought tickets for $13 from Newark to NY Penn Station Manhattan.
13:26 Courtyard New York Manhattan / Chelsea - In New York City, my wife and I stayed at Courtyard New York Manhattan / Chelsea, located just a 5 minute walk from NY Penn Station. We checked into the hotel and our room was fantastic with a great view of NYC.
15:33 Joe's Pizza - Without a doubt, pizza is one of the most famous foods to eat in NYC, and so it was only fitting that my first meal in NYC would be pizza. After walking around for a while, Ying and I were not too far from Joe's Pizza, one of the many legendary pizza slice restaurants in New York City. The pizza was pretty good, and it had actually been a while since I had eaten pizza. Price - $2.75 for cheese slice, $3.75 for pepperoni.
It was a good but tiring day, and I our flight on United Airlines was very nice. Welcome to New York City - more food coming!
