Rose Kennedy cocktails (vodka, cranberry, splash of soda). Complimentary
Red Carpet Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Yay, flying off for another weekend trip to Palm Springs! It’s great to be able to easily leave The City for warmer weather. It definitely recharges me and calms me down.
Rose Kennedy cocktails and snack mix. Complimentary
Red Carpet Club, Honolulu International Airport (HNL)
Wow, that’s definitely just a splash of cranberry juice in those cocktails! It’s barely pink, lol! Time to get my drink on before flying back to San Francisco.
Bye-bye Hawaii! Unitl next time.

Honolulu (HNL) to Kailua-Kona (KOA), Go! Airlines
This was a really short flight so by the time we had ordered a beer and started drinking, we began preparing for landing and the flight attendant was walking around to collect the cans. I chugged that the remainder of the beer SO fast, lol!
Boarding Go! Airlines.
Banana and coffee. Complimentary
Red Carpet Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
I hate morning flights, but I do love getting free snacks and drinks at the Red Carpet Club. And few cocktails are always a great idea before boarding a long flight, lol!
Bloody mary. Complimentary
Terminal 2 Air Train station.
Diet Coke. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Seattle (SEA), Virgin America
I love flying Virgin America! Their planes are so nice and clean and their staff is vibrant and friendly. And I get to fly out of T2 at SFO which makes a huge difference. You don’t get much in terms of refreshments on short flights, but I don’t mind.
Terminal 2 ceiling artwork installations, SFO.
Served with Island Crystals pure sugar and CoffeeRich non-dairy creamer. Complimentary
Palm Springs (PSP) to San Francisco (SFO), United Airlines
Styrofoam cups, really?! Aren’t these banned already? Kinda tacky, but very much needed during an early morning flight.
Passengers boarding the morning commuter United flight.
Diet Coke. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Palm Springs (PSP), United Airlines
The cutbacks on short, economy flights continue. Pretty soon, they may not even serve a complimentary beverage. Sadness.
Airplanes queuing up to land at SFO.
Cape cod vodka cocktails, Chex mix, Tillamook cheeses, Pepperidge Farm crackers. Complimentary
Red Carpet Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
I’m so glad when I fly on United with David cause then we can relax at the Red Carpet Club before boarding and enjoy free cocktails and snacks. Yay!
Flying brain sticker on an elevator door at the airport.
Crunchy snack mix with mini pretzel twists, roasted red pepper sticks, and cheddar corn nuggets. Diet Coke. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to Palm Springs (PSP), Alaska Airlines
Sometimes I wish I grew up during the time when air travel was an occasion and the meals were fancy. Or at least I had permanent first class status, lol!
Mixed cheese and red onion finger sandwiches on white bread, scone served with Frank Cooper’s “Oxford” strawberry jam and Rodda’s classic cornish clotted cream, and coffee. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic
I’m not a big tea fan so I opted for coffee. I have to say that I really liked the finger sandwiches. They were really flavorful and the white bread with mixed cheese spread had a delightful texture and would playfully stick to the roof of my mouth. The scone with jam and clotted cream were also tasty and different. Yay!
Tart and tangy passion fruit curd topped with chocolate mousse. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic
I’d never seen this Gu brand before, but I enjoyed this sweet treat served towards the end of the flight. The slightly tart passion fruit and sweet chocolate were a great combination!
A tasty fusion of fruit juices and vodka, Penn State sour cream and chive flavour mini pretzels. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic
This was the “welcome” snack as we departed London. I think they offer you vodka even in Economy so you can calm down, fall asleep, and not bother the airline attendants. I watched more movies on this flight than I would normally watch over 4 months, lol!
Bye, bye London! On the plane headed home and dreading the 9+ hour flight.
