Thanks again to you and K for helping me get to the airport and also for sharing your Qroom entry!
I swapped seats with a young guy (as I'd been placed between 2 friends, their friend should have been in 19C and had vanished with their bag and boarding passes which is why my plane was delayed, the airport found their friend- though the 3 booked tickets together etc, one of them was on a different flight! Same seat, different plane!)
Anyway I had a window seat and took a photo, will upload later for your amusement!

Very glad you got a window seat! Of all my flights since 2003 when we did the second honeymoon trip to New Zealand, I've always managed to wangle a window seat except for once. And that time they bumped me up to first class so I didn't mind too much spoiling myt record.

I love having lounge access. Not just the comfy chairs and free coffee and stuff, but when it really matters, between long flights, it's utterly delightful to have a shower and freebie internet before getting on the next longhaul.

Two long stints in the Los Angeles terminal 4 public area before catching the midnight transPacific to Sydney made me very appreciative of having lounge access. It turns purgatory into heaven. Trust me, after eight hours or so, you get very sick of recorded announcements and fighting for a power outlet.
