Loved it! Picture heavy is the way to do TRs

If a picture really is worth a 1000 words (probably like 1647 with inflation?) then this TR rivals War and Peace. Which is to say: a very spectacular TR.

Which flight was the highlight of the trip?

Thank you!

Probably the flight I liked most was JFK-SFO in F on the A321B. Was the most comfortable I've ever been on a plane with standout service. Would definitely recommend.

Nice report, thank you and a really good run too. Thanks for taking the time to upload all the photos too.

Great report. Congrats on making WP (and not sleeping in and missing any of your flights!).

Great TR! The images of the seats on the various aircraft are always interesting as aircraft type can make a real difference. This TR is food for thought as I'll be based out of London next year so only a short hop to LOTFAP.

The ability to sleep that long definitely has something to do with row 43. I had those same seats on the SFO route and slept the most I have ever slept although I was in 43C on the way over and got disturbed by FAs walking between Y+ and Y cabins.

Interesting to note that you got recognised as a Gold FF. Is this standard? I have never been recognised and don't really mind as I think it should be more of a WP thing plus 70% of my international travel is on SQ so am used used to no recognition.
