Creator's Key Takeaways

I was really surprised I was not a fan of the 222 widebody layout I thought that was going to be an issue and it kind of was

I really loved the Food Service I thought the food service was excellent

I was pleasantly surprised that there was a viking agent ready to help us with our connection

I gained 16 lbs on this flight alone so it was that was really good

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give yourself extra time at Newark Terminal B due to cramped space and crowds
If traveling with a partner, the 2-2-2 layout works well for sitting together
