Hi there! Pickle Deli Square is a collection of my experiences living, eating, and traveling the world. Currently an expat based in Valencia, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

First time on this Asturian airline, and first time flying this successor of the DC-9, from Valencia to Oviedo, Spain
Big improvements in Valencia airport’s single lounge, including “fresh” food served on china!
A restful stop at the United Club before flying Washington-Dulles to Barcelona, where I found the meal service to be a step up from my experience on SWISS earlier in the year, on a flight of similar length (Newark to Zurich).
A brief stop at the SFO rotunda United Club, followed by trying out a Buy on Board meal on United - for the first time!
Staying up to see: will a meal be served on this 11:35pm premium transcontinental redeye from San Francisco to Boston?
Flying from Washington-Dulles to San Francisco on United’s bare bones, cramped Boeing 777-200 high density configuration
Visiting the Turkish Airlines’s stylish and well-catered lounge in Washington-Dulles for the first time
Enjoying a surprise upgrade to Polaris business class on United’s newly reconfigured Boeing 767-300 (763), flying from Barcelona to Washington-Dulles
Crossing the Atlantic again, this time in a Boeing 787, and pretty well fed with two full meals and a snack in United Economy class. Pre-flight, I got to try out the former International First Class Lounge, now converted into a normal United Club.
Trying out the “Premium transcontinental service” for the first time, with hot meal service after takeoff and a snack before landing.
The 777-300ER isn’t soooo cramped if you choose the right seat and luck out with a petite seat neighbor!
When the boarding pass reader angrily beeps at you rejecting your boarding pass, and you get excited by a potential “new seat assignment.”
