The boarding experience was okay. The dietary food choices were limited, the midway snacks were hard and dry. The seat was uncomfortable - stiff seat cushion, seat back kept springing back to the upright position, narrow seat width. Love the app and the ability to track my luggage. Flight crew was efficient.

This flight was impacted by a nearly 4, yes 4 hour delay. They replaced a 777 with another one and it had to be cleaned and catered before we could depart. Great crew did it without complaint.
