The staff was good! 1. Very little water was offered......First class was not greeted with water or bevridge. This is poor service in my experience. Was always give in the past. Nothing was offered until after reaching certian altitude. 2. Why no food on this flight? we were traveling internationally and were very thirsty and hungry. 3. Need TV monitors for entertainment 4. No indication was given to us about business class lounge access at any time. This info would have helped us a lot, as being in First Class with out adequate food or water - was disappointing. I thought by spending for the upper class ticket that we would a least not have to carry extra food and water. Handling of delays and long hours sitting on the runway should have been handled with more respect for the passengers.
