After hanging out at the Itau Sala VIP Lounge<\/a> at Asuncion International Airport, I headed to the departure gate for my flight to Miami. My stay in Paraguay was short and sweet, but next time I will explore new areas of the country. The evening flight time from Asuncion to Miami (ASU-MIA) was 8 hours.<\/p>\n

The Boeing 757-200 (752) is in a 2-2 international configuration with angled flat seats. (The flight attendant told me to not take any pictures of the cabin, but it was too late.)<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My seat had a packaged pillow and blanket and the in-flight entertainment was right in front of me.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa2\"<\/a> \"asumiaaa3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant offered me a glass of champagne as a pre-departure beverage.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant also handed out the Business Class menu and it reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa5\"<\/a> \"asumiaaa6\"<\/a> \"asumiaaa7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smoked Salmon Carpaccio \u2013 With wasabi<\/p>\n

Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mixed greens with garnishes \u2013 With your choice of creamy garlic dressing or premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar<\/p>\n

Assorted gourmet breads will be served with your meal<\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chateaubriand \u2013 Served in green peppercorn sauce, with oven-roasted new potatoes, turned zucchini and saut\u00e9ed carrots<\/p>\n

Grilled Herb Chicken \u2013 Complemented by shiitake mushroom sauce, rice and noisette vegetables<\/p>\n

Portuguese Codfish \u2013 With onions, potatoes, olive tapenade and white rice<\/p>\n

Agnolotti Pasta \u2013 Stuffed with artichokes and Brie, complemented by saffron basil sauce and wild mushroom reduction<\/p>\n

Dine Upon Request \u2013 You may choose one of the featured entrees to be served with an appetizer and desert, presented all at once, at any time you wish.<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional Ice Cream Sunade \u2013 Vanilla ice cream with your choice of hot fudge, caramel or seasonal berry toppings, whipped cream and pecans<\/p>\n

Gourmet Cheese Plate \u2013 An assortment of fine cheeses with garnishes<\/p>\n

Light Meal \u2013 Offered prior to arrival<\/p>\n

Entrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Churrasco Skewers \u2013 Seared beef and chicken skewers with campanha sauce<\/p>\n

Cold Plate Sampler \u2013 A selection of cold cuts and fine cheeses<\/p>\n

Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artisanal Chocolate Treats \u2013 Served with fresh fruit<\/p>\n

Here is the wine and beverage list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa8\"<\/a> \"asumiaaa9\"<\/a> \"asumiaaa10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the flight reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant passed out a hot wet towel.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a coke with lime to wash down my hot mixed nuts. I usually get a coke if I don\u2019t feel like drinking since my usual drink is cranberry and vodka with lime.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The flight attendant served the starter first which was the smoked salmon carpaccio with wasabi, mixed greens salad, and bread.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fish is rarely served onboard American Airlines, so I decided to have the Portuguese Codfish with onions, rice, potatoes, and olive tapenade.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fish was delicious but there were barely any helpings of potatoes. The olive tapenade also didn\u2019t match the dish and it throws off your palette. It was a weird combination overall.<\/p>\n

For dessert, I always get the made to order ice cream sundae with all the toppings which was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After dessert, I headed straight to bed where I was awoken by the flight attendant one and a half hours prior to arrival.<\/p>\n

As a pre-arrival light meal, I had the churrasco skewers with campanha sauce which was more like salsa. It was served with fresh fruit and chocolates.<\/p>\n

\"asumiaaa16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a bit unusual to have something other than an omelet as a pre-arrival meal, but the churrasco skewers were delicious and hit the spot on this long flight.<\/p>\n

The flight attendants were attentive on this flight with quick meal service and that\u2019s all I can ask for on a red-eye flight. This was one of the longest flights I\u2019ve ever taken from South America to the United States. Only American Airlines flies direct nonstop from Asuncion, Paraguay to the United States (Miami) and uses internationally configured Boeing 757-200 (752) narrow body planes.<\/p>\n
