`I had a lovely 2 layover here in Atlanta, which I spent mostly in the SkyClub. Our plane was parked visible from the SkyClub, having been on the ground for nearly 20 hours by the time we boarded. Its last flight was from Johannesburg.`

`We boarded and I took my seat in economy, right behind the wing. It was a totally full load this morning, and the entire process of getting everyone onboard took nearly an hour. We had a bit of a pushback delay because of ATC, and by the time we were underway, it was about 30 minutes behind schedule.`

We took off from Runway 27R, and had a choppy initial climb to 39,000 feet. I caught a great view of Atlanta as we banked Southeast, heading straight for the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida. I was really pleased with the seat on the A350 - it was well padded and there was a lot of legroom. The IFE screen was large and very easy to navigate, and the cabin was sparkly clean with a lingering scent of lemon cleaning products. Later into the flight, I connected to the free WiFi, which was super fast and efficient.

`As we left Florida behind, they started a lunch service. I had a Herb Chicken Salad Sandwich, which was pretty good. It was served with apple slices, and to finish it off, I had a brownie. It was a perfectly smooth ride as we chugged along towards Cuba, and I decided to stretch my legs for a bit.`

`By the time we crossed over Panama City, things got a little bumpy. The captain asked us to stay seated unless we really had to get up, warning that it would be turbulent for the reminder of the flight. We climbed to 41,000 feet to avoid the worst of it, but it would be inevitable as we descended. Despite this, the flight attendants came through the cabin with a drink service, and I just had some water.`

`Over Ecuador, the terrain started to get more rugged, signaling that the Andes weren’t far away. The flight attendants came through the cabin and cleaned everything up, as they didn’t want to be up on the descent, since the turbulence would likely get worse. I passed the time by watching some Netflix on my phone. The WiFi was perfectly fine for streaming, with minimal buffering.`

`We made a turn over the Piura Province of Northwestern Peru to follow the coast all the way down to Lima. As anticipated, we were getting rocked pretty hard by some moderate chop. The WiFi started cutting in and out, but I wasn’t too bothered, since I was glued to the window, watching the stunning scenery pass below.`

`The descent went by quickly, and before I knew it, we were on final approach over the Islote Lobos National Park, just north of Lima. The coastline of Peru was absolutely incredible to see from the plane, definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world.`

`One butter smooth touchdown later and we were officially in Lima!`

`Our taxi in was very quick, and since we were the only international flight arriving at the time, customs was practically empty.`
