After saying Bon voyage to my family for another year to go back to america, I was pleasantly surprised with a welcomed upgrade from business class to first class. From start to finish the experience was memorable.
The first class lounge provides a Michelin style experience with quick turn around food if you are In a hurry with no horse lamp in sight (will understand what I mean if you've been to the T5 business lounge!). If you really need to relax, you have the option to have a quick 30 minute massage before your flight!
In the air, the experience just got better better. I didn't think there could be much difference between business and first, but I was surprised by the little details. Johnnie Walker blue label on request and Gressingham Duck for a main course, I was defiantly treated well. I was provided with Pyjamas and slippers as well as a full size duvet to make me feel as comfortable as possible after a couple of drinks and a film.
Would I pay the difference between business and first? Probably not due to the price, however, it was well worth the experience
Thanks BA for the upgrade always very welcomed!
