The BA check-in area in concourse F. (Forgive the blur)

Note spelling is Scottish as this is a Scotch. Ian asked for a refill and the flight attendant just left the whole bottle. Needless to say Ian snored most of the way home.

Huge lavatory

First class baby

i missed my cheap-ticket plane and flew to Beijing on first class (which obviously was the only ticket available then), resulting in a over-spent weekend holiday.

it was an Airbus 330/300, from shanghai to beijing.

Plush, thick blankets and feather pillows? Yes please! I was actually able to get great sleep on the flight! (That could be due to the free, endless wine as well.. haha!)

We got ultra lucky. Plane was overbooked. Instead of getting kicked off we got upgraded!

Hope that was the last of our unused luck from 2008 and didn't start using up any of our luck for 2009.

Hainan Airlines bumped me up to business class. The food was awesome, and the seat very comfortable indeed. :-)

The duck liver pate was revolting and, even if you like the flavour (I didn't) it was so strong it would drown anything else out afterwards. The prawns had no flavour at all.

Although I am a frequent traveller, I am not very adventurous. Israel is a destination quite different to those on my usual itineraries and, as we approached its coast, I did not know what to expect of the vacation ahead.

Geotagging approximate.

As repeatedly announced by the 'customer host' on the 19:06 departure from Paddington to south Wales, no First Great Western service provides an at-seat service in First Class at weekends. The 'complimentary' offering from the buffet counter is rather limited: a small beaker of tea or coffee, and a packet of crisps or a couple of biscuits.
