In August Charlie and I went on a once in a lifetime trip. We'd done months of planning for an 11 day holiday to New York, Miami and Key West. Our holiday started as soon as we got to the airport as we were flying first class with British Airways from London Heathrow to JFK New York. There's no way i'd ever normally be able to travel in first class and I count myself extremely fortunate for being able to experience it. We'd managed to get the seats by using an American Express companion voucher and used some air miles.
The experience was better than I could have ever imagined. When you arrive to Heathrow you can use a dedicated first class check in area which takes you directly to the lounges. We decided to use the Concorde room and sat down to have breakfast. After this we had enough time to chill out and enjoy some champagne.
Once I got onboard the service was impeccable. The seats were more comfortable than I could have ever imagined. The cabin crew made sure we were settled in to enjoy the flight. I obviously made the most of EVERYTHING. I put on my BA pyjamas straight away and was checking out the contents of the wash bag that they gave us. Whenever they offered me food I said yes and when they came round asking whether we wanted scones or sandwiches with the afternoon tea I asked for both!
I'm so happy I got to experience this, it really made our holiday!
