British Airways First Class to London

British Airways First Class to London

British Airways First Class used to be on my "no fly” list, but a lot has changed since it was dubbed “the world’s 2nd best Business Class” and featured pandemic era box meals. So I was looking forward to today’s 11 hour 777 flight to London especially at the price. This was basically a freebee as it was the final segment of last year’s Auckland-Sydney-LAX-London ticket. Excellent food and service from a lovely cabin crew and a comfortable ride in BA’s new 777 suites with doors.

Gate agents invited families and Group 1 to board... but the crew wasn't ready.  So we stood/sat for 5 minutes just outside the jet bridge.

Once on board, a pleasant 8 seat First Class cabin.

Today's menu.

Tasty canapés with my G&T.

Showtime, BA First style.

Beef tataki starter, delivered by mistake... and quickly removed.

Crispy fried duck spring roll was tasty.

Tomato and coconut soup.

Delicious Char siu marinated pork chop...

After dinner and a movie, I managed to get a few hours sleep prior to landing.

We arrived on time and I headed for the BA Arrivals Lounge for a much needed shower... at least that was the plan.  Alas, a broken pipe in the kitchen put the showers, loos and kitchen out of service.
