I had to do a double-take because I just ate at that exact Thai restaurant for lunch before sitting down to read this. I agree, some of the best Thai food in an area that has way too many Thai restaurants to begin with!

And incredibly jealous you met Becks! I'm surprised he flies commercial, he's quite a figure on both ends of that LAX-LHR route. Though I guess it was expected he'd take that flight sometime in the last week.

Surprised to see old F still flying...

Hey, too bad we missed each other then... I love that one better than others, cheap and sooo damn good.

As for the report, only half were actually posted...

I've updated the link...

enjoy !

take care

The Thai restaurant brings back memories. I used to frequent that place almost weekly went I was studying at USC.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing; enjoyed the pics. We have SFO-LHR coming up in a few weeks and this makes me a lot more relaxed about whether or not we get new first. In other words, after reading your report, I guess it really doesn't matter because old first is still very very good.

Rather nice bonus to get your photo taken with Beckham!! Great report and nice pics - for some reason I always enjoy reading the menus! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice report... Thank you for sharing.

I am glad your experience of Old First was good... You are indeed correct, it may be an old product, but it is still comfortable.

What was your impression of the lounge at LAX?
I will be flying out of there later in the year and and am not sure I want to visit, thinking I may stay at the Admiral's Club until boarding time.

Thank you, I'm liking the fact I get referenced twice in one day both in TR forum, nice :p
Usually, that's more reserved for eightblack or SFO777
Makes me feel like Beckham :D
Your pics sure reminds me why I hated that old BA Video System, and how outdated it was along with the old seat.
I do like BA New First. ^

I don't know how the OP will answer but I personally like the Flagship Lounge more myself.
AA has better ambiance in my opinion and a nice speed for the internet.
OW lounge has more alcohol and food, but internet is crawling slow

Or maybe its because I know half of the LAX AAngels, that might also have something to do with it :p

Thanks for the help.

Sadly I am no longer an EXP and we will be flying J on the outbound.
So AC or OW lounge?

Always enjoyed the AC later in the evening. It is awesome to plane spot over at the TBIT.

Food & Drinks better at the OW,
views and internet better at AC if you ask me

Rather nice bonus to get your photo taken with Beckham!!

Seriously - for someone as big as him - I'm impressed you go the photo.

Very nice TR indeed milesaddict ^^

A bonus meeting David Beckham too!

Some nice aircraft photos there too which as an airliners.net lurker I very much enjoyed. I think having done a few BA F sectors (Old and new) I am still in the camp of seatwise that OF gets a better nights sleep and of course it does have a proper legrest too :)

Thanks for putting this together and sharing, appreciated. ^

I am so jealous you get a photo with DB! I looked at many of your reports before! It's nice as always!

Dear all, Tks for your comments, much appreciated. Sorry for my late feedback, I was packed at work.

calvinoeh:

You're welcome, indeed, I do the same, when I stay longer.

eefor jfp : It was the first time for me with BA Old First. I used to fly much more on the NF... Feel relaxed, and enjoy your flight ! Hope we get the chance to see your report.

PeterNem : Tks, yes I try to post menus because the choice is mine and it's nice to see what others can eat.

BingBongBoy : I was not sure about the outcome, but glad it turned great ! tks.

Gamecock : SHF replied, I won't drag it on, but yes it's a nice lounge. I guess it depends on your expectations. And what you are looking for. But I'll be delighted to be back there.

Short hair Francis : Well you deserve to be referenced. I wonder how you get your novel from... when reading your last report, I felt like reading a book... Great one anyway !
The NF looks too much like the new cirus CX J. Beside having a F service, it is worthy to pay F for BA when you can get almost the same seat on CX in J and pay twice cheaper ?? I really have to try the new cirus and get myself my thoughts. I do love the NF but....

bowdenj : I took advantage of a british guy asking DB to get pics with the daughter, and I asked the guy to take a pic as well.

PETER01 : Tks for you sweet comment ! I've decided to go on spotting, I don't do that on regular basis, but I figured it could be an advantage. I'm happy you enjoyed my work.

concorde02 : So I, I can't beat your RTW mega do... I also like your pics ! I feel too shy to ask the crew to take pic of me... but well done mate ! I've been very lucky since he was in the lounge for 20 min max. I wonder if he is BA premier ???

See you guys
