Only Us 2 in 1'st (so far), next Sun Eve LH to LHR
Begin our journey to Munich a week from Sunday for 2 weeks in the city and Upper Bavaria. As of now, the 2 of us are the only ones in 1'st for the long-haul to Heathrow. Being a Gold card holder, I'm well aware that may change (potentialy including Federal Air Marshals), yet it still puts a smile on my face. Must not forget the box of chocolates for the cabin crew (my routine gesture). Elemis quickies are booked and the Concorde Room is planned for brunch.
Pending weather, hopefully the Augustiner Keller garden is open.
...one more week of work then long-haul home to collect my spouse.

Am guessing it is something like Flight Service Director, a title which I think is used by AC and maybe AA, so probably CSD/CSM in BA-speak.

My many Canadian friends and relatives will be most disappointed to be informed they now have to use Lazy English.
Have a good flight, chocolates or not, you'll be in for a nice flight if there are just 2 of you in the cabin.

Not meaning to be a party pooper as it's a nice gesture,but are cabin crew allowed to accept chocolates? It could be a terrorist plot to disable the crew?
Just don't want chocolate to go to waste!

Of course they are. I have given some when travelling on Christmas day. Let's not confuse ordinary life with the plot from 24

You won't find any air marshals, federal or otherwise, on BA. The thing with the chocolate for the crew is surely meant as a nice gesture, but completely unnecessary (and personally I think bit odd).
Enjoy your flight.

Though I've never known the flight crew to particpate, typically I'm offered one (if the box is big enough, and I'm behaving). They are always purchased at the airport and sealed (and I would have a receipt in my possession as well). I'm sure my frequent flyer number is referenced as well, re: my flight patterns.
...I'm just a consultant working a long, long way from home (that being Cape Town since last July). I rely on the service industry on a daily basis, and always express my appreciation.
