Enjoyed reading your report and pictures. Do you miss Scotland? Do you prefer living in Argentina?
The best coffee I have had on a plane was on Iberia. When I was in Rome I had coffee at the airport, the Hilton and the AZ C lounge and it was bad. You would think that in Italy they would have good coffee but it's not always the case.

Nice report.
I have had to travel the Europe-Argentina route three times the past year and have taken AF every time. They have never disappointed me. Great food, great C class seat, great service and crew. Best part is they serve fresh-brewed Illy espresso on board. For someone that lives in Italy, THAT is good coffee!!

Nice report HIDDY. I agree with you that old and new CW on BA are too narrow. I always feel very confined when in those seats. It is like you are in a little cocoon.
It is certainly private but not spacious.
Sounds like Alitalia is an airline to include in my no fly zone.

Very impressive HIDDY.
I usually don't make it through long trip reports, but yours held my interest quite well.
I've taken the BA flight from EZE-LHR recently, and agree that the food and service were top-notch - especially in F.
Cheers.

Thanks for leaving comments all. ^
Bretteee - I miss the countryside in Scotland as it's flat as a pancake here in the Pampas where we live but it is what I call home now and I have no desire to go back to stay.
Euan - Aye, tattie scone should be introduced by BA.
Kevincm - Yep,the AMS-FCO flight was pretty dire,obviously word has got round and thats why we were the only pax in the front cabin. No wonder the Y pax had smiles on their faces as they walked past us
dg4255 - I used to fly AF to EZE and found them to be excellent as well. ^
Moomba - Agreed, the seat is very private but on the upper deck I did find it a bit claustrophobic when they dimmed the lights I have to say.
macabus - Glad the report held your interest quite well.
Polk - Yep it was a pity PUCCI GALORE chickened out - I had spent weeks in the gym working out to look my best for her.
