1. Sticky Wicket is great in my opinion, the food is normally very good, fresh and served quickly (last time I had pumpkin soup and sticky wings). The courtyard overlooking the match/sports arena is very sophisticated and the cricket memorabilia is worth a look (especially if you like cricket). Overall, the setting is fantastic and the surroundings are relaxing, tranquil and a great pre-flight retreat. You will certainly enjoy it better than most non-hub lounges.

2. Seats 6A and 6K are good if you are traveling as a couple (they are very close together, more so than 1A/K in BA F I think). My mother and father travelled in these seats and enjoyed them, with me in 7A, which was another great seat. However, if you are tall (and your particular flight has UC seats on the upper deck) the seats on the upper deck are actually longer...but perhaps too near the noise of PE? Further, beware that row 6 and 7 on the main deck may not have overhead bins! In all, I think you have made the right choice. It will be very quiet at the front and you will be served quickly. In my opinion, it is best to avoid all seats near the bar unless you are in a party mood as as you will never get to sleep.

3. Check-in? No particular comments. Works well. Depending on your hotel, you may be able to check in from the hotel itself.

Enjoy Antigua! (As it happens, I will be doing the same trip again shortly).
