Infact, the FA on the Colgon flight coming in told us the pilot had called operations to let them know of the delay as well. Anyway, the BF concierge then walked us to the gate and into the plane. I was extremely impressed. Furthermore, the service of both flights was exceptional; courteous, efficient and professional. Even though I had flown BF before, I walked away with an extremely good feeling about the value I had received for what I paid.
My connecting flights on BA in J were just so-so. Their hard product is better, but their AVOD is not as good, and the food nor service did not come close to Continental's. Has anyone else had really good experiences in BF lately?
I think you got lucky. I have flown both BA and CO endless times in their international business class and generally, BA's Club World is light years ahead of CO's BusinessFirst both in terms of hard and soft product. For example, on my last flight in Club World, the Purser even brought me a sleep suit from First Class when I politely requested one and was delivered with a big smile.
Nevertheless, thanks for reporting a great BF experience.
