It's the sort of service I'd come to believe didn't exist any more from some of the comments on this forum, but I was very happy to discover this crew delivered - a welldone has already been sent.
Given the bigger seats, the quite of the cabin and the lounge access at LHR as well as the excellent service on board, the upgrade to CE was very much worth it for me. The only disappointment was not being able to sit with my travelling companion as there were no pairs of seats left at T-24.
In my experience, it all depends on the crew...I've had the same attentive service before, other times, you get a not so personal service...i actually prefer sitting on the RHS as you are further away from your neighbour, and you feel you have more space to yourself, when on the other side, your seat is wider, but you are closer to your neighbour!
However, now I have my Silver, I won't be flying in CE on European flights (i normally do band 2 flights anyway) unless I need to go on a TP Run.
