Well everyone, this is my second trip report, and though my first received no commentary, these are decidedly more interesting flights than HP domestic service. So here goes:

21 June 2003: BA 216 1850 - 0715
Boeing 777-200 series

Started off on June 20th by participating in OLCI, first time for me and it was excellent! I learned that my preassigned seat of 12A was actually one of the window seats blocked by a wall, so I switched to 13K, the only available window outside of 12A in club.
I arrived at Dulles airport about 2 hours in advance (gotta get some good lounge time, right :-)), waited for one person in the Club World check-in line, and then promptly (like within 1 minute) received my boarding pass and handed over my one checked bag.
Clearing security was not difficult, although over by the United/Star Alliance area of IAD the security line was huge. Luckily, BA is located on the other side of the main terminal.
At Dulles, as many here already know, one must take a "people-mover" to one's respective terminal. It's an interesting concept, and I like it not because it's a timesaver or anything, but rather it's something different from what you see in airports the world over. So, I hopped on my "people-mover" to the BA gates, which are in the D-terminal at IAD. This, unlike B at IAD, has not been renovated, and is truly an eyesore.
The BA lounge at IAD has been berated before, and to be honest, it does not compare to the London lounges, but, it has a good selection of hot food (pre-flight dining) and a full bar. It is crowded with full flights, and some may even say understaffed, but in the end, it is definitely sufficient.
I enjoyed a hot meal, and a nice view of the new addition to IAD, AF's Concorde. Then, it was time to begin the real journey!
I boarded and took my rear-facing window seat and realized once again how much I love BA's NCW cabin. Some find it narrow, claustrafobic, or just not as nice as a typical business class seat, but me, I find it to be the best (probably why I flew BA then, eh?). It does help that I am average height and slim, but I truly find this seat to be comfortable. Another anecdote: people say that it is harder to get out of the window seat when the corresponding aisle is reclined. I wholeheartedly disagree. Not only do I find it easy to leave the window, I find it easier than a standard business class layout.
Once onboard, I received a "wash-bag," menu, and pre-takeoff drink of OJ (it was that or water). Takeoff was slightly delayed due to traffic at IAD (everyone and their brother was taking-off to cross the pond!). But before long, we were up, up, and away, journeying for 6 hours 31 minutes to LHR.
Once at sufficient height, the F/A's passed through to take our orders for dinner:

So the menu was at least in my opinion, the classic supper service seen throughout many carriers serving the US East Coast - Europe flights. It was filling, but personnally, for the extravagant price of Club, I would like to see a full dinner service (i.e. with an appetiser and then a salad, like on westbound transatlantic flights with BA).
After dinner, I finished my movie, enjoyed a Baileys (I'm a sucker for the stuff!) and then settled in to enjoy my book, with of course the moving map on screen in front of me! Seeing that I had no pressing business upon arrival in Paris, I decided not to try and sleep away the flight.
About 1 hour before landing in LHR (just as we reached the Irish coast, IIRC), breakfast service commenced:

GOOD MORNING

TO START YOUR DAY....
Chilled orange juice and ruby grapefruit juice

Our special wake-up energising smoothie

Fresh seasonal fruit
or
Cereal with fresh milk

Hot bacon rolls
or
Cheese and black pepper savouries

Selection of breakfast pastries

Coffee/tea

So, a hot breakfast is back (somewhat) which I find nice, and the hot bacon rolls were welcome! Soon we began our descent in LHR, stacked for just about 10 minutes, and then landed.
I quickly proceeded to the Molton Brown travel spa, booked a massage (they were busy!) and then enjoyed a second breakfast in the First Lounge. Whilst not the Concorde Room, it is truly a great place. Good eats, comfy seats, and great service!
Ever too quickly the time passed, and after my massage it was time to board:

22 June 2003: BA 308
1030 - 1215
Airbus A319 series

A very quick flight, with the standard salad. Service was abbreviated, but even more so than normal as the captain forbade hot drinks due to expected turbulence (that never materialized). I say better safe than sorry.

Thanks for reading, the return is to follow shortly. I appreciate any and all commentary from this great community of flyers!
