A couple.
My first ever BA flight was to SYD and me and my dad were travelling in Y in 2001.
We got chatting to the check in assistant about our trip and the fact that it was the first time my dad had been back to OZ in 32 years when he was in the army (three tours of vietnam)
When we got to the gate, I got scanned and started to walk down the ramp, then my dad got scanned and I got called back. The lady at the gate scribbled something on our boarding cards and told us to have a nice flight. When we got to the door and where asked to follow the steward to our seats in Business (cradle seats) We just couldn't believe it!
We then got welcomed and upgraded on our return via SFO to what was the new WT+.
Then the next experience was mine and my wifes first CW trip. Just AWESOME. I will never forget it.
