Lovely report and your writing style is brilliant, like reading a story. The pics were also excellent.

I did think, like SFO777, that your comment about the cabin not being cramped was odd when compared to CX F. I think it feels as cramped as a business class cabin - like CX business. The aisles are very tight.

If you like muesli you need to get a recipe for the real thing, which is Swiss. They are the only ones who do it properly. I laughed when you brought up the Australians doing muesli! I guess if one prefers passionfruit, then you've got it!

BA F is hit or miss on sweets. I usually give anything with "custard" in the title a pass. Their chocolate concoctions are usually very good.

They do an excellent afternoon tea but sometimes fail to load enough. On a trip back in November, my wife actually did not get an afternoon tea because they "only loaded 5" for the 6 passengers. And we were both on paid F, not upgrade, coupon, or redemption. So we were not thrilled. They should not allow that to happen (it was a Heathrow to Nairobi flight).

The Elemis spa is an inside joke. 15 minutes is not enough time to do any decent massage, It's a means to sell the products. They need to do hour long treatments if they want to be taken seriously.

Thanks for your great report!^
