But switching off the pedantry, thank you ahmetdouas for a interesting report on CE, you have noticed and reported on a number of things that regulars take for granted or miss, so I think your account will be useful particularly to occasional BA flyers. And I'm glad you enjoyed the experiences over all, plus the crew, even if was perhaps B+ score rather than A-. However, I think you were tipped out of T5B a bit too soon by the sounds of it, they get the same food, at the same time, as South and so long as you are at the departure gate 22 minutes before departure that's all that matters.
Next trick: how to sort out that Blue card thing. Are you sure you don't have a pressing need to visit Tallinn?
Thanks for the kind words CWS! To be honest, knee room is most important for me as I feel a bit claustrophobic when I put my knees on the seat front in front of me, which is a major issue with 30-inch pitch!
So, 1A was a really nice seat to have, especially for tall people! The only annoying thing is you have to stow your laptop bag fo take off and landing as it is a bulkhead seat, but that's a small price to pay.
