I was due on an overnight flight in CW but switched to this flight as it was the only First with UUA availability so had to leave my expensive Manhattan hotel at stupid o’clock to get to JFK for 5am.

Whilst St it’s good for jet lag I wasn’t too enamoured with it luckily so haven’t been hankering to fly First since.

Given the timing of the flight and its short duration I find CW, especially with the new service, more than adequate for this flight. I tend to save F for longer flights and agree that some of the advantages of F are missing on this flight in especially the pre flight CCR meal and spa which is closed.
