According to ba97, my first BA was in November 1988, BKK-SYD in Club World ... some 25 years after I started this passenger flying lark!! *
It was memorable in the sense that the Services Booking Centre (this was a duty trip to OZ) had got me arriving at BKK late at night as the airport was closing, I guess around midnight as I cleared Immigration. Having already flown from BZZ via HKG to BKK that day, I was brain dead. And accordingly I tried to sleep on a contoured plastic seating bench while the cleaners worked around me. And then, at around 0600, I was presented with the joyous sight of BA uniforms as they opened the Lounge! My first ever Lounge visit, which was never more needed after that journey.
I remember little of the Lounge, other than it was downstairs, cool and comfortable ... and being hand-served with coffee. Otherwise I remember nothing of the airport, security, boarding or the flight (BA009, sat somewhere in J). I suspect I slept most of the way to SYD!!
* Other airlines, and RAF and USAF filled those early years!
