Thanks for all your kind comments!
I don't realize that JFK is a special route. Well I have another two BA round trip first class flights - SAN/BOS/SFO/LAX and I will see if there are any different.
My LHR-BOS flight is almost identical to BA 173 in terms of schedules.
I will ask for the slippers next time.
For the side dishes, they never asked me about my choices... they just automatically brought me this mixture of all three listed in the menu.
They also forgot to serve me the scones, but I sort of let the F/As off the hook. They were all wonderful given that one of the VIP passengers was having a major meltdown over the lack of WIFI onboard, despite promised by Special services the day before. However, I have long seen the flight being operated by CIVG at least two days in advance. Someone at Special Services are not doing their jobs. It is just demoralizing that a passenger keeps on telling you that I will never fly BA again. Yet, you still have to escort him and make sure he deplanes first.
The F/As were under much stress throughout the flight. They kept on apologizing but honestly there was nothing much they can do!
I haven't flown CX F for a long time, but have flown SQ F a bit. It is still not SQ, but at least better than AA F.
