Don't tell anyone least of all AlanT but my beloved husband had never flown F prior to marrying me ( this was my dowry - the camels he says he should have accepted! ). He adapted to F, Lounges, the whole Shebang and there was no going back, It has probably cost us a lot of money over the years even at Mates Rates, but they say that you cannot take it with you. I'll give that a go nevertheless
