Step 4: Gatwick First Lounge. I really enjoyed this space. I couldn't get the online ordering to work so I asked for help. Apparently my "Duck Duck is the problem". Well, privacy belayed and wanting food I went from my usual Firefox browser (with DD search) to Chrome and then things worked a lot better (if slowly). Sitting in a Liberace style pink velour high back chair and eating mildly spiced thali can't be bad. The champagne was okay and on free pour, so that got some use. I am travelling in economy, so there is a need to pre-load to some degree. I hopped seats a couple of times until I was in the prime position in the corner with a view of the runway and the gates and spend a happy chunk of time watching all the take offs and landings including an Emirates A380 which absolutely dwarfed anything else nearby especially the turboprop from Guernsey.

Apparently BA do stock Club Soda, it's in a blue can!
