Dear fellow AA flyers, I have been flying AA from London to DFW for about 30 years, used to love the Admirals club team at LGW.

Most years at least 2 or 3 times and on many occasions, I have been lucky enough to have flown business and first.

I am flying first in December and realistically think this will be my last first AA transatlantic experience based on my travel plans for next year and had I thought I would like your opinions on,

While I am not going to be able to get lobster salad served from a cart on my return from LHR I was thinking of trying to make it a little more special. Having talked to the first crew on my February flight, they were telling me how much they missed the old days and rue the end of a true first class service, so here is my plan.

Stop at the caviar bar in T3 and order 30 grams of Oscietra and whatever fixings they will give me to go. I then buy a bottle of champagne from duty free, thinking Bolli as they don't seem to have much when I look online. I have some of the AA recognition certificates which I always give prior to take off, as " i know they will provide me excellent service" and will also give the crew a sealed card with a little gift inside.

I will then ask them if there is any way they could please serve my caviar and champagne to remind me of the good old days as part of the lunch service.

One, do you think this will work and two, any other thoughts on what else I could do to make this more special.

Of course, I will visit the Cathay lounge and might even try the BA first dining for the Grand Siècle.

Thanks in advance

Justin
