Awesome advice as always. 10 minutes on hold and 10 minutes on the phone with a friendly and helpful agent and we are in First. Saw the advice about 24 hour cut off on the phone, top tip. Just waiting on it to be manually ticketed.

£404 each, which was slightly higher than I was expecting but a rounding error in the scheme of things.

So a nice lie in tomorrow, boozy lunch in the CCR and hopefully a fab flight.

Huge thanks to the forum and contributors, we are just a ‘normal’ couple who now for 2 Christmases have been able to fly First as a direct result of knowledge learned and advice received on this forum.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.
