Your BA style

I thought it would be interesting to hear about the community's BA way of life, be it whether you book BA flights based on aircraft type, how early you get to the airport, things you love and hate, tips for newbies and so on. For me:

​​​​​I always fly out of LHR now and will be generally base my destination on BA or the OneWorld LHR network.
My most frequent destinations are Tokyo, Athens, New York, Madrid and Glasgow!
My favourite aircraft is now the 787-10, followed by the 777-300 but the Club cabin on the latter is too big for a personalised service!
I strongly dislike BA's Galleries South lounge at T5 and actively avoid it.
Dark colours (navy blue or black only) and smart casual wear for travel - no longer shirts or anything too formal looking.
I tend to be at LHR 3hrs ahead of departure time, sometimes more if flying out of T3 so I can OneWorld lounge hop!
My carry on is minimal but must include my Kindle device - no time for bulky books anymore!
Aisle seat every time and never row 1 or 2 if flying Club Europe due to the noise of the galley and the loo queues.
My own insulated travel cup for onboard hot drinks!
Skin moisturise, brushing teeth and a spritz of Aesop scent as soon as the second meal is done to avoid the "40 minute to landing" loo queues on longhaul.
