I was moving house and country for the first time in my life. I was travelling in the opposite direction to the OP, going from LCY to AMS. We boarded the E170, but was subsequently kicked off when something in the engine didn’t work properly. About 90mins later, we were on the move

The wife and I were laying on the beach at Veligandu Island Resort and Spa in the Maldives, getting drunk, after arriving the previous Saturday after a crazy 96 hours.
Flew ATL-IAH in DL F, on the 20th, planning to depart the next day on QR qsuites IAH-DOH-MLE. IAH-DOH went mechanical on the 21st, was put up overnight and went IAH-LHR (BA F), LHR-DOH (QR A380 J), DOH-MLE.
We were fortunatly proactive in getting QR to put us on the BA flight as the IAH flight went mechanical the next day as well. We had been told to stay in the overnight hotel and wait for word but we hightailed it to the airport and, after some phone wrangling, got us put on the BA flight. Those other poor souls ended up staying an extra night in Houston and the wife and I enjoy the queen of the skies in F one last time.

On this day I was sipping cocktails admiring the sunset from the IC Bali on Jimbaran bay, just 2 hours before heading back to London on Turkish airlines. Candle lit scrumptious dinner and good nights rest on the only Bali Europe non stop service.

I was on my last direct BA flight back from LED before they pulled the route, having been at an event our customer was hosting in the city that weekend. I spent the Friday night of that trip in a steak restuarant trying to re-schedule my September trip to Croatia, which had it's return flight cancelled due to the pilots strike during my outbound journey - I ended up managing to extend my holiday by 3 nights at the full expense of BA, which was a great result!
Having looked back through my photos, it appears I did Finnair on the outbound that Friday including the standard 9am lounge crawl in T3 and the classic Helsinki lounge meatball lunch
A350 exit row
Helsinki
Qantas T3

Watching the cricket of course. A year ago right now, Broad went out lbw, England were 286/9, and there was no way Leach would survive long enough for Stokes to get another 73 runs.

I did think about this before posting, but concluded shoes on would be acceptable on a dedicated foot rest (as opposed to a sofa or chair or bulkhead etc.) at least it’s preferable to bare feet! 😉

Had you posted a photograph of bare feet I can guarantee you would have been vilified from certain quarters
