CX 744 F class Seats
I will be travelling in First class to LHR. I have been wanting to sit next to my girlfriend, but the suite designs in the middle seats (3D, 3G) have a screen in between. I was wondering if 3A and 3D is closer to each other? If not, what are the best seats with the closest proximity.
Also I will be on the late night flight CX 251.. How is the meal service there? Will it be a light meal only with no Caviar? If so I probably need to eat before.:p Thanks.. |

The Screen Goes Up and Down, with reguard to Supper there will still be The Full Caviar Service just likely fewer Main Course and Dessert choices.
However if there is something you want in The Pier or The Wing enjoy that there, but save room for the Caviar on Board. |
Thank you for the quick response. Much appreciated.
Also I will be connecting a BA flight that departs in Terminal 1 in LHR (CX will arrive in terminal 3). How is the customs nowadays? Very strict? If I fly business class in BA, will I be able to use Fast track in the flight connection centre? |
Is the BA flight domestic or international? If international then you won't have to clear customs - just security. Last time I was there Fast Track was only from landside - there wasn't one at the FCC (but things may have changed).
If you have a UK or EU passport then I would be tempted to go landside and then back again, which will let you go to Zone R security in T1 which tends to be a lot quicker. |
I don't know if Milan, Italy is counted as international? Is it?

I presume that you don't hold an EU passport, so my I would probably go for the FCC and transfer airside without going through immigration or customs. Allow at least 90 minutes for the security check. |

Thank you Marcus.

OK - add history book to the atlas and dictionary... Ireland was part of the UK until quite recently; Italy has never been.

Valid question ... Ireland is not grouped onto the International side of T1.
So you're saying that Ireland is grouped into the International side at random? Maybe you need to pick up a history book too. Is Switzerland international? Is France? Is Beigium? Do enlighten me. |

T1 International has an F lounge (maybe nicer than the T4 F lounge) along with showers at the MB spa. The lounge serves bacon butties and other food (making sleeping through breakfast on the plane an option, though the CX breakfast is better). As for best seats when traveling with someone, 1A/K are definitely the best for 2 people traveling together (or alone, for that matter); however these are reserved for Diamonds most of the time. Given the very high loads to LHR in the past couple of months, I'm sure they are taken. The old F seats were better for couples. I guess the new F seat will be wide enough for 2 people (though it isn't certified for such use). |
My apologies for the outdated information on FCC fast track. number_6 is far more current on this than me.

FWIW, the UK and Ireland for many years have a common boarder. This means all flights between the ROI and the UK are considered domestic. Technically this also means a passport is not required for travel between the two, however in practice most people bring their passports, especially as when you fly into DUB from LHR you still pass the boarder checks. Coming back into LHR however there is nothing!
Most EU countries are now part of a boarder agreement called Schengen which effectively means that flights between Schengen countries are effectively considered domestic and therefore do not have any boarder controls. The UK and the ROI of not part of this agreement therefore a passport is required to travel between the UK/ROI to Schengen countries such as France and Germany. To answer the OPs original question, if your flying through T1 with BA and have OW status, you have access to Zone R which provides a Fast Track service regardless of class of travel. In T4 however, BA only provides access to Fast Track for passengers flying in F & J. |
