A Late Easter. My EGG Is On The Way. First First
Hi All
No other reason other than excitement of my first First on EK. Flight is due to depart GLA at 14:15hrs local and the geek in me got up this morning and checked what aircraft I will be on and what progress it is making from Dubai.
So in a bit of late Easter spirit, I found that I will be flying my first First on an EGG today
.
Posted on another thread about using miles to upgrade after check in after having a bit of a numpty moment prior so thanks for advice on that.
After some deliberation I finally opted to do the upgrade on my first outbound so that I can get the most out of the experience even if there will be no bar or shower on the 777-300ER.
CD car confirmed yesterday so looks like we're all good to go.
Chose seat 1A and have been telling all of my family I'm in First Class and showing them pictures of the suites
Looking forward to it so let's hope I won't be disappointed.
Safe & Happy Travels

Enjoy!!! Love that giddy, can't stop grinning, feeling!
It also stuck in my head when I flew on A6-EGG - not normally the type of thing I remember off the top of my head - but it's the little things that make me smile! haha.
Don't eat and drink too much! Just the required amount to try everything!

Well, that was the dogs spherical tissue 
.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Pity it's back to J for my next flight
.
Going to have to do more EK flights now to get the miles so I can do that again.

P.S. Took a while for the grin to leave my face

Haha - a phrase I've never heard before but will definitely be using in the future!
i know that feeling all too well! I think the cabin crew and fellow passengers were starting to wonder about me several years ago when I was like that!
Glad you enjoyed it - but as always - makes it very difficult to travel any other way!

Infinitely better than having miserable jaded passengers who seem to enjoy nitpicking and perversely getting some sort of kick from how far they can wind themselves up with petty non-issues.
And also better than having over-entitled family of captains travelling who treat the staff like domestic help.

FWIW all the F crew I know love it when they get a pax giddy to be in F (especially if it's the first time) as they are happy to be there and easy-going.
