Some rooms at the J.W.Marriott in Seoul have these fitted, regretfully the room I presently occupy does not.

Deepest apologies for not rounding off the trip report, work has been bonkers so I just haven't gotten round to finishing things off.
The flight home wasn't particularly exciting I'm afraid, the only highlight was me throwing red wine all over myself as I always seem to do when flying club. I really should learn to be less clumsy.
Anyways I'm off to AUS on Monday on BA's 788 so do a mini TR so everyone knows what life is like in the boiler room of a Dreamliner.
In the mean time, here are some snaps of the food on the way home. Till next time folks!
BA6 NRT-LHR CW
Lunch -
Starter/Salad - Prawn with spicy yuzu salsa and green tea noodles - nice and fresh and tasty
Main course - Grilled chicken with basil butter - couldn't taste the basil but ok in other respects
Cheese - something blue, something orange, ok, port made it better
Light Meal before landing
Starter - Marinated salmon with vegetable salsa - good, but then it is a few strips of smoked salmon so I dare say even BA couldn't screw that up.
Main course - Crabmeat au gratin with mashed potatoes - cheesy crab stuff was good but took ages to arrive so was forced to eat my fruit after my starter!

Very nice report. 2nd service on flights from Japan looks much better than the finger sandwiches they serve to the US. Did they offer dessert as well?
What I do find rather poor is the fact that they make you chose between cheese or dessert, not both like most airlines offer.

I'm sure if you asked they would give you both, I just tend to not each such things so I didn't test out the theory.

I've only just discovered this amazing report but have to say it's unfortunate that the company policy may not allow the OP to fly on JL or NH which boast washlets on board their newer aircraft. Unfortunately I don't have photos of toilet lids/seats to contribute but here are a couple taken on NH's Dreamliner.
