Great report except for one omission, no photos of a seat or cabin layout on the AA metal.

Excellent photographs - the only thing I did not see was a picture of a 'Bloody Mary'! A delightful product on AA.
You are obviously well self-restrained drinking 'coke zero'.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole report.

I am in HNL at the moment with a dinner engagement tonight - but hoping to poke my head into Lulu's.
I shall be in disguise and incognito.

Thanks for the Trip Report andset1191.

It sounds like you had a lot of fun at Shannon!

Was the car in London City to the Radisson arranged for you by BA?

I've got a Tier Point run to HNL in August, so you've given me a taste of what I've got to look forward to. ^

Add me to the list of those that enjoyed your report. I feel exhausted at the thought of all that flying.

Great report. Gotta love the DYKWIA first class man being humiliated!

I am not a lover of premium food but some of the food serviced looked terrible.

Thanks for the trip report, andset1191! It was an entertaining read, although I thought a little too much negativity creeping in a times

I think flying all the way to Honolulu is a perfectly acceptable way to spend your leave! Excellent work, ignore the haterz.

Beautiful pics of Hawaii, too.

Also I note and appreciate the vast amounts of ice cream

Enjoyed this - thanks! Interesting to see how variable service on BA remains. Also, interesting to see how low CWLCY loads were. Service should have been good at least!

Spectacular, if exhausting, trip report! But I can't wrap my mind around one element:

Are you saying that there were bar patrons left to sleep overnight on the floor? And the management not only allowed this, but provided pillows so the patrons could sleep there?

At a Westin?
