thanks T8191 for another terrific tr, Particularly since we have a cw trip iad/lhr/lin in early May. Glad to hear the food and service was so good. I have a question about your seat choice. I had read on ft many years ago that the best 744 ud seats were 62ab. When looking at the seat map seems they are the same as 63ab? Am I missing something?
62A is fine, walk straight out of the seat. 62B is climbed over by 61A.
63A can escape via the narrow gap between the seat and the cabin wall, without having to climb over 64B. 63B is an undisturbed aisle seat.

Next time you go to PHX, there's a decision to be made now that AA are running the route year round.
We are doing AA out and BA back in October.
Always enjoy reading your reports as like me you are of the "older generation" and tend to view things like I do

Yes, the AA option is very appealing! However, with our friends now in the DC area, it will be the IAD run again! Already booked [with BA] for September ... i really must start trying to remember the AA options!

Thanks for the TR.
I think the CX lounge is really excellent. Airy and bright with good food and drink selection. Especially when you compare it to the BA F lounge....even the BA employee admitting the CX lounge is the best.....in London!

We did have the option of pouring some white gravy over the biscuits, but declined the offer!
The fruit bowl seemed to get a daily issue of 2 x bananas, so get there early!!
The OJ [as that was what it was supposed to be] was from a multi-dispenser. Equally awful!
And the ecological aspect of single-use cutlery and 'crockery' was shameful. OH brought her own metal cutlery from the suite in silent protest!
