Whenever you post a TR my productivity at work drastically reduces. Great report once again.
BTW, I spat out half of my cup of OJ this morning with this line

What an amazing read once again!!
When I started reading and got to the point where you mentioned to get something to nibble on and a drink, I knew that I was in for a treat.
Thank you very much for sharing with us!!

Did I know you were coming through DEN in Feb? I would have met you at the airport for a drink or something? I could have gotten you a free hot dog, chips and a soda at the USO. Next time.

I'm glad some airlines have extensive selection of IFE. From here a simple return trip to Europe is typically around 48 hours flying + another few hours pre-departure. So can easily do 30 hours of movies in one trip. And sometimes have more trips before the IFE content changes.

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to post another outstanding trip report. I read every single word and am able to create realistic images in my mind due to your extraordinary details and marvelous descriptions. I almost feel like I am accompanying you on your adventure.

Great report as usual Seat2A - thanks for taking the time to put it together. Looks like you were pretty successful with the BA flights you had which is very nice to see given that BA get a lot of slack (as you alluded to)!

DIA is a short train ride from the house. Usually I am free after 130 or so. Im not sure what space the USO took over but it is between the Delta Skyteam Lounge and the AA Admiral's Club. I think Delta took over the BA lounge when they moved over from the C concourse. Im not sure why BA had their own club since they only have 1 flight a day to LHR.

As always, an excellent read about your travels. BA F really looks to be a great product; it seems to definitely have improved from a few years ago. Thank you for sharing!
