I arrived in at around 9:30PM last night.
Flight was SIMPLY AMAZING. I have to say... British Airways has spoiled me now... I'll never be able to go back to Economy! Let me just give you a little run down of Club World, for those of us not wealthy enough to be able to fly it all the time.
So.
First.
I got to go through the fast track security section which literally was a breeze because there was no one in front of me at all. Walked up. Put bag/laptop/liquids on the belt, walk through and I was done. SO fast!
Then I went to the BA Club Lounge... While I fly BA a lot (I mean, alotalot) I still haven't managed to get enough frequent flyer miles to be a silver card member, which is what you need to be to get access to the Club Lounge. However, thanks to my spiffy upgrade I got FULL access! It was seriously neat. Huge comfy chairs, food, food and more food, free wine, cocktails, champagne, tea, coffee, espresso, free magazines and newspapers, free internet. It was like airport heaven.
I chilled out there for about half an hour. I grabbed some fancy finger sandwiches and some wine. I wasn't hungry, but I mean... If its free! I then noticed my flight had started boarding. I had a mild panic thinking I'd have to wait for like 500 years to board (because I'm one of those OCD people who is like 5 hours early and always the first in line to board.) However, when I moseyed on over, I noticed that there was a "Fast Track" lane which matched the "Fast Track" stamp on my boarding pass. I walked right up and bypassed at least 75 people in line to board.
Thats right.
Baller.
So I boarded and got settled into my little pod. In club you sit facing another passenger and you have a screen that goes up in between you. You also have a lie down bed! That's right.
Lie.
Down.
BED.
I mean... It was LITERALLY airline heaven. I had some champagne and water before take off. After we got into the air I placed my dinner order. You are given a menu and get to pick in Club World. I had a trio of tomatoes with pesto to start and steak diane for my main with a big glass of Pouilly Fume (aka one of my favorite wines). My dessert was some moussey stuff with pomegrante seeds. It was so nice... After that... I laid my seat almost all the way down, put my pillow under my head, started Toy Story (shut up) and snuggled underneath my blanket. I fell asleep for a few hours and then woke up when they put the lights on for our snack. I usually HATE the snack in economy/premium economy. It's almost always a wrap with frozen pasta salad and a mini kit kat. This time it was a ham sandwich and a cucumber and cream cheese w/ chives sandwich. Fresh. Not frozen. Delish.
I was one of the first people off the plane and the customs agent did not even ask me one question. My only pet peeve was that my luggage was on of the last off the plane. Um, it had a "Priority" tag on it for a REASON!
Mama and Humphrey picked me and my 100lbs of luggage up and dropped us off. Those who saw my tweets know my roomie from HELL moved out. It was SO nice walking into an empty, clean apartment. My new roomie is moving in this weekend and I can't wait to meet him!
Anyway... There is a rundown of my amazing flight. I've already been grocery shopping. Now... I just need to finish up some summer internship things, prep for our club fair tomorrow and order my books! Whew!
I am SO glad to be home!
I know Boston has missed me as much as I have missed it!
