I liked your cabin-view photos, and was interested in you comment that while the cabin was small, it felt spacious.
Did you think that the narrow aisle was a problem?

[...] I’m at it: I don’t understand the business class cabin fetish people have (look, a photo of the soda they served me!) Yes, it’s far more comfortable than coach. Sure. But [...]

This is such a wonderful trip report. Thank you so much for it! It kept me looking forward to the trip on BA004 last week and everything turned out the same way as it did for you. Excellent service, great seats, I was even able to sleep for almost five hours – all in all just my eastbound ride of a lifetime across the pond! Will be back on BA001-004 in May!

Breakfast to go is such a convenient feature. A few years ago, when I used to do more short, overnight flights, like East bound transcon or trans-Atlantic than I do these days, I was sometimes given coffee in a foam cup and a muffin in a napkin to consume during landing which allowed me a few minutes more sleep. Other times, I have been given breakfast breads and Coke to take with me.

Thanks for the trip report…. a few observations about the trip… Mentioning that it was the best service, and polished had me relieved. A ticket that has a cost of $2-$4k, and only 17 passengers for an entire flight crew, with limited meal services, I am glad to see that the service was top notch. If I had heard any otherwise I would be disheartened by this class of service, reduced work load, high cost, if it equated to mediocre. Glad to see they also put positive people on the flight, versus the normal ones that the majority of the pax interact with. Thanks again for the trip report.

@ Simon — That’s correct. You essentially arrive in the US as a domestic passenger.

Just a question up front, I heard some rumours about the stopover, could you confirm for me that Immigration is done in Shannon?

@ Gary — I promise it’s coming! Have been *very* busy this past week and just finished uploading all the pictures to the blog, so now all I have to do is write the rest of the report (although I have already written a decent amount of the text). Hopefully it’ll continue with an installment a day starting tomorrow.

As far as the miles go, I did add my Executive Club number to the reservation and while the flights posted in my summary, I wasn’t awarded any miles. I think I’ll find a way to deal with it.
