You may have noticed that I have had a lot of flights yesterday, and I am very far behind on my Trip Reports, including my return from Toronto on a BA Dreamliner.
It was a very good experience, starting with the BA Lounge at Toronto, which served some lovely food! It had a separate dining room for First Class passengers.
Before there, there was security which was incredibly slow. I was really surprised at this, and Fast Track didn’t really work. That said, I had left a lot of time for there, and before long I was in the BA Lounge, perusing the menu.
I opted for the Chestnut and Celeric veloute soup which was lovely.
I really love celeriac, and this soup was just so homely and warming.
Followed by the Filet Mignon and White Chocolate Marquise.
It was a super meal, and so nice to have a warming meal in a freezing Toronto. I liked the lounge a lot, but I was really looking forward to sampling the more intimate Dreaminer First Class cabin - with just eight seats it looked great. And it was great - very shiny and clean. I found the seat to be one of the most comfortable I have ever sat in.
I enjoyed the inflight entertainment!
Now, in the interests of V-Flyer I did sample the on board meal too. Again, very nice, but the main course was really odd.
I can’t remember what this was, but it was very spicy. And very wet.
Dessert followed.
I slept for a bit - this was the first time that I have slept overnight on a plane. The ambience was lovely, the seat comfy and it was just overall, a lovely experience.
Breakfast time. Remind me to say no to airline sausages!
I watched a delightful interview with Mary Berry, (I wasn’t with her, she was being interviewed) and the time to Heathrow passed quickly.
I took a pic of the First Class seat…
…and a Club World one… which I have yet to sample.
British Airways First Class was impressive. I have since flown Emirates First Class which is on a different scale, but BA acquitted themselves well. I of course never flew ‘old’ BA First Class with the amuse bouche, flower in loo etc. but time and again, it the crew that really make the flight. I was looking forward to my next flight, to Washington, on the A380.
