This was a part work/part holiday trip - a couple of days in Dubrovnik before a work meeting. I would thoroughly recommend the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik - very close to the old city, amazing views if you get the right room and very posh inside!

Anyway we stopped at LGW the night before as the flight was 09:10 in the morning. For some reason the BA iPhone app had the right flight details but the wrong travel time - no idea why but as we had to check-in luggage, I also grabbed an old fashioned boarding pass just in case. Through a very busy security - fast track wasn't really working. A little bit of shopping and then the lounge. It was fairly busy, but only one floor these days (the new No 1 Lounge underneath looks very cool!). Some breakfast - no alcohol for me as it was too early, but that didn't stop a lot of people in there!

The flight came up for boarding - although it wasn't actually really boarding when we got there. Settled into 2A for the short flight down to Croatia. As it was LGW, just a short taxi before we up and heading off. As this was a morning flight, it was breakfast - very tasty.

During the short flight the purser came round with poured water for everyone and then not long before landing he came round with a glass of champagne for those who wanted it. A very nice couple of touches indeed!!

The view on the way into landing was really impressive - a great view of the old city of Dubrovnik from 2A, along with the islands along the coasts.

We seemed to take ages to stop on landing and then it was a short taxi to the gate.....this was one where you got off the plane, walked a short distance, up some steps and into the terminal building. As Croatia is not in the EU, you get a stamp - unusual after a short-haul flight!! Luggage took a little while and then it was an interesting taxi ride along the coastal road into Dubrovnik.

Again another great BA purser - what is going on??? ;)
