The day we arrived Boston experienced the coldest November since records began, however with that came sunshine and very crisp (-6c) days. It didn’t warm up until the day we left!
That didn’t stop us and we walked between 6 and 8 miles every single day, the city is just perfect to explore on foot.
The Godfrey is in an ideal location and it’s boutique-style and very comfy rooms suited us well. It was our wedding anniversary and I had emailed direct asking for a quiet room if possible. On arrival they’d upgraded our room which was a lovely touch. Half an hour after arrival we had champagne and chocolates delivered along with $40 in vouchers for the coffee shop attached to the lobby. I was overwhelmed as we’d already had an excellent rate match through the reservation staff. Top marks to the Godfrey, I can’t recommend it enough.
Time to head home. An early morning uber took us to the airport where we arrived just as the lounge doors were unlocked. Wow, what a lounge and the most stunning way to see Boston wake up.
We boarded from the lounge and again as we got to the doors we were told to find our own way to our seats.
Within moments we were welcomed by a couple of passing staff members and water was served. It was an incredibly light load - only 88 pax in total. 1 seat left in the 14 seat F cabin (747) and 8 people in club downstairs with another 6 upstairs (I learned this later from a FA).
I thought I would be disappointed in the cabin on the 747 versus the outgoing 787 but actually it still felt fresh and the seat was comfy (not as comfy as the 787) but still better than any VS seat I’ve parked my bottom on.
The flight went very quickly but then it is shorter on the way back. The crew on this flight were superb. They couldn’t do enough for us and worked their socks off despite the light load. The Camel Valley sparkling wine ran out almost immediately as only 1 bottle had been loaded, the crew this time ensured we didn’t go short on anything else.
Food was tasty. I opted for the mushroom velute then the chicken. Both scrummy.
I managed to watch Baby Driver and then went for a wander around the empty plane. I stopped back by the galley and chatted with the crew in there. Back to my seat to find another glass of champagne and a bowl of tapas nibbles had been left for me. I can’t recall what they all were but the beef and pineapple kebab was an odd if not enjoyable combo.
Plate cleared, another top up and around came the chocolates. Hoorah.
Overall a great flight in terms of service, comfort, food and flying time. We landed about half an hour early, straight off the plane and through the automatic gates; out of the airport in less than 20 minutes.
Well done to the excellent crew on the BA238 15/11, you were fabulous, I hope the feedback via email reaches you.
