But there's no point being gold if you don't use it!

That's the tricky bit hey
I will miss out on silver by one TP but as I'm not due to fly next year it doesn't really matter just well you know

Arrived from YVR this afternoon, now waiting for the Little Red to Manchester. A good comfortable night flight in Upper Class, but despite smug remarks on another thread about getting Port with my cheese on the way out-------the bottle ran dry before it got to me on the return! v(
So enjoy your first trip in UC but don't be too disappointed if you miss out on the Port.

The port was flowing nicely for me at the bar where I took my cheese and biscuits (2 helpings) last nite

Will definitely makes sure I get some port action in October ): ):

I might do that on my next flight in UC that's a good idea

Who would have thought it indeed a joey!
Gfonk ,eating at the bar is great but not for the whole meal if you have a dodgy back like me ,it's nice to be in the seat for some of the meal but I know some that will spend the entire service at the bar !,just an excuse for more drinks I think.

Thanks blacky
The one and only time we went UC on our return flight from NRT we sat at the bar and talked to a CA for about an hr which was cool
She said that once we have turned left we will find it tough to turn right next time lol
So I saved up hard so we can go UC next time

Lol true that
Ouch!
The way I look at it now is that the price of the flight is simply the UC fare. You get what you pay for right? So...
I think UC is a good product and worth it for long haul. I didn't have any jet lag on last return. Was up for work 6am the next morning no probs
