Through the private security channel and picked up a couple of items from duty free before setting into the lounge. Enquired initially about treatment availability at the spa reception and was put on a waiting list (didn't manage to get one though). Settled down in the gallery behind the bar (sofa nearest the hairdressing section screened off). Quickly offered drinks and food (tikka and burger) and service was excellent as drinks refreshed quickly when empty, so certainly not in a blind spot.
Boarding commenced on time and settled into 3 and 4k. A couple had been split between 2 and 16k and a very kind gentleman offered to swap with them so they could sit side by side. He was happier as 2k is quiet and he only wanted to sleep. The FAs did the usual round of drinks and even supplied me with a nailfile as I had just broken my nail. I changed into my sleepsuit and finished my champagne before take off and slept immediately after take off until about an hour before landing. Hubby had a whisky/cheese nightcap and slept very soon after. The usual snoring noises came from around the cabin but on the whole a great flight for sleeping.
After waking, I started to watch Red and the FA asked if I would like breakfast. I hadn't looked at the menu and just asked for a full english. After checking, she said this is offered only on longer flights and would I be happy with a sausage sandwich. This was fine and delivered very quickly. The remainder of the cabin were waking at this time and the breakfast service was quickly organised.
A very smooth landing into Dubai and off first as the exit door at the front of the aircraft was used. Baggage reclaim was a dream too as we only had 1 bag and it was about the 5th off.
Overall, an excellent flight for a quick weekend away.
