An early start for me after a night shift that started really poorly for the Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Circle lines.
Taxi arrived at 0715 to pick me up from Baker Street and take me to LHR.
Check in at the UC desk where i picked up my three boarding passes with three consecutive dates on was smooth and friendly as was the private security lane it took probably no more than ten minutes from the Taxi to the CH which was already quite busy. I enjoyed a Mojito before a Clubhouse Breakfast and some champagne.
As I was coming straight from work I had arranged a day room in the No1 lounge to have a few hours sleep and a shower before my second visit to the CH today, it was much quieter at 1630 than it had been at 0800. During my earlier visit I took the opportunity to pre book a shave and a massage.
Both treatments were great.
We boarded on time and even pushed back ten minutes early after the pre flight bubbles of course. We were soon airborne and heading through some turbulence which got bad enough for the flight deck to tell the CC to take their seats.
For diner I opted for the Beef Stew which was tasty but wouldn't win any prizes for presentation I also had a couple of the mini bottles or French Red Wine.
I got a good four hour sleep after which surprised me as I rarely sleep in PE, ,I then continued to drift in and out of a semi sleep until breakfast was served at 1600 local time, sausage, beans, two mushrooms and an omelette thing which all tasted the same.
I think I could well have spoiled myself with all my recent UC flights.
Immigration through to the Clubhouse was a breeze.
The crew were friendly and efficient although no AU recognition like I have got used to I UC recently but that doesn't bother me and I certainly don't expect it.
A good all round job but I think the food could be better, maybe the Beef Stew would have been better if the CC weren't interrupted by turbulence just before the meal service began.
As normal I only used the Sky Map on the IFE.
I feel so good after the flight that I even managed to write this TR over Champers and Ice cream in the HKG CH.
