Then, out of the blue I heard 'Could Miss Michelle Claxton please make herself known at gate 9'. Now, being an organised and punctual person I wondered what on earth it could be! Knowing friends who had heard their names called out over the tannoy whilst they were late and still sitting on the loo, and others who have a tendency to leave their passport in Duty Free, all sorts of things went through my mind. But alas, it was a free upgrade to business class. I have to state now that I had not showered for 12 hours, was dressed in cut off jeans and a vest, with hair that needed a wash and walking sandals. It was obvious that I was not chosen for an upgrade due to my smart appearance!
So, without a single hesitation I boarded the plane, only to see the rest of the group walking past me in my luxurious business class seat a few minutes later.
So, bonuses of Business Class:
1) a massively wide chair (though with the quantity of food and drink provided this is most needed for frequent BC travellers)
2) a chair that almost reclines to 180 degrees. Though after 16 days of travelling anything past 90 is a bonus.
3) The food. Photos are below
4) The drinks. Free cocktails and alcoholic drinks throughout the flight.
5) No screaming kids. No, actually make that one screaming kid, though as I was tired I slept through the shrieks!
