REVIEW: BA First Class, London to New York JFK
A pre-Christmas flight to JFK, upgraded with Avios, onboard my least favourite BA plane, was perfectly fine. Yes, ‘fine’.

Part 4 looks at the Concorde Room Card, and briefly at Premier status.
Over Thanksgiving I shall be travelling 18,000 miles to Honolulu and back.
Coming back from JFK recently I had dinner in the Concorde Room and wanted to post the menus and pics. It was one of…

British Airways operates a lounge at JFK accessible only if you are flying First Class (or have a special card from BA). They have a sit down restaurant, and this is July’s offerings.
In a week when United gave up on JFK – who can remember when they used to fly to London three times a day? – I have a short review of AA’s offering on a recent LAX to JFK flight.
After an early morning faff around with my ticket I had 12 hours on USAirways to look forward to, travelling from New York to Honolulu. The review covers the seats, meals and service of the two flights connecting in Phoenix.
The best laid plans can blow up when an airline makes even a modest schedule change. A trip in August (which I have had booked since November) imploded when a one minute shortfall in connecting times caused AA to drop the rest of my flights. Catching it in time, and having a plan about how I wanted it fixed, saved a lot of grief and a shed load of Tier Points.
Sometimes passengers surprise you. It’s just this trip that they did this in a bad way. Was I threatened by one passenger with revenge for not allowing her to sit with her friend, and why did another demand to know if I smoked. It’s the incredible weirdness of travel, at least that is what I am telling myself.
The BA1/2/3/4 service from London City to JFK has had some bad reliability problems recently and yesterday suffered from double cancellations when London City developed a crack. Back on time today, somehow the delays have rolled right past today and on to tomorrow. Of course I am on the flight that already is two hours late. The word from BA? Silence.
