Prologue:
In case you missed the first leg of my journey and to give you the whole picture you can found the introduction:http://www.youtripreport.com/Report/Flight/106
I?۪m always having troubles to sleep well when I fly early in the morning. That night was no exception.. I took the shuttle at 5am to T2. It took around 15 to 20 minutes since the shuttle dropped passengers in T3 first. After security: [url=https://flic.kr/p/VBVobW][img]https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4213/35193401642_a55fec183d_b.jpg[/img][/url]
At check-in. The agent was surprised about my long journey.. The good thing in Cairo when you fly early is not really crowded. I arrived at the counter for check-in. I was handed the 3 boarding pass. I noticed that my BA flight BP does not have my FFP on it but it was on my QR flights. Go figure. The agent tried to put my Gold card but failed to update it. Surprisingly the Purser had my record on its PIL. Nevertheless I had to claim my missing avios and TP! The laptop ban is just a big pain for me and a non-sense
I proceed to the lounge. Nothing to write about. I only like the view.
The newspapers.
Saudia leaving.
The B787 at the gate and: At 7:10 I made my way to the gate since you have extra security which was a pain. Like some I have 2 phones
The boarding gate.
My seat is located in the second Business Class cabin. Good for me
My seat is rear facing the cabin. Why Am I taking that seat ? For the view.... outside.
See I told you!
The IFE is fine with more than 40 movies in French. The flight was not full in business with 6 seats available when the doors closed. Boarding was completed by 7:46am. I thought that we would leave on time.. Nope
If you want to control your seat
Pushback.
The menu for today's fllight
What's inside the kit ?
Right after take off.
Someone is sleeping like a baby...
I was not hungry and wanted to remain ???light? for my upcoming QR flights. The salmon was tasty and so were the fruits. I?۪m always puzzled by the lack of salt and pepper shaker. Instead they give you a small bag of each.
I need a nap. It was time to catch up on my sleep. I slept for 1H30.
Someone is happy to think about the next flights...
"The City" as we approached LHR.
========== Cairo Intl Arpt (CAI) - ==========
========== First Class Lounge T2 ==========
========== British Airways - Airline ==========
========== Heathrow (LHR) - ==========
Summary:
One world about the Purser. He was outstanding. I sent a mail to BA to congratulate him. When a good work is done greatly, it must be acknowledged. It’s always nice to receive a positive feedback about your service.We deplaned at 12:15pm. I have time before my next fight and I can enjoy the lounge. Nope.
Remember, I told you about my checked in luggage. It’s something I never do. Back in Cairo I told the agent to check-in my luggage only to LHR. With a day flight I can work from the plane thanks to the wifi. I also prepared my TRs.
First thing, immigration, I used to E-gate but my passport did not let me through… so I made the short line and I ran to the belt number 8. At 12:35 the first bags arrived at 12:50, we were still waiting some (all with the priority tag came at the end…), It was eventually delivered at 13:10.
LHR is pain to transit after immigration.
I took the bus 490 to Terminal 4 at 1:19pm.
Next part: QR Lounge in LHR + QR to Doha
