If you get to the airport early enough, the lounges are really well located to be sure you can grab a bite to eat and then get to your gate.
MeganFlew with Iberia-Sep 2024
Pack light and know you can always get stuff when you land.
SimonFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
If flying business class I’d research which cabin your aircraft operates. BA have some old business class on the 380 and new business class on the 777. (And 350). The new cabin is so much better. But the food just isn’t as good as it used to be
