      About the flights not being long enough to enjoy meals, amenities, and sleep as well: I've flown "backwards" in order to connect to a longer flight for this reason. Then I just pray for no tailwind!
      The best is to live on the west coast of the United States: good flight length to Europe or Asia. Presuming you are flying upper class of course. Otherwise it's hell. So I'm told 🙂

      The kindness and hospitality offered by owners/managers of pubs and B&Bs helps make one's stays particularly pleasant and fun, even without luxury. I have happy memories of stays around the UK. One night was spent in a family owned castle that took in guests ... we were invited to join the family for tea. Nothing fancy, but we were regaled with great stories and the history of the place. Our room was a bit dank and chilly, the shower water just tepid, but what an experience, thanks to our hospitable hosts who also joined us at breakfast and took us for a tour of the place and it's grounds. We were there a bit off season and the only guests that night, which may explain the personal touch, but it was much appreciated.

    My late father in law laid the first airstrip both in Abu Dhabi and in Doha during the second World War . He was with the royal Engineers and planes returning from the far east theatre had nowhere to land and risked crashing if out of fuel , so airstrips were created in both places. Employing local workmen , he was alone carrying out both tasks and spoke of being guarded by the men of the local Sheikh bearing scimitars . This was of corse before the discovery of oil and the Sheikh lived very modestly .

      I would report that man to Customer Services. It is shocking to pay all that 💰💰💰💰 and then to be treated like that. No engaging with the customer or weather discussion pleasantries. No eye contact or walking at the pace that suits the client. He walked sloppy too and dragged his feet as he approached the handover. Admittedly, he probably does this walk 30 times a day, but that's no excuse. It's the job he signed up for. Yeap, that would definitely be a complaint from me.

    It is a lovely feeling checking into First Class . You feel so privileged and special as though you are the only one . Then you think of all the others travelling First and no you are not the only one . I imagine the cost is now prohibitive from about ten years ago . I remember back in the day how nice Singapore , Emirates and Virgin Airline lounges were and the food .

    I'm a bit shocked too, so much to take in! For that kind of money I would have expected to be driven in a buggy of some kind across the airport rather than walking, but apart from that it was amazing. If I had the money I would do it, but it would have to be for much longer than 6 hours!

    For the level of service you received, bar the shower not working and the shoddy tile, I think 5K in sheer luxury for 6 hours + your VIP lounge is really good value. I mean, you know you've paid for the economy fliers on that flight right? If I had the money, I definitely would, but much like you thought I'd get a longer flight so I could really enjoy it! (This coming from someone who has only ever flown cattle class!)

    If I was in the position to be able to pay that sort of price for the flight as a treat, I'd rather put the money towards having a top hotel stay in the destination I was travelling too rather than putting it on the flight. If money was no object though, then of course I'd do this - it looks amazing. 4 people crouching in the shower is a little disturbing, but the free tap of Champagne would overcome most of my anxieties.
