Conclusion
This was not exactly the trip that I had originally planned. I don’t think one single thing went right. Not saying it made the trip horrible but just so much stuff happened that I wish didn’t. Everything in the end worked out though.
Some of my Higlights:
* Delta’s T4 and hanging out with fellow Avgeeks/Travel Bloggers
* Catching up with my friend in New York even if briefly
* Spending 4 hours walking over Manhattan
* Spending time in Vancouver with my friends, just chilling, no stress
Some of the things I would rather forget:
* Almost losing my camera
* Hurrying through New York like a mad man
* Middle Seat… nuff said
* Having to drop 20k points and more money at the last minute
The whole point of this trip though was Cathay First Class. All I can say is WOW! It was amazing! I couldn’t say enough about the crew, Kevin and Angel did a fantastic job. Nothing was to much, they were friendly, engaging, refined, dignified and everything all rolled into one. The food was great (suprisingly) and even though I didn’t get the caviar that would come with a full dinner service, the Lobster… omg the size of that thing just made up for it. I can wait to have caviar onboard first class.
The seat itself was great, so much space, comfort and all the good bits and pieces you want. The amenities onboard were good, I haven’t opened my pyjamas yet as I haven’t had a chance but they will be used!
The overall value of that flight alone is a bargain. I paid $27 for a seat worth $3500! I even got a pair of designer pyjamas probably worth a good $100 or so I would assume, plus a designer amenity kit. Sadly no spoons to add to my collection (I got a couple in the BA lounge) but that isn’t anything I can’t get in the future.
Now it’s time to prepare for the next trip.
