Sue & I are too old to be flying long haul in economy so we treat ourselves and fly business class.  However on this trip Scott had lots of BA Air Miles so we were able to upgrade to first class.  One of the benefits of flying first class with BA from Terminal 5 at Heathrow is that you have your own check in and security check area.  So it only took five minutes to get through both and into the Concorde Lounge, which certainly beats our experience on our normal holidays to Spain.  All the food and drink is free in the Concorde Lounge: in reality customers have paid for it many times over but it feels like its for free. So we sat down for a nice three course A La Carte lunch during which Scott had four glasses of expensive champagne and Sue two glasses.  I stuck to one glass of orange. Our flight leaves at 4.30pm when no doubt we will be served another meal. I can see why so many business people are overweight. Good job we have lay flat seats so we can go to sleep. We are due to arrive in Beijing at 2.30am UK time, 9.30am Beijing time.
