As a quick note on British Airways WT+, if you check in online within a minute of it opening (i.e. exactly 24 hours before departure) you can bag a great seat. I flew LHR-LAX a couple of months ago in the front row of WT+. There was a bulkhead facing us and I could stretch my legs right out and only just touch it with my toes. I put my carry-on down in front of me and rested my feet on it and was as comfortable as in my living room with an...

Don't get out The Long Good Friday then!

Help! I'm going to be visiting London for the New Year's Day Parade. While I kinda-sorta like tea, I am a devoted coffee-lover.
