BA Business Class to Cairo

At T-60 or so, I headed downstairs to another convenient departure gate, A18 which is the closest possible gate to the Lounges.

And finally, off to Cairo on the last leg of my pretty amazing Cairo-Honolulu roundtrip.  Unfortunately, today on a BA 788.  It may be a newish plane, but it's the same old BA Business Club cabin configuration and seats... one of the worst in the skies.   But at less than $200, hard to beat.

Ugh...

And one of the dumbest seating arrangements ever.  Yeah, let's stare right at your neighbor.  

Today's menu...

The BA Club World amenity kit...

Lovely.  LOL.

Despite the awful hard product, service was excellent today, notably from our wonderful forward cabin FA Mohammed. 

Showtime, BA Club World style.

My smoked salmon starter was very nice.  Loch Fyne smoked salmon with truffle yuzu dressing and avocado.

For my main, the Grilled chicken supreme with handmade potato gnocchi, rosemary cream sauce and ratatouille.  

Delicious.

Once again, the BA soft product was excellent.  But the BA hard product is just plain awful and not enough to make me want to willingly fly BA... except at a very cheap price.
