We Flew to London in Business Class

In June we dropped the kids off with their grandparents and we took a 3 week trip to the UK. It was fantastic! To start off, we ended up in with business class tickets. The first benefit was that we got to use the American Airlines lounge at O'Hare airport while waiting for our flight, where we had our pick of breakfast items and comfortable chairs. And once we got on the flight the perks kept coming.

 
(Every day while gone we sent an email back home, so for the sake of simplicity, we'll for the most part just be using the text from the emails here with a few pictures.)

Email from June 7:

We're at the hotel here near Heathrow. We walked off the tube to rain and thunder and lightning, but fairly warm and muggy. We were on the second row of a 767 with fully reclining seats. They gave us tablets with movies to watch with Bose noise cancelling headphones. It seemed like they were constantly bringing us food all day. We had a delicious strawberry rhubarb gallette for brunch and ravioli for dinner and a bunch of stuff in between, all of it restaurant quality. Even the mixed nuts were served warm in a glass dish. We may never have such a comfortable flight again!
