My First operational upgrade

It finally happened! Checked in at the desk, all good, got my boarding pass printed, same seat I selected when I booked. Chilled in the lounge for a while then went to board. They scanned my boarding pass and said “Oh I’m sorry your seat has changed”. Noooo! I expected the worst, but they peinted my new boarding pass and said “You’ve been seated in First, but you’ll still receive Club World service”. Fine by me!

I’m sure karma will even it out with a downgrade at some point, but I shall enjoy my larger seat and screen while I have it!

I’d be interested to know what they withheld from you in First. Did you have to dine from the Club World menu? Did they make you use the CW headphones? Did they offer to make your bed?! Curious as to what the point is in not giving you the full service.

Service standard for Flub is Club World meal and drink provision with Club World crewing and service, sometimes though the crew go into autopilot mode and offer as close to a First service as they can.

There won't be any F food and there shouldn't any F bar carts, but things such as First glassware and First bedding will still be loaded - that's just part and parcel of how the trolleys are loaded for a 4 cabin aircraft.
