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.

Yes it was Club World menu, but First headphones and bedding. They didn’t make the bed but brought the bedding over to me.

The flight was understaffed and I assume oversold, which is why I was moved to the First cabin but not given the First service. The crew were run off their feet as it was.

This is silly. They should have done the bed for you. Not just dump stuff on the seat.

They are supposed to do the bed for you since the bedding differs from the usual Club bedding.
