So I finally convince my company to let me join the high flyers club. Or at least thats what I thought.
570 euro for a return London to Brussels!!!! thats 570!!! as apposed to the 170 euro return. what does an extra 400 euro buy you?
MY DREAM
So I was expecting champaign, my own butler, a private spa, my own waiting area, gold cups with diamond encrusted plates, 5star cheffs at my beckon call, red carpet with rose petals as I walk accross the floor, being picked up by a custom rolls royce with a celebritiy of my choice or picked up in a helicopter and land on the roof, and of course not forgetting lots and lots of free chocolate!
THE REALITY
No que to check in, so big smile on my face, but then customs que, which was about 6 people long. Pretty much same as in economy! Then passport control, again same as economy :(
Then your thrown into the same lounge area as economy :( But then i notice the business class lounge on the right side in London. Ooooh! Finally heaven! But all it is is actually a much smaller waiting area with free orange juice and small bakery choice which isnt for everyones choice.
Thats it. No red carpet, no helicopter, no private spa, NOTHING! None of my dreams came true on the business class absolutely NOTHING!!!!! I was so pissed.To be honest its more comfortable sitting in the economy lounge because you have more choice of seat type and they all much bigger seats. You have more food choices and a selection of shops. So I struggle to wonder why do they charge so much money for business class? Because it certainly is not for the service.
the extra 400 euro buys you NOTHING. basically. Think of it this way, you arrive at the eurostar, there is a que infront of you of 10 people, would you say oh here is 400 euro so I can skip this que? The reality is your all getting on the same train and you will all go through the same customs control.
