Only me in the front cabin - Zone A with 4 CC to look after me - About 50 down the back and just one pax on the UD.
Bliss - loved watching flying up over Africa, the Sahara etc being wait on hand and foot -
On descent over the Channel the winter night sky was clear as a bell and the whole of the South Coast was visible in the front of the Jumbo via the windows both sides, from
Bournemouth to Beachy Head
Lived in Cape Town for 22 years and VS gold card holder for 10 of them, don't remember a 400 ever doing the route.
