I'm off to Vancouver tommorrow out of Heathrow on a BA 747-400. Being a lowly paid servant of HM forces, we could only afford economy. I checked in tonight and got a pair of seats down the back near to the exit... I'm happy enough with that to be honest.
Thing is, a relative (BA employee) has said he can maybe try and get us an upgrade, and he keeps going on about the possibility of being "upstairs" (i.e. the upper deck). What on earth is on the upper deck on a 747? Is it basically the next level up (Is it world traveller or club traveller or something?) or are they all just in front of economy?
I know it's not the really good stuff, as that's in the front of the main deck!
What are the chances of a BA employee getting to upgrade his brother in law?
As I say, I'm perfectly happy with my seats and I'm looking forward to my first BA flight in many years, so don't see it as me being on the scrounge! He offered, I'm not that bothered. I just wondered.
PS: What are the seats down the back like? (row 52)
