Chinese woman becomes 'world's luckiest passenger' - BBC News
All well and good, but I had the same thing without the Facebook nonsense in October 2013 from MAN to LHR. Great service on BA with lovely staff and loads to eat and drink. Pity it was so short....
Best thing about it was the ability of an empty A319 flying only 200 miles to start the take off run from half way down the runway and lifting off within what felt like a five second ground run. I recall looking out of the window at two heavily laden A330s trundling to the beginning of the runway and thinking "...I wonder if we can overtake those two..." We sure did.
