What A Start!

  Quito, Ecuador
Friday, January 5, 2007

        After my uneventful flight from Heathrow & the transfer, I arrived at the gate in Madrid a little late as usual to find I had unknowingly been upgraded to Business Class  flying to Quito, Ecuador . It was for no particular reason except that economy was overbooked, maybe having frequent flyers helped them choose me, I'm not sure - bloody excellent service from Iberia, unlimited wine , Baileys etc, 4 course meal with proper cutlery & linen napkins, it took a while to work out the complex seat controls which included fully relining & a back massage feature, but I soon managed it  !!!!! a good start eh, but it got even better....
