Flight from Chicago to Athens

Airline:

British Airways

Number of Stops:

1 stop in London, England

Date of Flight:

January 2010

Seat Class:

premium

I don't think the few extra inches of "leg room" for Premium was worth the extra money. Service was the same as in Economy class, the attendants just started with Premium section before going on into Economy with the same food and drinks. When you look at the advertising on BA's website, one would think they were getting something a little different as opposed to Economy Class. But, hey, I did get a real glass not plastic in which to pour my wine ... only one, mind you; never mind that when dinner came around very shortly I wasn't offered a fresh glass. And, naturally, the person in front of me almost immediately put his seat back and I had to ask him during mealtime if he could "please" just move his seat back because my tray was "almost" in my lap. You notice I said "almost" as opposed to "definitely" in my lap if I had been in the Economy section which is what I had always traveled in prior to this "one-time splurge." Oh,and another thing: there is no Premium class from London to Athens! I thought I was paying for Premium all the way through to Greece.
