When we arrived at The First Wing (TFW), we found it fairly quiet. We had received an email from BA advising of changes being made to TFW and the First Lounge. So, we were quite interested to find out what they were changing.

We haven't been back to Washington DC for years, so we decided it was time for another visit. Following the debacle of the BA Executive Club demolition, we decided to blow some Avios and a Companion Voucher.

We agreed to get up at 7am to help move our bodies with the moving time zone - I’ve just got up at 6:30am so I will see what sort of response I get from Vick in 30 mins!

We took one 5mg tablet of melatonin last night and we both felt the effect early in the morning - we both felt drowsy around 2am, but still found it difficult to turn our brains off.
