Have you seen the movie called The Terminal with Tom Hanks as the guy who is trapped in an airport and has to live there? That's what we have been doing -- for 2 days we haven't been outside of an airport or a plane. Luckily it hasn't been much of a hardship with those First Class perks. Our longest stopover was in Frankfurt, Germany, where we had to wait 6 or 7 hours for the overnight flight to Singapore.
The First Class Lounge offered all the comforts of home, including spa-like rooms to have a shower --I can't tell you how refreshing it was! One room even had a bathtub complete with a little yellow rubber duck. I really wanted to take that home for Dorothee. Maybe I will on the way back. They also offered private rooms where you could catch a nap, which we both did. You could either request a wake-up call, or take advantage of the huge digital clock on the wall of your room so you wouldn't sleep too long and miss your flight.
The Lounge had a large selection of magazines and newspapers, but only a limited number were in English. There was a TV of course, but we spent more time using the free internet to set up our blog and make the first entries. The time went by pretty quickly, and I didn't even mention the continuous buffet of free (fancy) food and drinks. We haven't had to buy anything to eat since we left home! Then it was time to board the 747 to Singapore, where the first class passengers were on the upper level. The journey continues.....
Sooooo posh!
