Coach

I read most of the trip. We where slightly nervous due to the connection in JFK. Scheduled arrival was 8.20pm at T8 and
our BA flight left at 22.40 from T7. Too much of a delay from ATC or in immigration would make it tight.
It worked out perfectly. Touched down ahead of schedule with a looooong taxi and 10 min wait due to traffic.
Parked at the very far end of T8 so another 10 min walk to immigration which was empty though.
Priority bags worked nicely. Up to Airtrain for the short hop to T7. We made it for 9pm.

Sector 7:
JFK-LHR BA182
22.40pm B747-400
Seat 29A
WT+

JFK T7 yet again impressed me. Best BA station there is. Some quick Tax Free shopping and a salad before heading up to Terraces.
Avoided Gold section altogether. Flight was called and it was very busy. We made ourselves 'comfortable' in the rock hard WT+ seats.
I slept most of the way, without the help of pills. Arrived in good time and used FC successfully.
Mrs Petrus passed/slept out in GF due to tiredness and of course pregnancy. She was in her 12th week at this point.
Before this we made use of the shower facilities. I then had lunch, champagne and some wine etc.
3 hours went by quickly. I really very much like T5!

As usual and each time I'm around there's a sing sling whale

And also an aussie this time

Sector 8:
LHR-ARN BA780
1.50pm B767-300
Seat 3D
Club Europe

NOT CHECKED IN. Well that's a nice ending to the trip. Op-upped again. Mrs Petrus was fast a sleep while I had some lunch.
No champagne as I would be driving later on.

Mustique is highly recommended if you want privacy and luxury. The place is as pretty as any island in the West Indies.
However, you pay for the privacy. It is worth it. We had a fantastic time and the staff at our Villa where brilliant. Almost like a family.
We're going back next year with Petrus no 3 (if everything goes well). The chef demanded we come back so she can nanny
our baby.
