64B!

To those people who not know what the excitement about 64B means - it is like the best seat on biz class on BA.

And some consider upper deck to be even better than first class. So Nicole, business must be going great if you can fly business class and sip nicely champange in the lounge and blog from there?

Well, kind of. ;) I did intent to fly Word Traveller Plus on BA which has two major charming attributes: You can (if available) upgrade for 25000 miles to Biz (and othere than some American Airlines Biz means something nice on BA), and they have bigger seats.

I don't really care about the food, champagne or wine or anything, but I do care about the seats. Did I mention that BA Biz has true flat bads? Now, how did I get this one?

I was early at the airport, looking at the dreadful long line for economy checkin and waited 40 minutes for being checked in. Looking longingly to the Club world counter from which I can check in next time, because after these mere two flights I am silver status on BA. :)

So when she finished my checkin, the nice lady told me that " Vincent is going to meet me" hmmm. And Vincent was so nice to give me a shiny new ticket with the famous 64B on it. And I don't even need to check in with 'the plebs'. I love upgrades. ;))

  2. I have not tried out flying ‘backwards’ and as I do have problems with that, I rather not try it. “Best seat” mainly said here as a “upper deck is so much nicer”

    I am always amazed by how people tell you “near of lavatory might be bothering – there are only 10 people up there! :)))

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in (micro) blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst. Recently I have finished the German Twitter book and will specialize a bit in 2009 on this topic as well as building more bridges between communities.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.



Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
