Sweet Dreams

British Airways is offering its Bermudian customers the chance to receive a free upgrade to First class on a flight from Bermuda to London.

The catch? Between now and the end of the year you need to make one transatlantic round trip in business class, be unhappy with the sleep you get, and complete a straightforward online survey of six questions explaining why.

As someone who flew Club World to London for the first time last month (hey, I was on honeymoon), I can attest to how great BA's flat beds are. But there seems to be little to discourage those who get a good night's sleep from saying that they didn't, just to claim the upgrade. Other than the initial Club World return fare being over $4000, I suppose.

Not to mention the worry that you might arrive at the check-in desk to find that your flight's been cancelled.

So me get this right --you flew Bussiness Class over to the UK ..because of the bed....and you did'nt get any sleep because it was your honeymoon and Cabin Service kept interupting you !? What were you doing exactly Phil? ^..^

Phil,

I don't suppose that you found out about this lovely deal from a very helpful BA rep whilst you were queing for a Virgin flight, did you?

Did you say $4000? Am I the only one on this rock that feels hopelessly bankrupted just thinking of a late summer hop across the pond?
