“Confirmed first class” — the happiest words a business traveller can hear!

Singapore – London is one of the busiest air routes in the world, with limited capacity between the two cities. I’ve been desperately trying to get home for a long weekend in London but have not had much joy — there were 27 people reportedly ahead of me on the business class waitlist.

With some arm-twisting back at the office, I managed to get our MD to approve travel in first class — which was also booked solid. So I went onto another waitlist.

But all’s well that ends well — after several days on the waitlist I’ve finally cleared into a first class seat and will be back on my way to the UK in time for the weekend!
