Heathrow Hustle: 3 Buses And 95 Minutes Of Terminal Madness to Reach Etihad’s Oasis
I had a 3 hour 50 minute connection at London Heathrow. Normally I’d feel that was interminably long. However I was connecting from British Airways Terminal 5 over to Terminal 4 for Etihad. And it turns out it was much worse than that: three buses and one hour and thirty five minutes from plane to lounge. The good news is that the Etihad London Heathrow lounge is actually pretty good. I just had less time there than I’d expected!

Jet Set Pet Controversy: 3 Kittens Take Over 10 Hour Transatlantic Flight

Then they fed her. Eventually the kittens fell asleep. But the passengers decided to bring out them out to play halfway through the flight because they “low key missed them.” Seven hours into the flight was “a big bathroom break.” OMG they went potty into a tupperware.
Review: British Airways Business Class, Austin – London Heathrow
British Airways business class is very serviceable. The new seat (which won’t be completely installed in their fleet until 2026, despite already being four years into the roll-out) is quite good. The bedding and amenity kits are good. Their main meals are ok, snacks chintzy, and breakfast worth skipping.
Cabin crew are friendly enough, though a bit overwhelmed in the Airbus A350 in particular.
