Business Class Problems

[siglinde99]

I didn’t realize there was a business class lounge in Freetown until a few minutes before departure.  I had been at the airport since around 4:30, waiting for my 8:45 flight (the only boat to the airport was at 4 pm).

In Paris, I was not quite brave enough to go for a facial in the business class lounge. When I finally discovered that the airplane bathroom had Clarins cleanser and toner, I realized I could have been having lots more fun pampering myself all along. I have never purchased Clarins products in my life.

On the flight from Freetown to Paris, I had a lovely reclining seat, with a footrest that I didn’t figure out how to work until the end of the trip. On the flight from Paris to Montreal, my reclining seat was broken. Just as dinner was starting, I asked for help because I could recline, but couldn’t get the seat back into the upright position. I was given the control alt delete instruction – cycle it through a complete recline, and it should engage. That was awkward: stuck lying completely flat, with my open tray table and a glass of champagne above me. I had to move from my preferred window seat to a centre aisle seat, and no easy access to my stack of magazinesL.

Clarins products in the bathroom?! Wow. I've used Clarins and really liked them. Haven't used them in a long time as I am not fond of lots of scents. Lucky you and yes you could have had lots of fun. I usually check everything out when traveling. I think when I first started work as a photographer I created the habit. Back then I would get to my hotel and then locate the store I would be working in. As I oriented myself in the town I would notice places or stores I might want to check out if I had the time. Since I ended up in some of these towns more than once I had lots of opportunity. Some of the western ones I was only in once and there are places I would have gone back to visit.

I know you went for business but what an adventure too!
