Prologue:

Back to English for the flight back to LHR with MH. After my flight with RH and a night at Le Meridien linked to KL station, I left at 4:30 am to arrive by 5 in the airport.

I was really looking forward to my trip with MH. Since the A380 will be replaced from next month to the A350, it was my last opportunity to try the First Class on the A380 before I try myself the new First on the A350.

I booked the trip for 140k avios and 120e. While MH operates 2 flights per day, I booked the morning flight to have 2 meal courses instead of 1 and breakfast, also on the night one, you spend most of your time sleeping.

The only issue with the morning flight is the lounge offer which I expected to be kinda poor versus lunch and dinner later in the day.

Did I make the right call ? Let's find out.

Prior to my flight I got a mail from MH asking me if I want to pick my main course and got the following choices. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention and postponed my call to the point I completely forgot… A mistake ?

Summary:

I don't know where to start:
The lounge is being renovated which is a long overdue. It was my first visit in the morning. I won't say anything about the choices since I did not pick any.
The staff was great as always.

The flight:
Fantastic crew from both the pilots and FA.
My biggest disappointment came from the meals. Clearly far from First Class aside from the caviar.
If you have a FC ticket, you'd better off ordering from the menu given prior to your flight.

Thanks for reading.
