You keep saying "we", is it a friend or a "friend"? :) That looks awesome flying business class. The whole experience sounds amazing! It reminds me of the end of The Wedding Singer where Billy Idol takes over the plane and says first class passengers get to basically do whatever they want!
I hope you have an awesome time. It sounds like it is already going much better than that previous VISA trip you took.
hahaha, I was thinking about the Billy Idol scene in Wedding singer multiple times during our 3 stints in business class. They really do just kind of let you do whatever the hell you want up there. On our last leg we kept our seats in the reclined position during landing and the flight attendants didn't say anything to us.
Wow, that is pretty impressive. We were just on a flight and my seat wasn't even back a millimeter and the lady was asking me to move it forward. I was like I never moved it back, so it has to be upright already. Turns out it was a fraction of an inch and she could tell!
This scenario has happened to me before as well. I tend to not ever recline my seat out of respect for those behind me anyway so I was completely unaware that my seat was reclined at all. Maybe you and I are so big that we accidentally reclined it just by being heavy.
Yeah, I am the same way. I would never dream of putting my seat back just out of respect, so I was absolutely flabbergasted when they asked me to move mine up.
