Enjoy
The first time you try it it's absolutely brilliant. The lounge at Heathrow is wonderful. Then you'll have a great time at the bar on the plane and in your massive comfy seat with its electric slidey buttons. You won't want to sleep. You'll be amazed that the stewardesses actually know how to smile, and you'll be blown away by how friendly and chatty they are.

On your return you'll look forward to the flight. You'll now start to remember that you're on a plane but you'll be pathetically happy that you're not back in Economy. You've got a taste of the good life now. You'll enjoy turning left at the boarding door and you'll start to think, "hmm, this is definitely for me. I work hard!" You'll want to sleep and it's brilliant - a stewardess makes your bed for you, a bit like when your best friend's young, fit blonde mum made up a camp bed for you when you stayed over his house when you were twelve and you got a funny feeling in your pants.

Be warned though: your next trip in economy will be fifty times worse than it ever was before you tasted Upper Class.

I can imagine economy being the pits after Upper Class
which is why I wouldn't settle for anything less then Premium Economy which only costs a few hundred quid more on any future flights I take. It's what I flew on my last trip to Japan and it gives a taster of what to expect with Upper Class (seats with lumber support, decent menu, couple of free alcoholic drinks, stewardesses that half smile).
