First Class Flights - so excited!

DH and I have worked really hard over the last year to take control of our finances and make our money work for us.
One of the things we did was take out a credit card with Avios points as I already had a fair chunk of points from previous work travel and we pay off the card every month.

We have just managed to book first class return flights to New York! I can't believe it. I never in my life thought I'd be able to fly in first class. I've done business through work but quite a long time ago now - pre covid.

I'm just so excited - I have a rough idea what to expect; different check in and security, lounge, big comfy seats - but what else?!

It's London to New York, British airways.
Tips to get the absolute best experience please!

It's what @Ferro says..

Once upon a time you'd have odd instances of pretty much the whole of F class being bought out by an individual to accomodate themselves plus entourage.

These days that cohort increasing travel on their own business jet.

Yes I’ve seen that a few times.
