Intercontinental is a weird hotel brand. It is so inconsistent from one location to the next that it's impossible to pin down what exactly the brand stands for and what one can reasonably expect when selecting an Intercontinental hotel.
Clearly a lot of money has been spent on modernising the hotel, since its original opening twenty years ago and service was very much at an international level...

I was planning on flying home from Asia, re-entering the UK after the clocks had switched back to winter time and then planned to fly back two time zones towards Asia, to a city which gets dark at 4pm in the winter months...
I did find the finishes quite plasticky, the seat padding thin and the legroom confined when compared to AY's competitors though. Still, the seat is one of the better offerings from a European airline...
I'm still not convinced that I'd want to fly this for an ultra long haul, as the seats are a little more cramped than on the CX, AA, AF etc equivalents. For a flight to the East Coast of the US this would be more than adequate.
