Or even "Another AAirline" - BA and AA have a joint business agreement to NYC and other key US destinations. So for no price premium you can take AA instead, using, in ascending order of Business seat quality, a 767-300, A330, 777-200, 787, or 777-300 (which is a wonderful aircraft). There's no compelling reason to fly with BA in this case. Disappointing to see that even when BA get their A350s they won't be revamping the product significantly. Nice video as always Dennis.

Thanks mate, yeah I flew back to London from Dallas on an AA 777 - review should be ready next week. Then flew back down to Cairo on the BA 787-9 - that one should be ready in a couple of weeks. Can't see why anybody would choose to fly BA long haul - these seats are really like hotel rooms with no powerpoints near the desk - they make no practical sense and just piss off regular traveller who want convenience and practically above anything else.

The club world seats are indeed dated and most frequent flyers know this. I'm not a big fan of them myself and don't love flying backwards for my window seat. The hard product is 17 years old now and a few more modern direct aisle access designs have been floated around and will probably come in on their A350s. But other than that it's not a great seat. Another excellent and informative video.

But I cringed when I saw the configuration of these seats. Almost 10 hour flight facing a complete stranger or having to awkwardly raise the partition which will be even more awkward for service from the flight attendants during the flight. CRAZY!

5:25 See this is the difference between airlines like BA and the Middle East carriers such as Emirates/Etihad and Qatar. The Middle East carriers would NEVER serve your cashew nuts/peanuts/mixture in a sealed bag with your drink in business class. It would always be served in a bowl/plate. Now that you also have to pay for food/drink on short haul European BA flights, the airline is really going down hill. Sad to see BA standards drop. They will never be the great airline they used to be known for. Thanks as always Dennis, love and look forward to your reviews!

My family and I flew BA business class 3 months ago from LAX to LHR. I drew an aisle seat and have to say it was the most uncomfortable flight I have ever had in any business class. Always bumped by stewards and other travellers, impossible seat to sleep in. cushions too thin, terrible storage and my foot rest was broken. The service and the food were very good but did not make up for the horrible seats and configuration that must be replaced soon. American show BA up in business class and premium economy and BA should learn a lesson from their partners. Thank goodness we had all been upgraded on check in and I didn't have to pay for these seats. That said our boys were comfortable enough in the centre seats and slept all the way.

I hate it when they put 110V 60Hz BS 1363 sockets on airlines. @4:00 Granted, *most* power bricks these days take 100-240V with no problems, but older ones, cheaper ones, or things without a power brick that are expecting 240V might either not work or even worse, fry your device. Usually it's only too much power that will fry a device, but some equipment can be damaged by low voltage. Further, British devices are expecting 50Hz, so again, if you don't have a 100-240V 50-60Hz powered device, this can fry your device. Use a 110V 60Hz style outlet for 110V 60Hz power and use a 240V 50Hz style outlet for 240V 50Hz power! If you know your device can run on both, just carry the proper adapters. Having a plug where anyone can plug in the wrong thing is a bad idea!

I flew BA Business class on the 777 and the A380 and honestly it was my first long haul Business class flight , but if you are comparing it to Economy it is way better. Flying backwards is odd but not an issue at all you dont feel a sensation of going backwards when flying, I will admit that facing someone you dont know is awkward until someone has the guts to put up the divider. I had the window seat which was nice and private, but as Dennis said the aisle is the polar opposite. There is zero privacy. I like that they serve meals on fine china branded with BA logo, and I like the boarding British royal type music also and the crew was pretty much great..One thing would disagree with you Dennis, is that I didnt think the lie flat bed was comfortable. It was a little cramped and BA doesnt provide you with any blankets or bedding besides a pillow..All in all I would say It is a big disappointment for a frequent business class traveler, but for someone who usually flies coach its not terrible.

What? That's not true at all. These seats are much newer than the first lie flat seats, you can tell because of the forward and backward facing seats, which are a relatively recent "innovation".

You can see them here: www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2606873/How-First-Class-travel-British-Airways-changed-past-40-years.html The seats in this video are a symptom of the airlines' constant pressure to cram more people in each service level, usually at the expense of customer comfort.

I dont get it. People have a problem with facing other passengers right, but not gonna lie its not that bad. I actually met some really cool people when they lowered that thing. In fact on one of them we never lowered it down at all. We pretty much chatted for the entite 7 hour flight which im sure nuisanced a lot of the other passengers. Still, its not that bad, and if you cant face the ordeal of looking at someone face to face then you need to get your priorities straight.

Flew on an identical window seat BA 744 last August and I can attest it was exactly as described here. Food was good to superb, the seat was comfortable but impractical. Privacy for window seat, but being cut off from the rest of the plane felt a little like being trapped in a claustrophobic cargo compartment. There is no possible need for the snack bar given all the food they give you. Not mentioned: if your neighbor is sleeping, you have to climb over his foot rest to get out, which could be quite challenging. All in all I agree with this review, but as an infrequent biz flyer I was just really grateful to not be in coach. FAs extremely professional, courteous.

Typical whinging Aussie. If it's not one thing, it's something else. Club World is not the best nor is it the worst. It makes tonnes of money for BA and their lounges are great. You can't compare BA or any other western airline with the middle east carries because companies like BA don't get massive state tax incentives and cheap, immigrant labour to work their business. I know, I worked out in that chintzy dust bowl. So, BA and all the other western airlines are still damn good.

I was one hour away from booking British Airways, London to JFK. I'm glad I found this. I chose Aer Lingus. Primarily because I can go through Pre-Clearance in Dublin, and not have to worry about customs in New York. Plus, I know I will have a seat facing the front. :-) The seats on BA don't look like what I would like to sit in.

My wife and I treated ourselves to business class to St Lucia a few months ago, my 65th, and big wedding anniversay. I'd been lucky enough to do Air France to, and KLM home from Texas a few months before and I had been building up biz class so much. I could not believe the 777 2-4-2 layout. AF and KLM were both 1-2-1. The crew were smashing but I felt so sorry for them having to straddle passengers to serve the other passengers a tray with a meal on. I so adored St Lucia but the flight is really putting me off a return visit. I agree, whoever signed it off was clearly in the pay of another airline! So sad.

I flew A777 from LHR Club World to Bangkok Jan. 2018. Seats were very different to this. Didn't have to face anyone. Fab flight... 12 hours of bliss! Thanks for your upload. Best wishes to you Dennis.

It's easy to whinge about these seats now, but you have to remember that when these seats were introduced 17 years ago, they were revolutionary. They were the first fully-flat bed in business class, and they were conceived in a time before ubiquitous laptops, iPads, and sophisticated in-flight entertainment systems. BA's business class cabin now seems outdated, but they're not going to invest a ton of money into a new business class cabin on the 747s which are realistically nearing the end of their working lives. As a traveler who values sleep above all else on a flight, I still find the BA seat very comfortable, and the window seats are very private. If you get a window seat on the upper deck, you're in heaven -- plenty of seat-side storage space and nice surface to stick all your gear. It's a great place to be, and the service is top-notch.

Be happy you had the upgraded seats and screens. Just flew their 747 which still had old seats (no USB charging..) and screens (dating from the 80s it seems..) However, I did fly upperdeck, where you have a lot of storage space at the window seats and much more privacy.

This seat was made back in 1999, when it truly was revolutionary. When it came out, it was the first fully flat bed in Business Class, so, compared to what other airlines were offering, it *was* amazing. Now, it's 2017, nearly 2 *decades* on from when the first Club World seats came out. BA hasn't done anything significant to their J product, while other airlines have massively stepped up their game, leaving BA far behind.

Couldn't agree more, terrific, honest, unbiased review. Having flown BA First a couple of times on miles I was shocked when I got into one of their Club World seats, again using miles. Everything you say is spot on. useless drawer at the floor that one has no access to when the bed is down or the tray table in use and nowhere else for storage. What am I supposed to do with my glasses? Or laptop or tablet or phone or headphones!! Can't exactly cuddle any of them like a water bottle! and leaving the tray down when sleeping is a total non-starter. This is a shockingly bad product but it would seem that whilst BA keep filling them they won't change. Great review!

You are totally bang on with this review ! I am so happy someone else has pointed these points out ! I was in an isle seat on my last flight LH to SFO and having someone leaning over passing food was extremely annoying ! The staff review was great as these guys can only work with what they are given. Cheers for the review mate
