British Airways new Business Class

Travelin' Man · 02-05-2002, 12:08 PM

Anyone out there like it? I am going to give it a try soon and wondered how it compares to their old club world seats. Of course, their first class seats kick booty!

Not sure if I like having to face the aft of the plane or having to look at the guy next to me for 9 hours.

It's great!!! Those flat beds kick ***! Makes me wonder why anybody pays for first class. Sadly I hate flying Business unless it's an upgrade, because the only time I get a true business class ticket is to sweeten me up for an absolute nightmare and pig of an assignment ha ha ha

Wow, these seats are superb. Took it on one of my leisure holiday flights from Singapore to London to meet up with my girlfriend and it is excellent. I enjoyed the flight very much. Flat bed and thank god, I am facing forward. I hate facing the aft part of the aircraft. Feels like I am flying backwards to London. Hee hee...... Anyways, I liked the seats and had a great time talking to this guy, though a stranger before the flight, we ended up friends after the 12 hour adventure. So hope you get a guys who is friendly and chirpy. Plus one without any foot odour. Cos your face is at his feet, even though a huge divider separates you and your "neighbour".

Crew were excellent and very friendly. And we even chatted for about one hour or so during the lull period and shared work experience. (I am an SIA crew) And we even changed email address so that maybe we can meet up some day in London or in Singapore. Some of the friendliest cabin crew I have ever met. Warm, friendly and professional.

Hope you will enjoy your adventure Travelin' Man...... I certainly did and pray for a good "neighbour".

Sometimes having a the person next to you can make or break a flight. I always enjoy flying first or business class, mostly because you tend to meet interesting people, and sometimes a celebrity at that.

Thanks for the info, will give a full report on my experience.
