British Airways First & Business Class Sale

I just flew 777 Club World to SEA. This was my first ever business class experience on BA, and it was a huge disappointment..

@theluxurytraveller

Lols - your like a plane/points blogging Alan Partridge.

@Gibbooo

I think Endre just decided to put a little more effort into his satire.

Includes a free pilot strike with purchase.

@BrewerSEA

Nah, I don't think it's Endre. The word 'paid' is not found anywhere.

Lol at “Premium class”, presumably that refers to BA’s pricing of said cabin rather than anything else, because the idea that Club World counts as luxury is hilarious.

Club Suites will at least make it feel like it’s a business class cabin designed this millennium.

@e30st LOL. Im sure everyone who reads this blog can understand agrees.

Just flew in business YYZ to LGA in one of their 777s. The whole junk cabin is falling apart. Dirty seat, no kidding, the bottom right corner of the super tiny monitor was missing, broken off, never repaired. The monitor was so old, you could barely see anything anymore. No wonder they are giving the seats away. It's truly crappy, as far as business class goes.

Ugh, make that LGW. My bad.

Lucky, theluxurytraveller's post should be deleted. Having such blasphemy as the first comment really misrepresents BA in a way that would harm general consumers.

Why don’t you check out the luxurytraveller on Instagram- I think Jarvis knack of gaming the points system for some fricking amazing luxurious escapes sets a high bar.... peanut gallery too quick to judge here!

@JonH

Jarvis is a below-average writer who doesn't provide any information you can't get better elsewhere

Udo,

Gatwick is for leisure flyers and so the standard is lower, and BA has its oldest planes on vacation routes.

Heathrow flights have better planes and higher standards.

Tom,

I'd still rather fly BA CW than J on any US airlines.

In full agreement with Jarvis, the rear facing window seats on a BA club flight is one of the best sleeping seats going. It’s great not to have to put your feet in a box. Sure direct aisle access you be nice but if you can do a sprightly hop, who cares.

To go from 8 across front and back to 8 across with your foot in a box doesn’t win you much except a bit of elbow room, aisle access and storage space.

Sad to see the old club world go.

Surely BA wouldn't encourage people to book during what would be the prime BALPA strike period?

So does this mean they've resolved it?

Any idea what the EQDs would be for these tickets on AAdvantage?

Not sure why so many people dislike BA. I fly Biz most of the time and BA is still one of the best, at least for me. One important factor is that you do not need to sleep in a coffin class so your leg will not be restricted. can you name one other airline which is not coffin class and also provide kind of privacy? PS: Just flew BA11 and best sleep in the air again....

@ Ed even those that can manage a 'sprightly hop' don't like the BA CW seat. I don't want to hop over people and nor do I want other people hopping over me. It's hardly a premium experience these days.

The new cabin will be 4 across not 8 and the seat (excluding the box) is something like 6 foot 6 long so very few people will have their feet in any sort of box.

@ theluxurytraveller - your posts here are just snobbish and unpleasant. I'm certainly not going to up your hit count on instagram or wherever you post your nonsense

My issue with this sale is the lack of cheap fares for solo travellers. I priced up LHR-JFK and it was £1,500. Why should I have to pay almost £500 more just because I fly solo v a couple.

The only first class product I can think of as being as dated as BA is Air India.

But they also price it appropriately. This should be the normal price for BA First current hard product.

Booked!!!!!

So good that i booked 2 round trip tickets from london to dubai from 9th to the 12th

Came to approx £3000

And booked in first class both ways

Wait till you get downgraded on BA to Premuim and refunded 280 euros as compensation! Their argument being they overbooked Business and as I did not hold a frequent flyers card with them was the first to go.
