    The fact that business class evolved so much to the point that this seat isn't considered to be the best in the world is crazy

    My Sister and I fly annually to the UK for two months and always fly with BA Business Class........To date we have never had a problem. The Crews are always friendly and professional. The food......cannot fault it. People who do complain are either nit picking or just very hard to please. If you do not like BA ...............choose another. It is as simple as that. Enjoyed your video and have subscribed. Take Care & stay safe 😊

      @@warzonemoments3970 The seats are very comfortable, room to move, good storage also. We sleep very well when reclined. Just booked our trip for May 2025. Unfortunately the prices have increased but when I read the print out it was the taxes, fees and surcharges that is the killer. The actual ticket prices is acceptable for Business Class.....also we are located in Australia, so any airfare to any location hurts the pocket🙃

    Well done on a good flight trip report. I'm thinking of doing one myself in due course too, And its nice to see a new face on the scene. I wish I did it when I flew LHR-SIN Club Suite last year (first time Club experience). All very nice. I was quite underwhelmed by the Heathrow Galleries lounge quite honestly. It really doesnt feel very special. But, the flight crew were superb so can't ask for much more than that. And the food on board was enjoyable.

    • @IkeTravels
      @IkeTravels  7 місяців тому +1

      You should absolutely do one next time, I love watching peoples travel vids haha. I agree with the Heathrow Galleries Lounge, perhaps i went on the wrong day but i felt it was so unmatched compared to the Virgin Clubhouse and it felt like any other priority pass lounge but slightly bigger and more food options.

    I flew in their club suite last year and I am flying in the club suite again with BA in June. I fly business cos I have anxiety and probably some claustrophobia. BA business seats are sometimes much cheaper than other airlines. I just sleep on the flight. Don't care about what others look for in business class 😂 e.g. food, storage, ac, rude airhostess, bathroom, etc. All I care about is a flat bed. 😅

    I live in Dubai (since 2005), flights that leave from here (EK) are stupidly priced, try Oman Air, they're decently priced, go via a north african city, it's way cheaper.

      Emrates and Qatar are just too expensive (but have better route networks).

      BA gain a lot of profits for seat selections with old club world. That is why is delayed the retrofit for another 5 years to fully complete all fleets. With the new club suite it is hardly any bad seat compared to yin yang horrible seat.

    Only ever had good experiences really with BA Club World and Europe. I really don't know why on board crew get such a bad rap - they've always been lovely to me. Maybe its about how people behave towards them. If you're nice, they will be too? The ground crew - that's a slightly different story. Had some nice ground crew that had to dave me from the laziness and general incompetence of other ground crew. Also BA IT is world class rubbish. Edit: LOL! I've already commented here previously and didnt remember Ive actually seen this video before! :)
