Fine but slip a bit of humour in there and not so monotone. Sex it up ! Everyone else does.
@@zakelwe Why should he? It's a flight review, not a comedy show.
@@timmay444 It sounds like it's being narrated by an AI. In fact the voice seems very familiar.
Excellent. I’m off business class in October to the US. Can I ask flying business can you access all the lounges at Heathrow prior to departure or is the Gallery specifically for BA clients?
@@davidmorley2615 Thanks. The Gallery lounge is open to anyone with One World status. However BA is the only airline that flies from Terminal 5, so you’d need to be flying with them to use it. If you are in Terminal 3, there are a host of (better) One World lounge available.
Really appreciate the calm narration with All aspects of your flight especially seat diagrams and terminal diagrams including runway info. Excellent job indeed. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the comment 🙏
I really appreciate your video. You occupied a seat I'm actually assigned to in an upcoming overseas August flight. Talk about a great perspective! Thank you.
Thank you for an excellent video! Traveling Club World on British Air for the first time next week and it's good to know some of the basics so I don't make my first time so painfully obvious. I also appreciate your design of the video. So many other videographers offer way too many views of the author (especially while they're chewing their meal - yuck), you get to the basics and deliver the information - well done! Looking forward to future videos!
A well-presented review. It was factual and supported by appropriate video.
Thank you 🙏
Your videos are really clear. I travelled alone recently and your step by step guide was so useful and made me feel really safe! THANK YOU.
Thank you for the positive feedback. It’s really appreciated 🙏
Very nice review! I’m doing BA Business Class Austin - London on A350-1000 in September and this seems to be the same product. Very much looking forward to the trip. 👍
Absolutely great video!!
Thank you 🙏
Taking this exact flight in early February, I also have a seat in the small cabin, so it was good to see what that is like, glad to see the service is back to pre-covid on long haul
Thanks for watching. Have a great flight!
A very enjoyable and informative upload. Many thanks 👍 Awesome audio 😉
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Up until the dreaded lockdowns started I used B.A. Club World on my regular long haul. Apart from the old layout which wasn’t as good as most other major airlines I never had any complaints, service, food and overall comfort were all excellent. However I’ve since switched to KLM/AF. Although this involves a stopover (fairly short - Amsterdam or Paris) en route to London, the product is of a very high standard with the bonus of a more competitive price. I always thought once B.A. rolled out their new Business class they would hike the price and sure enough they have, so it’s no more B.A. for me.
I’m flying in 2024 so the review was very helpful. Thanks
I like the fact you were respectful and not film the crews safety demo. Great video. New subscriber here.
Thank you 🙏
I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the club suites during my trip to JFK both ways, I can say I slept rather comfortably on the way back
from premium? nice
Enjoyed the review. Just the right pace and you gained a clear overall view of BA Club World. Maybe choose a slightly slower music theme (is that the right language?). Enjoyed the review and will look forward to future ones. 😃
Thanks for watching, and for the feedback - appreciated 🙏
Enjoyable review and the music's style and tempo I found was great. ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Lovely job on the review, I'm looking forward to trying this product very soon though I'm gonna be on a bit of an unusual route for the BA 777. Flying from LHR to Berlin 😂
Thanks. Have fun on your flight!
Taking this flight (Club World LHR to LAX) next month. Looking forward to it!
Thanks for watching! have a great flight 😎
Cool video
Thanks 😎
The new BA Club Suite is a great product, hopefully to be seen soon on other aircrafts like the A380 and 787.
Thanks for the video. We have avoided BA since 2017 when we were exposed to their 2-4-2 business class configuration which was really dismal. We have now decided to try BA again in August.
Totally agree with you
More like the old First Class v the old ‘opposing’ Club seats where you had to step over the aisle occupant if you wanted to get out and they had reclined their seat and were asleep. Nice that you loom towards to windows v the Air NZ seats which while each have direct access to the aisle, leave you with your back to the window
I would have kept the beef, looked lovely 😂
Looking forward to flying in Club World LHR to Houston on 3rd April ‘24 to see the Total Solar Eclipse on the 8th - only ever flown economy previously, so this looks amazing…👍! I’m in seat 5a for both the outbound and return flights, but on a (according to SeatGuru, anyway…) 787-10 aircraft.
Sounds great! Enjoy your flight.
Choosing Do & Co is BA's best deal over catering.
I actually chose the same food as you, Mind you I have never really liked Creme Brulee but would give it another try.
I prefer BA suites over many other airlines, as we prefer the more understated service. Oh, and the duvets are lovely for in the back of the car (as we found out when our 8 year old pulled it out of his bag on the drive home!)
It said Cottage pie on the 2nd menu.
Loved the review but it’s always something with BA - I have NEVER been on a BA flight that wasn’t delayed
Thank you 🙏
I’m doing this flight in the summer along with 9 other family members including my 7 & 8 year old kids. The 10 of us are in this small forward club cabin (I’m in 7K which only has one window unfortunately 🙄) so it’ll be like us virtually having our own little private area, really looking forward to it.
I am slightly concerned with the new suites however having kids to keep an eye on though, with them being more “private” I suspect the old product (which I loved) is much more sociable & far better at keeping tabs on children.
I’ll find out in July 😃
Good video thanks.
We travelled with our 8 year old to New York in the new suites and it was perfect for him - plenty of room to spread out with his toys and for a nap. Crew had plenty of fun with him, and they have a good selection of mock tails suitable for them
What was the seat comfort like? Could you find a relaxed lounge position? What about the bed setting - was it flat without bumps or ridges?. There seems to be a sliding door to the pod; is that correct?
Its still a lottery as to the aircraft seating you can expect on BA. I've just returned from a round trip to Los Angeles. Outbound on a B787-9 and returning on the A380 both flights with the old Business Class seating.
You can check beforehand on google flights
@@imapoketrader How do you check seating ? I've looked and can only see flights and aircraft type.

I use expertflyer.com. There a subscription version but also a limited free version
@@davidmaguire7359 if it says 'lie flat bed' it is the old seat. if it says 'individual suite' it is the new seat. good to know all a380s have the old business, whilst the a350 all has the new business.
Excellent review.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Excellent review, straight to the point and void of flowery language - perfect. As a BA Gold card holder of many years, still can’t bring myself to spend my own hard earned money on BA long haul. Asian carriers so much better and crew make you feel they really are there to serve, haven’t seen that on a BA long haul flight for a number of years. Some of the food presentation still very poor, particularly the beef cheeks. You would never see that on Singapore or Emirates. At least the new ‘hard’ product is a big improvement though. Keep travelling!
Thanks for the comment 🙏
Beef cheeks are lovely
Love to see BAs Biz product is improving! More friendly FAs, 2nd full meal and not only refreshments..nice cocoon suite. The only thing missing to make this perfect is a pair of comfortable pyjamas.
I almost packed the Qantas First Class pyjamas I got last month in my hand luggage. But then I thought it might not go down well 😉
@@DoorsToAuto well, there is always a risk but better to have one with you.
Very nice video! Quick questions please: 1: is Club World the same as Business class? 2- Your second meal was the breakfast? 3- can you ask snacks as you please during the flight?It looks very nice. I have the impression that If fly business I ll be drinking wine and eating the whole flight haha Thank you for your time
Thanks for the comment 🙏.
Club World is the same thing as business class. Although there’s a big difference between the Club Europe business class offer and the Club World business class offer. If you are flying beyond Europe/parts of the Middle East, it will be Club World.
The second meal on my flight was afternoon tea/supper. We took-off at lunchtime, so the first meal was lunch, then a second meal before landing in LA late afternoon. On overnight flights that land the next morning, the second meal would be breakfast.
There were snacks available on the galley throughout the flight; crisps, biscuits and chocolates. And you can use the call bell to ask from any drinks. On this flight, the crew came through the cabin several times to see if anyone wanted anything. They were a very good crew 😎
@@DoorsToAuto Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated. All noted. Hope to see more videos of you!
Do you plan in increasing the volumes of your videos, because i have to essentially triple my volume to hear it.... which is kinda annoying and can lead to accidental sonic booms in my room when i switch to another video
I'm due to travel business LHR T5 to PHX, nervous, alone. I haven't a clue 😮. At least my seat is 5k on 777. I know that much. !!! Oh dear. I know I'm going to get lost plus the earliest I can arrive at LHR is 12.40 for a 14.40 departure. Probably too tight?
You’ll be fine! Heathrow is very easy to navigate, I’d arrive 3hrs before early gives you more time to enjoy the lounge and more breathing space of your journey to the airport gets disrupted
Why is BA the only airline I know that charges extra for seat selection in business class?
Qatar does too
What seat is more private?
The window seats are more private than those in the middle, as you are not next to anyone. The smaller front cabin is also more private than the larger second cabin.
This for 57.5K AA points + $732 ......or AA business for 75K points + $5 ? LAX to LHR
The BA lounges these days are too bloody busy to a point where you can't even get a seat.
Agree about the lounges in the main terminal 5, but the lounge on the B pier was a lot quieter. if you know you’ll be departing from B or C gates, I’d definitely head to the B lounge.
@@DoorsToAuto Absolutely . I never used the main T5 lounge the other Business lounge near departure gate was much much better.
I'm hoping one day that somebody might do a different type of review but no, you all seem to follow exactly the same format.
13:09
? Is there a clue to the cryptic code ?
Good to see that seat layout now in 777 rather than just the A350s, the old look-at-your-neighbour business was getting very long in the tooth,
The meals look better too, is Do & Co doing business class now as well as first? I lose track.
Sad to note the Motherly BA stewardesses ( I refuse to call them 21stC FAs ) are getting friendly rather than like headmistress Trunchbull ... nooooo. That is a step to far. Always liked taking the toilet run just as the seating signs came on just to get them to rush out with their grappling hooks !
I enjoyed the video but the music quickly got on my nerves
I didn't even notice the music. Mind you I love lounge indexs music. I hum along to that.
So B/A is as bad as it always is. Not having flown with them for many years I don't and will never fly with them again. My last exppearance with B/A was flying from LHR to BKK. I only flew with them then as I had to get to BKK early. Normally I fly EVA Air on that route. Ok, they took off on time and arrived a tad early. But and it's a BIG BUT. They run out of food so only fish was offered. Normally I would have put up with that but I am allergic to fish. Had to settle with a dried-up pasta dish that was inedible. Will I ever travel with B/A again??? I would sooner walk.
I HATE the blue lighting in their cabin. It's like being in an anti-heroin-injecting toilet in a train station. It's horrible. BA Business Class is not Business Class, it's way way way below the standards of service and quality of Emirates and similar airlines, and no cheaper.
Ha! I’ve never really thought of their lighting in those terms. Although the purples of a Virgin Atlantic cabin do seem to have more sparkle…
Emirates do not have suites with a door and don’t offer direct aisle access, it’s in a 2-3-2 layout which is the same as BA’s premium economy! BA is far better now.
Edit out the dirty (meal finished) plates. No one wants or needs to see that.
