British Airways A350 Club Suites - Toronto to Heathrow

  • Опубликовано: 10 июн 2024
  • The United Kingdom's Flag carrier has a long held reputation as a premium airline, from the De Havilland Comet to the Concord, British Airways has championed many firsts in its first 100 years. However, in recent years, BA has acquired a less-than-desirable reputation of cutting costs and raising prices, with a First Class that more resembles Business, and a Business Class that plays Tetris with humans for the sake of squeezing in more seats and squeezing out more profit. But things are changing, and their new Club Suites on the A350 are a step in the right direction, come along as I check out the seats, service and sleep quality on this flight from Toronto to London.
    Thanks to 'Live and Let's Fly' for coming in clutch in the face of my ineptitude with bathroom pics. Read his review of British Airway's A350 here:

    Some top notch consumer advice here:
    My girlfriend and I booked this itinerary out of pocket, so we combed the internet for the best flights. This segment was part of a longer YYZ-LHR-HEL-PEK itinerary that came to half the price of what a YYZ-LHR ticket would have been. I booked this with Finnair on their website, and was surprised to learn that BA charges a 150 USD fee for advanced seat selection in business. $150 per person. We didn't give in to this blatant act of daylight robbery, and took our chances with seats during online check-in. So, if you're travelling as an inseparable couple or with your offspring, be warned.

      Would they guarantee families will be seated together?

      @VicariousVoyager  4 года назад +17

      @@jasonm9193 When I called in and asked if they will do anything to accommodate this request, the agent replied that they will not move passengers around if there are no adjacent seats. So I guess not.

      They will seat families together. I’ve never fallen for their advance seat selection gimmick (daylight robbery agree) - but all three times, my family of four was seated together

    Great report, sarcasm delivered without missing a beat! Excellent. I don't know how I got here, but I love to fly, and was somewhat shocked to see a travel report! I quickly checked the date of your postings, and alas, it's a pre-covid report, a year old. Amazing what a difference a year makes. I've never done BA business class, it really doesn't look overly exciting, apart from the Suite. In a different lifetime, I've flown Qatar from Houston to Doha and on to Singapore. Talk about being spoiled! Spectacular service, spectacular food, spectacular wine list, amazing closed door suite. I'm a customer for life, if I ever get my life back... And the A350 is an amazing machine to travel in. So, thanks for a great report.

    Over the past year and a half, I've been watching a ton of these travel videos, mainly due to the pandemic and not being able to globetrot myself as I am used to doing--and so what the hell else is there to do at home but live vicariously? No matter how many of your competitor's videos I watch, I find that I am drawn back to yours; they are, without a doubt, the best. Not only are they incredibly informative (almost to the point of overkill, but hey, when it comes to world travel, too much info is always better than not enough), but I also truly love the "peppering" of salty language and your deliciously wicked and dry sense of humor. Not that you needed another one, but count me as a fan.

      Especially enjoyable during such extraordinary times; planning travel for when the pandemic ends... Hopefully w/o needing a vaccine because frankly don't trust the speed it's been rushed through and the orange baffoon rethoric pushing FDA approvals. So may have to wait longer before flight than others :(

    Love your reviews. Just flew A93 from LHR to YYZ and the service was PAINFULLY slow. 90 minutes for drinks to be serviced! 2.5 hours into the flight I received my starter. I too was also seated in 9A and the forward cabin was only 50%full. LOVE the new seating which is by far the best business class seat.
    However the forward galley is WAY too small to service the number of passengers. During meal service the forward lavatories were locked and this is due to the fact there isn't enough room. It really shouldn't take 3 hours to get your meal. Cabin crew were really hassling to try and serve everyone. Crew confirmed the lack of galley space is the problem.
