    This is a significant upgrade. One of my main issues with BA was the design of their business class where you had to climb over people if you wanted to get out of your window seat. This is more like the business class on Qatar airlines. Finally BA looks like they have made an effort to compete with the main carriers. I might be prepared to fly with them again as I usually avoid travelling with BA, unless I can't avoid it. As usual, another excellent report. I love the Maldives so I am looking forward to your next few reviews. 👍

    I flew British Airways once, but it was back in the days when it was called BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation). It was when Brits were still counting their money by twelves, not tens. The UK entered the modern age by going decimal in 1971. I don't remember much about the service other than the fact it was very friendly. Lord, I'm really showing my age here.

    I don't have a favourite aircraft. The bigger the better for me. I think I've flown on Airbuses most. But the smaller short-haul ones unfortunately.
    I'm a teacher and have a couple of real aviation enthusiasts in my class. Imagine 13 to 14-year-old boys who instantly drop everything at the sight of a flying plane and start discussing it in great detail. We had our last day at school yesterday, they got their report cards and then I got to know they were off to the airport for a bit of plane spotting (they do that often and will even write a research paper on it next year). In about an hour I received a video of a British Air Force aircraft taking off from Tallinn Airport. Such fun. Love to see such interest and enthusiasm in young kids. Gives me hope for the future. 😁

    I flew the new Club Suites on a B777 from LHR to PHL in late March and absolutely loved it. I had to rebook my flight and was downgraded from First to Business. I thought I was getting the old Club World seats, but when I saw the new Club Suites, I was excited. I found it better than the First Class seats on both the B777 and B787. I especially enjoyed the privacy door, the leg room, direct access to the aisle, and pull out tray from under the IFE screen.

      I flew BA a lot back in the '90s and early '00s. Their Business Class in the 747-400 was dreadful. First Class wasn't a whole lot better, and upgrades from Business between London and my home in Scottsdale (Phoenix) were really hard to come by. These new Business Class suites are better than the First Class seats in American's 777s of the time. I flew them twice per month from Chicago to Tokyo and then from London back to Chicago. I'd have loved to have these new Business Class suites as the First Class product back then. Happily retired and thankful I'm not still flying 300K to 400K miles per year.

    I fly BA long haul fairly regularly. I like the generally friendly service and feel quite safe on the planes. I like also that pilots talk to you as that eases my nerves. Their food hasn't been great for the last year or so. Cue lots of feedback from me and other passengers (staff told me). Mostly these days I am in premium economy as flights so dear, but even in business I had some poor food. Yours looked pretty nice and I am hopeful they are going to improve. I didn't know there were lounges in the B and C gates and will try those next month.

    My favorite aircraft to this day will always be the 707 followed by the DC-8 (yes I’m that OLD). That said, today when flying internationally, I’m flying Lufthansa’s 747 because they won’t be here forever and I do love my seat 1A which physically puts me before the cockpit. Yes I’ve flown British Airways and, being old, fondly remember the VC-10 and it’s being quiet since the four engines were tail mounted. Unlike some travelers, I haven’t had a bad trip on British Airways. Crew have been lovely to me and food has been acceptable. 😉👍🏻. If I find myself onboard this 777 aircraft, I’d be in the forward cabin though.

    Have flown both Business and First Class on long-haul flights, and neither was up to scratch. Hopefully, the new design will be rolled out quickly.

    As an aviation enthusiast, my fav part of any flight is the view out of the window. These seats would not be ideal for viewing. I'd much rather save a lot of money and get a pure window seat in economy. Oh, and my fav passenger plane is the glorious (but gradually disappearing...sadly) Boeing 757. The Queen of the Skies isn't too shabby either. :)
