Make Sure You’re Flying The New Seatsīritish Airways’ new seats are competitive. British Airways is becoming flyable again. Whereas a couple of years ago it made sense to avoid British Airways even in favor of its joint venture partner American Airlines (for better seats and semi-functional internet on long haul) that’s no longer the case on many routes. While BA isn’t going to be mistaken for Qatar Airways business class, ANA’s new business class, or EVA Airways, it’s much improved. You didn’t choose to fly BA because of its product. You flew British Airways either because their schedule was most convenient to London Heathrow, or because they were cheapest – BA often was ‘the low price leader’ since they had so many premium seats to unload into the market. Catering was suffering from significant cutbacks, too.Boeing 777s had eight-across business class seating, while many airlines still had nine-across in coach. I actually liked the old lie flat business class seat that I flew fifteen years ago on British Airways (‘New Club World’) more than the seats that are now being phased out that are reminiscent of a sea of corporate cubes (‘Next Generation Club World’).įive years ago I offered, Just How Bad Is British Airways Club World Business Class? The seats weren’t wide or private, but they were classy with blue fabric and brown leather. British Airways pioneered lie flat seats in long haul business class.
