Some of the 777-200's have been updated with the new club suite. I was lucky to be on one of the updated 777-200's. Nice, comfy seats with good privacy. The new IFE screen is much better than the IFE screen on the old 777-200

The seat is horrendously outdated. My back was killing me the entire flight from SFO to LHR. An outdated product that is an extreme blemish to the British Airways reputation and expectations from its customers. I strongly hope that BA either retires these aircraft if they will not update the product they are offering to customers.

Economy on this flight is horrible. I'm a fairly tall person (5'10") and had no legroom when the person in front of me put his seat back. I had to put my knees to the sides of the seat, which my neighbors were fine with, but then could not use my tray. Horrible experience overall.

When the seats in front were in full recline position it was impossible to stand up and exit this seat. The only way was to shuffle across the armrests or clamber over the seats to the aisle

This seat is extremely uncomfortable when the seat in front is in full recline position. It is impossible for a fairly slim person to stand upright to exit the seat - I had to shuffle across the armrest to get out. Even with this seat in recline position the table would not come out of the armrest but had to be forcibly lifted out by the steward

The seat is OK. No more. There's ZERO storage space once you recline. The tiny drawer next to your feet is stupid. The location is ridicules. When your seat is in takeoff/landing position it’s hard to reach. The moment you recline, that drawer is out of reach and there’s nowhere to put your phone, headphones, water bottle, etc...In lie flat position the seat turns into a decent bed, but its SHORT. I’m 187 cm (6’2) tall, and I couldn’t lie on my back with my feet straight. Had to bend or lie sideways. I’ve flown business before on AA and Iberia and had no problem lying with feet stretched all the way, so this was very disappointing. Service was good, so was the food.But this 8 seats across configuration is the worst business class ever. Whoever invented it and whoever approved it should spend the rest of their days seating in those seats. Crammed up, unsafe, no privacy. I booked this ticket because it was the cheapest business class fare I could find. You get what you pay for.Oh, and BA’s first class? That’s a business class seat on AA and many other airlines. It’s funny how sad BA is. They’ll FINALLY get their business class up to par with the rest of the industry later this year, but it’ll take years before all its planes will have it. Until then- no BA business class for me. No matter how cheap it might be.

Well, after taking the BA 747-400 5 days prior to this flight, having had a pleasant experience, I was looking forward to a refreshing flight on BA's 777-200 from JFK-LHR. Far from it. The IFE screen is small, blurry and horrifically outdated. My IFE system didn't even work properly. No place to charge your mobile phone, unlike on the 747 where they have a MUCH better IFE system and seat. The World Traveller cabin is just an overall lacklustre place to be. I would try to avoid the BA 777-200 at all costs for a more pleasant experience. On the plus side I did manage to sleep for a few hours, which is good as I can never usually sleep on flights.Conclusion: BA's 777-200 World Traveller cabin is outdated, lacklustre and should be avoided in favour of the 747, 787 or a380.

My main complaint is lack of storage space. A small drawer ony big enough for a pair of shoes. Krypton Factor challenge to get out of the seat to get to the loo - find somewhere to put headphones and whatever you have on the table (water/glass/anything) as the table needs to be closed, then put the foot rest up to be able to climb over the person in 12B so as not to wake them or you'll bash your legs on their footrest.Privacy screen between A and B is good as regards privacy. But cabin crew either can't see you or choose to ignore you and used glasses, etc. can stay on your table for ages.My footrest didn't go down as far as it should. Cabin crew member tried but shrugged and said it wasn't working properly - in case I didn't already know that.View out of the window was of an engine filling the lower half of the window. Sky above.I much prefer the Club seats that are angled rather than facing straight forward or back.

I cannot believe this configuration of seats is approved by the body that sets air safety standards. There is not a clear exit into aisles due to the seats in the aisles flat bed blocking your exit. If you sit in the aisles you are interrupted by cabin crew who lean across you to deliver food and drinks to those sitting by the window or in the middle seats. Beware of sitting in the middle for the cabin crew cannot see you and you are sometimes forgotten. As there is 8 seats to every aisle it feels more like economy than business. Disappointing and overpriced!

I just flew LHR-JFK on this flight, and the seat wasn't quite as bad as some of the reviews indicate. That being said, I didn't pay for this seat, as I was upgraded at the airport. First the good: 1) privacy was actually quite good since there is minimal exposure to the aisle, and there was a screen between F and the facing passenger in G; 2) there was a lot more room to put my feet and consequently more flexibility in reclining positions (back, either side) since there was a footrest rather than a small well; 3) wine was good; 4) food was mostly good; and 5) the flight attendants were all quite pleasant for this flight. Now the bad: 1) rear facing is uncomfortable at takeoff and landing; 2) there is absolutely no way to maneuver around the passenger in G when the seat is extended, so you have to step over the width of their body and hope you don't land on them; 3) the head is not really flat when the seat is extended; 4) entertainment was blah; 5) my main course was overcooked. Overall, I would definitely choose another option if I am paying, but it wasn't completely awful either.

Due to a cabin wall behind, these seats only recline by a few inches, so if you happen to be on a long haul night flight and the seats in front of you are reclined, these seats are a nightmare! You are left sitting upright, unable to recline and feeling very claustrophobic with your knees up against the seats in front and your face about 12 inches from your entertainment screen. Certainly hard to get any sleep in these conditions.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/09/24 for Seat 39F
This seat is terrible, it is somewhat narrower than the others AND has a huge equipment box taking at least 1/3 the space. A regular backpack will not fit under it, so you have to keep getting up to get things from the overhead. In addition the BA touch screen on this plane barely worked, have to jam finger against it repeatedly, no doubt annoying for passenger whose seat-back it was. When scrolling the arrows are at very edge of screen and you constantly get no press or else hit the right/leftmost item instead of the paging arrow. On the other hand the toilets are distant enough so that is no problem even when people are queuing for them. The comments on this site for this plane do not make clear that the two-seat arrangments on left and right of row 39 are GREAT seats - there is no divider so the aisle seat basically has TWO underseat storage widths free, while the window side has a largish gap between next seat and fuselage, and doubtless would also be allowed to use part of the huge space in front of the aisle seat. Based on the comments I found here I chose 39F but you should always prefer the two-seat seats in that row (perhaps better than any other row if you don't mind being at back of plane).

Now that BA have replaced the 747s (they used to use on this route) with the 777 there are literally only two good business class seats - 15K and 15A. With those two, and those two ONLY you get aisle access and privacy. But note that you cannot reserve either of these seats until 24 hours before a flight because of the bassenettes. Business class in BA, for the rest of the seats, is quite simply horrible and cannot even begin to compare with American or any other airline for that matter. In BA the Business class seating is 8 across - same as their premium economy. In American it is 4. In BA you always have to face another passenger literally a few feet away. In BA, most seats do not have direct Aisle access - you have to climb over others. Those that do have aisle access have zero privacy. In American ALL business class seats have Aisle access. I dread flying BA's Biz product - but in some cases I have no choice. BA management haven't improved their biz class in 20 years. It shows, and it is quite simply awful.

Be aware that not all B777-200ER four class aircraft have 14 first class seats. Nine (I think) only have 12 seats with 3K and 4K being replaced by a crew rest area. I avoid booking these seats on flights showing 14 first class - just in case they change the aircraft!Having said that, if you do travel on a 12F aircraft, 2K is an excellent seat for a lone traveller. Middle seats said to be good for couples, but gentlemen need to remember that they will need to change aisles to remove their partner's bag from the overhead locker.Because of this we prefer two window seats, one behind the other and because of the risk of their being no 3/4K seats and, not being Gold Exec members, being blocked from pre-booking 1A/K, we always book 2A and 3A on any 777-200ER flight.

- the layout is 2-4-2 which gives you a clue as to how cramped it has to be. This is purely a money-earning exercise by BA who just want the max £££'s from their business class customers, and blow their comfort- the 2-4-2 firstly means the seats are very narrow, the legs part of the seats/bed area is narrower than the seat section to accommodate the shoulders/seat of the adjacent passenger.- the narrow part means you can't sleep on your side, if that's what you do, as there's nowhere to bend your legs- the aisle seats are very open and exposed to the aisle. In mid-flight with everyone sleepign it is an obstacle course to reach the loo as people's bedding is falling off, knees, elbows and feet are sticking out and I more than once woke someone by accident (not noticing feet with dark socks on for example). If you're in one of those seats, there is a draught every time a crew member passes - usually at a lick as they are understaffed and trying to get round everyone asap.- the in-seat faciliites are awful. There is one pathetic light, tucked under the lip of the partition and impossible to find except by asking a crew member. There is nowhere to put anything. There is a small drawer - at floor level, down by your feet. Also by that drawer as a mains socket and a USB socket. By your feet I reiterate. The drawer and sockets cannot be reached if the "bed" is reclined in sleeping position, or even if you just have the legs-up position, watching a film or using the tray, etc- the meal tray is pathetic - flimsy as all get-out, and not easy to fetch out from its hidey-hole- the "bed" is short. Now, I am 6'6" and always have a small bit of trouble on any flight or sleeper train journey, but most beds are 78" or thereabouts. The BA 777 ones have to be somewhere between 72" and 75" at the most. I could nowhere near lie straight, nor due to the narrowness (as above) sleep on my side with my legs bent. Whilst I am above average height, there were plenty of other passengers somewhat crammed in to their beds, and I would imagine if you're more than say 6'1" you are going to not be able to lie out flat, except for just 4 seats (15A/E/F/K)- the "flat bed" is not. The backrest goes nowhere near flat.- the 2-4-2 layour means to get to the central passengers the stewards have to lean right over the aisle passenger and access via a small space provided in the partition. Bad for the staff and bad for the aisle passenger.- the central two passengers (centre 2 of the -4-) are shoulder to shoulder with no privacy whatsoever. Sleeping right next to a stranger like that is, as my wife said, like being back at Brownie's Camp, in a tent. If on the other hand it's the adjacent aisle passsenger you don't know, you spend the flight looking straight at them from not very far away at all, unless you put the screen up, whereupon the stewards can't get to you to hand you your meal.- the piece de resistance is the obstacle course for inner 2 centre or window passengers to get out. If the aisle passenger is sleeping you actually have to CLIMB OVER them to get out, say to the loo. Physicaly possible (though still not acceptable!) if you've legs as long as mine, but if you're shorter, or have a gammy hip like my wife does, this is too hard and you're going to have to "hold on", or risk disturbing the aisle passenger

I am far wider than a regular economy seat so booked both 3 H and 39J on my flight form LHR to EWR in Oct 2017. 39Jis wonderful as it has a huge amount of free space between the seat and th ewindow - place for a large bag, an to just stretch out ifyou cannot pay for both seats. On the down side, the armrest betwen the two seats that I purchased does NOT come even close to being fully liftable to move it out of the way, so if you intend to raise the armrest and enjoy both seats, that is not a feasible option as the arm goes up only a short distance, leaving about a 30 degree part sticking out into your back. Despite this is would do this again because of the significant side space next to 39J on the tight AND because you can still maneuver your thighs / legs onto 39H for stretching out without bothering a neighbor. I took pictures to show this but cannot see where to attach them here now.

There are two USB power ports in the seatbacks ahead and two standard UK wall plugs in between seats which will charge items. Armrests on the aisle side are now open so I could cross my legs and the remote for in flight entertainment has been moved more toward the end of the armrest where you don't hit it every time you move.

The B and J seats in the World Traveller + section have NO underseat storage due to the equipment boxes. This is not mentioned anywhere on this site that I can find.

Get the bulkhead seat instead at least there you can bring your bag down during the flight. The D and G seats also have equipment boxes but they are not taking up nearly as much room

This Premium Economy seat felt a lot more cramped than the one on the way to Boston in a 747. I don't think I'd put on that much weight in the two weeks we'd been away but every time I moved, the volume started increasing as my leg was pushing against the controls in the side of the seat! The entertainment system itself was old and unresponsive to touch controls. Really frustrating and disappointing given our pleasantly good experience on the way out two weeks before. On the plus side, the food we got was actually tasty, although my husband did not get his "low lactose" meal and was scoffed at when he said he couldn't eat the chocolate "snack" and asked if there was anything that didn't contain dairy.

The seat is well cushioned for a comfortable sleep; however, this is where the positive ends.The space is very claustrophobic with a tight squeeze to get into the seat. No space to put anything bar a small drawer just large enough for a pair of shoes to fit.I hit my head on the ceiling several times. The height being about 1.5m due to the curvage of the fuselage.I was cold on my right side due to the airconditioning flowing down the side of the plane, the screen was hard to see due to the reflection from the overhead lights.This design makes it very hard for the crew. They have to reach over the passenger in 10B to serve me.I also had problems having to climb over the passenger in 11B to go to the restroom.I must say that the business cabin layout brings a whole new level to cattle class - the BA business cattle class.

Was assigned 26E at check in as it was the only seat left on a full flight LHR to Philadelphia. I was very apprehensive as it's next to the baby bassinets and often being next to the bulkhead can mean you actually get less legroom. But it was great! I'm 6'2" and could comfortably sit with my legs stretched, toes resting on the bulkhead, there were no babies either so very easy to get out and quiet as you want, and you're the first economy seats to get food! It's true that you can hear the toilets in front flushing but its not obtrusive if you have headphones on, espcially on this daytime flight. A very positive experience if you're lucky to not have any babies on flight. Worth noting though, had either bassinet had a baby in it, it would have been very difficult to get out and the BA attendants, while friendly, were openly apologisong about the pre-landing snack: a single miniature Mars bar or cookie! One said to us, "This is so minuscule it's embarrassing but I only have enough for one each."

The Club World seat 10A has no extra legroom. The BA 777 buisness class seats are wide enough. They have a lot of legroom. There is a small draw and power utilites and USB ports. These seats have a privacy screen to. Also there is a foot rest in front of your seat. If you need acess to the isle you may need to jump over someone elses foot rest. That may disturb the other person. If you use the bathroom a lot on planes maybe sit in 10 B. But the isle seats are less privete. It is right next to the isle and closer to the galley so it may be noisier.

The bottom line is that BA had 8 business class seats in a row on this B77W from LHR to HKG while Cathay Pacific (the airline I flew on the HKG to LHR leg) operates the same plane with four seats in a row!!! The seats on BA are narrow, lack privacy (the face of a stranger next to me facing in the opposite direction was about 2 feet, 60 cm, from me) and don't even dream about any storage space (I couldn't find a flat surface to place my eyeglasses on, and I kept my water bottle on the floor under the seat). The footrest had to be operated manually. Again, the entire experience was so irritating that I didn't know whether I should complain or just laugh at it. The BA first class seats were more or less identical to Cathay Pacific's business class seats. Quite frankly, I have no idea how BA can get away with this. They certainly won't see me as a customer again.

LHR to ORD. BA seems to want to generate as much money as possible from business class by having 8 seats abreast. Seats are not bad but are too narrow with too little pitch. Lack of storage space is annoying. Cannot compare with other airlines that have 4 abreast seating in business. Service is not great but better than the lower priced classes.

Our flight from Heathrow to Houston was truly amazing. The Concord Club was fantastic as our family of four enjoyed a wonderful breakfast before boarding. We were escorted to our seats once onboard and even the pilot came by to great us. We are food snobs, and the meal service was perfection. The cabin was newly refreshed and our seats were top notch. The flight ended all too soon 10 hours later. Well done BA, we will be taking the same flight in 2017.

First time on BA for 8 years, long-haul, Sydney-London in their club world section. Appallingly overcrowded business class. EIGHT abreast. Not even the world's crappiest airlines tries that configuration. And its a shame, as the actual seats are very comfortable, if a bit narrow. And there is a total lack of storage room - ZILCH. Service just adequate - the staff did the minimum necessary to make the flight tolerable, but not a single act above and beyond this. AVOID BA BUSINESS IF POSSIBLE.

The world's worst business class cabin ?It's a long time since I flew BA Club World. A recent BA flight from Muscat means I wilI not be repeating the experience in the near future.The cabin layout is appalling.... 2-4-2 (compared to most airlines 1-2-1) is a joke. It is cramped and one has to ask if it was designed by the bean counters rather than customers. Not surprisingly there is absolutely no storage space. It feels like flying in a coffin ! I feel sorry for the Cabin crew having to lean over other passengers to serve food and drink. I understand the A380 layout is identical so obviously BA haven't learnt by their mistakes.My meal was inedible (tenderloin of beef, a misnomer if ever there was) and when I returned it untouched the embarrassed crew member explained it had come out from Heathrow on the outbound flight.... no wonder it was tired and tough. My camel biryani in a local restaurant the night before was succulent and tender in comparison.And they demand £300 to book seats ! A quick look at TripAdvisor or Seat Guru confirms that my experience was not unusual.So sad to think BA really was once 'the world's favourite airline'I challenge Mr Walsh to fly Emirates and then attempt to defend his substandard product. If you have to fly BA choose Premium Economy.... the cabin and seating is much more attractive and you'll save money.... otherwise use their alliance members or Emirates/Qatar/Lufthansa/Singapore.

My husband and I flew from Boston to London in British Airways Premium economy which looked very good on their website. We were seated in the window and aisle. None of the armrests lift so there is no gain in space even by the window. As soon as we were allowed to move the two passengers in front of us reclines fully and promptly went to sleep. We were literally pinned into our seats all night while they expelled foul gas in their sleep. I had to use the bathroom 4x during the flight and inorder to get out I reclined my seat fully, and got chastised by the man behind me; then I rolled over onto my stomach, inched up on my seat to my knees and then had to straddle the middle armrest ( about 6" ) one leg at a time to exit the row. Luckily I didn't have to wake my husband as he couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep. The flight attendants were so busy, we never caught one to have them intervene so we just endured the flight from hell. In addition to the farty pants in front, there was an airsick passenger opposite my husband adding to the cabin pollution and the man behind me snored, open mouthed all night and had hallitosis. That cabin smelled dreadful. The cabin is small, cramped and cannot be called 'premium' by any suggestion. Several calls to BA customer service resulted in holding on for long periods then being cut off. Ultimately 3 days later and many attempts I finally reached someone who said she would report my comments, but BA does not do more than that. I was offered an upgrade to Club World for about $12K. How special! BA should not allow the seats to recline so far back that it becomes the responsibility of a passenger to consider if their seat will squash someone. I think it's fair to assume the airline has measured out the space to be comfortable. A little air circulation would have been helpful too, but you have no control over that in PE.Caution: Do not fly unless you get the front row, and then be considerate of your neighbors!

The seats are crammed together. When the seat back of the row in front is reclined there is no room to such an extend that if all three seats of the row in front are reclined the person in room 27 by the window cannot get out without climbing on the seats! This applies all the way down the plane. Hopeless and very uncomfortable. I think all the economy seats should be shaded pink.

Disappointing experience on Club World. Very dated B777 aircraft business class, with no in seat storage. Not competitive at all with most other carriers. Clumsily designed rear facing middle seats and middle seat pax hv to step over you if you are resting. Business cabin needs a total revamp. However, service was good and staff attentive.

I flew on this service on 25th Aug.2016. In all my 40+ years of flying with many carriers all over the world, I have never been confronted by such a hazardous seating configuration. I'm astounded that the Air Safety Authorities allow it. The window seat passenger (my Wife) found it virtually impossible to leave her seat as the aisle passenger's bed, when fully deployed totally obstructed her exit, appalling!! Imagine trying to evacuate in an emergency from a smoke filled cabin in darkness. A senior steward on the flight told me a similar configuration will be employed on the 787 which is apparently scheduled to replace the 777 on the route. Never again for this laddie. B.A. are the pitts!!

Excellent seat with plenty of legroom, width with easy access to the aisle; on a day flight this seat equals anything in Club. Seat only released at last moment; paid extra at check-in to avoid economy and probably the best £200 I've paid in a long time as 'cattle' on way back was verging on the unbearable.

37D had east access to the aisle, toilets and galley. The tray table is a double fold type and has signs of age, with the loose fold segment angled so that things roll towards you. IFE was good and plentiful. Takes a long time to exit the craft from this far back, so best avoided if you have a tight connection.

The law didn't bother me at all, as curtain drawn between my seat and the lav - perhaps the fact flight was really empty helped a lot... We usually get seats across aisle from each other, which is what we did on this & was fine, but the two middle do have a window that opens, so if you want to chat, these are the seats. Nice service. So so food. Not super generous with drinks - had to ask.

BA First is generally superior to US carriers but not by much. Sleep is important to me on TATL flights and the hard product is acceptable (but then Club World seats are good enough if you get the right one). The main problem on a relatively short flight such as PHL-LHR is that the FAs wake up the entire cabin at the crack of dawn which means you've only enjoyed four hours of sleep on this route. Then you get breakfast and a few hours' time to waste before finally landing. Wish the flight were scheduled earlier. Also the temp was hot but the FAs said there was nothing they could do about it because a woman behind me had complained that she felt chilly. Oh well.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/05/24 for Seat 10D
The Business Class seating on the 777 from AUS-LHR is the most asinine arrangement imaginable. if you choose an aisle seat, be ready to have NO peace and privacy. Flight attendants must reach across (and I mean directly in front of your face!) to serve the backward facing center seats. God forbid you get a self-important wanna-be wine enthusiast that wants to sample every wine offered to go with his HORRIBLE food like I had on my flight. The FA tried showing sympathy for me but could only politely wait while this cork-sniffing-clown decided what went best with burned pasta. Watching a movie was impossible because whenever food, or a hot towel or another glass of wine was delivered, the FA had to lower the divider between my seat and Clarence the Claret Clown. British Airways; when you started this service with the 787 Dreamliner, I flew in World Club Economy and had a MUCH MORE pleasant flight. I'll never fly BA business class again. Cross my heart. My return flight on AA719 out of Rome was sooooo much better on an A330.

I was pleased to get a front bulkhead seat for a little extra legroom.I was not so pleased to find I would have to pay extra to get a choice of seat. A shameful situation when I had already paid extra for the WT+ cabin.I was pleased to read on here that the cabin on our aircraft had recently been refurbished.I was not so pleased to find it had been done to such a poor standard. The seats had lots of adjustment but despite this I could not get comfortable on the hard cusions. The tray tables when folded out from the armrest flopped about and would not support a meal tray. We had to eat off the cot table.The entertainment system was shameful. The tiny screen was from the 1990s. To add insult to injury it totally failed after 40 minutes. This happened on the return flight as well on a different seat on a different aircraft. C'mon BA. You are being left behind.

There is certainly more space in front of seat 21J than there is for seats on rows 22 to 25. However, I wouldn't necessarily call this more legroom because I couldn't fully stretch my legs due to to the bulkhead (I am 183cm tall). This isn't a problem on rows 22 to 25 where you can put your feet under the seats in front.Having no seat in front to recline onto you is definitely an advantage.On my flight, I noticed that seats 21D to 22G are slightly further back than seats 21A,21B,21J and 21K, thus offering slightly more room in front.

This is an awful seat. It deserves to be marked red. This seat and 26C are not good because you get banged into the whole flight by people going to the toilet. In addition, the seat is quite opposite the curtains to premium so when people are passing by which is quite often, you keep having to move your feet because your in the way. It also blocks off the toilet keeping your feet in the way as the proximity is close. I would not recommend this seat at all. 26 B and J deserve a green mark because they are great seats. Of course despite overhead bins not being big.

Seats throughout Economy in this 777-200 are horrible. Bad cushioning, very small legroom. Not indicated for a 12-hour flight from Narita, or for anything longer than 3 hours.

You have three windows in your area and this is a rearward facing seat. At 5'10 and 210 pounds 38 inch waist it was snug but quite comfortable. Maps did not work until we got to the east coast. I found laying on my right side gave more room than on my left side. Length wise I just fit with my feet nearly touching the wall in front of me. Nice dinner service but they mis-catered and only had one starter. Beef choice was very good as was the tart for the pudding. The Kitchen started to run out of items before landing. We all got the same breakfast a hot bacon roll. Note, this seat is along the windows so no one will climb over you, but you will climb over someone to get out.

This was a nice business class flight with nice seats. We waited over an hour to have dinner order taken and were very hungry because we left 50 minutes late. Double seats in back row 15E,F very nice for couple, although they were also very cold. It was private and there was no seat in the way of the aisle. It was some time since I flew business, and the lovely duvets of the past are now dingy thin quilts. Wear warm clothes and have a jacket. Service friendly. Bed seemed fully flat and was comfortable for sleeping. The dinner halibut was terrible, floating in a pool of fat, but with no good flavor and cooked tough. The beef cheeks were good. Cheese plate for dessert was nice. There is a large selection of movies available.I wrote the above comments after my first international flight in a series of four, the last of which was AA. I didn't appreciate how good we had it on this flight until we flew AA business.

I've consciously avoided flying BA in recent years specifically because of its odd Club World layout with both front- and rear-facing seats, suspecting I'd dislike it. I recently flew on 772s for a roundtrip to London, and ... well, it was even worse than I expected. You *know* something's off when even AA's business-class product tops BA's. Subjective configuration dislikes aside, the two legs I flew were both on 772s that bordered on disheveled, with malfunctioning electrical outlets going one way (none of the in-seat power plugs worked) and a broken ottoman that refused to stay up the other way (without which the seat's lie-flat functionality doesn't work). Thankfully BA is replacing the 772 on this route soon with their brand-new 787-900s, but until then: avoid!

First time in First on BA and seats 2E and F were perfect for a couple travelling. The little divider between the seats stows and allows easy conversation eye contact when needed. Plenty of space around the seat with some storage although agree that it could be better. Managed to get a decent amount of sleep and was woken just in time for a lite bite before landing. overall experience was fairly classy but maybe a little older and fussy than i'd prefer but i'm at the bottom end of the demographic that BA aim for.

My wife daughter and I flew on BA 296 ORD-HRW on 10 Sep, with me in 12K, wife in 12J and daughter in 12G. Seats themselves were comfortable and the FAs were quite attentive. My only "ding" is the awkward alignment of the seats, e.g., I had a window seat facing backwards in 12J, and the aisle seat my wife was in 12K, faced forward. Things get a bit clumsy if a window or "middle seat" passenger needs to go out into the aisle as one has to be a contortionist to not disturb the person behind you (or in my case, in front of me in the next row back). Other than that, very pleased with the flight. Simply need to reconfigure the seats so that they make a bit more sense.

First class seat from LHR to SIN. Good quilt and fairly comfortable seat/bed as it should be for the money. I think the screen size is disappointing as is lack of storage. Food was also disappointing. I typically have flown business class with Singapore Airlines for this route. I would say the SA business class is superior to BA First class (except the quilt). Screen bigger, food better, more room in seat, better entertainment, more modern. Service also slightly better, although depends whether you like formal or informal. This is all for the same price. The BA food is really what lets it down. Meat is overcooked and like leather regardless of the animal. Not good enough for the money. This is the 3rd long haul First class seat I have had and its been similar each time. Disappointing.

We got upgraded (the first time ever) at the gate to CW seats (13E & F) from WT+ seats, on a flight from Seattle to Heathrow! These centre seats E&F are ideally suited for couples and you are together in your own pods! The crew do lower and raise the screens when serving drinks and food. The only trouble is that you have climb over the feet of the passengers to get in and out, in the row behind if they have the footrest down. It was also a bit strange to be facing backwards for take off and landing! Food is very good with a choice of courses and each course is served separately. Drinks are plentiful and you can make use of the galley if you require anything else mid flight. The only annoying factor was the entertainment system which we both paused when the meals were served and after that both our video and music tracks kept intermittently freezing. As it was a night flight wasnt too much of an issue but we would have been annoyed at this is we had paid the full CW price!

Seat 15K is nice because like 15A no one has to step over you. I agree with all the other comments that the seats in business class are smaller and crammed together on this flight. IAD to LHR and vice versa, have both the A390 and 777, i would take the A380 everytime rom now on.

This flight was an unmitigated disaster. We had been allocated centre seats moved to 11F and 11G. Unknown to us was a facility for a cot to be attached to the bulkhead. 11E was occupied by a mother with a child that screamed half the night. This kept other passengers awake not helped by the lackadaisical crew who only sprang to life when they had to clear up the childs vomit. Do not book any of the centre seats in row 11 if you want to avoid a similar fate.

Business class seats on this BA configuration are rubbish. Very narrow, no in-seat storage, very little privacy. BA should be ashamed of itself charging Business class prices for these seats.

The plane tapers slightly here, which does restrict room slightly. However the main issue is that the seat arms do not raise, so if you're lucky enough to get a row to yourself, you won't be able to lie down.

If you have the seats in the last row, pre-flight service and the service during the flight is very slow. Often you don't receive a drink before departure.

We have been on this flight in these seats several times. They are ultra comfortable and spacious. We have also been in business class on this same flight and feel really cramped. After all, business class has eight seats across, you feel like you are in a narrow coffin!!!!!

This was the best Y experience I have ever had. The 777, which commonly flies a 3-4-3 arrangment, was spacousliy laied out in a 3-3-3 configuration, creating an invredibly wide seat. My flight wss a 10 hour redeye, and it felt like it was over in 2 hours. The legroom is a little tight, but the seat width and incredible recline more than make up for it. seats were comfortable, Ceilings high and airy, Lavs clean, and crew cheery. I would reccomend this plane to absolutley anyone

This seat and 15A are the best two seats on british airways business class for solo flyers. They are tucked away behind the aisle seat, so they offer the most privacy by far. They are also the easiest to get in and out of because you don't have to try and step over anyones legs (very difficult when people are sleeping), and there is no one stepping over your legs.

I flew Sao Paulo- London on the 5th of April! The flight was 11 hours and 30 minutes! For this flight the entertainment system was terrible. The screen and the sound was really really bad! There were no remote control, no games, not enough movies and music. The seat were very narrow for a person 186 cm like me. The food were decent but between lunch and breakfast only some biscuits and crackers were available. The stuff was friendly, however they only pass once from the seats to collect garbage. The airplane was simple a pigsty after the landing. Really disappointing! Never again on BA 777-200

BA's Business Class is about the worst of any major airline. Their layout is 8 sets across where civilized airlines use 6 or even 4 across, resulting in extremely crowded and very uncomfortable seating. Combine that with the usual miserable English food offered, and you would be better off flying just about any other airline.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/04/11 for Seat 29A
The seats are quite old and need maintenance, as the headphone socket on my seat was misaligned and I had to force it in to the socket. The PTV was, although small and low quality, full of the latest movies, TV and music as well as having many classics. The food was good but hardly something to rave about (but I did like the millionaires shortbread :)). Overall it was a good flight and would definitely use BA again.

Please remember that British Airways is a family friendly airline. They WILL ALWAYS accommodate families with children. SO, the seats in World Traveller row 26 will always go to families with babies, which can be unpleasant, if you are in the middle seat. They will always always try to give World Traveller Plus row 21 to families as well.

Although OK for a couple you still have the problem of having to climb over someone's feet to get out. Worst seating plan for business of any major airline. If you choose 1 aisle seat as a pair, one can get out easily but the other has a massive bulk head between the seats cutting you off from your partner and you have to put up with lying next to a complete stranger. Probably save money and go Premium Economy if have to fly BA.

I fly BA as often as I can, and Business when the Company treats me. The BC seats are remarkably user friendly and having the ability to recline into a bed marks them above most of their competitors. Service is fantastic with an everlast flow of drinks and food. Would recommend them.

I must confess to being grateful for the space when travelling First Class with BA, especially is there are only 4 people in a cabin with 14 seats. The hanging cupboard is useful. Given how empty the cabin was the stewardess laid our meal in the empty 2F, with me sitting on the 'buddy seat' and my wife in 2F proper.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/01/24
BA's Club World seats are good individually, but it is quite correct that those in a window seat (A or K) have to climb over someone else's legs to get aisle access. As a whole, therefore the cabin does not compare with say EK or SQ. If traveling with a companion this layout works, but it's not nearly as good with strangers. On this flight the cabin was half empty, so some people were able to move to a seat which they preferred. The storage space in this cabin is limited.

Miserable business class (Club World). I chose this flight for convenience (I live in San Diego and needed to go to London for business). Upon entering the business class (Club World) cabin I was immediately reminded that all business class cabins are not created equal. BA should be embarassed by the business class (Club World) experience they provide. The 2-4-2 seating arrangement makes for an extremely crowded cabin. The flat beds should be a plus but, in most rows, four of the eight passengers (those in the window and center seats) must climb over sleeping fellow passengers to get access to an aisle. My aisle seat was left me feeling exposed and felt as if the seat had been tacked on to the center seats as an after-thought to increase revenue. The IFE screen was a small 10" with a grainy picture quality and the headphones were extremely uncomfortable because they were too small to fit around the ear and so smashed the ear to the head. The food service appeared to have been designed for cost savings and the convenience of the crew and so came off feeling very much like coach. The main course filet of beef was miserably flavorless and over-cooked. And aside from the packaged sweets and chips, the food in the self-service area of the galley was uniformly stale to the point of being inedible. By contrast, my return flight on American Airlines was positively heavenly. Same model aircraft (777) but with a roomy 1-2-1 seating layout; all with direct aisle access. The IFE had a crystal clear 15" screen and the excellent noise-canceling headphones were sized to surround the ear rather than smash it. The quality of the food service towered above BA. The main course beef filet was done to perfection and delicious.

Made the mistake of booking this seat thinking the flight was on a B747. Instead, on the B777, it's possibly the worst seat in First (as opposed to the best on the 747). This is not only close to the toilet, but also the FC Galley, as well as the CSD's "office", the crew jump seats and the boarding door. The seat also has a shelf in front of it, which the crew use as a place to loudly plonk bottles of wine etc during flight.

Taken this flight > 30 times. Business class seats are awful (for business) and unclear you have more usable space than in World Traveler Plus given bizarre space. I am 6'4" (190 cms), too big for when trying to flatten seat. I enjoy the better service and edible food when upgraded. The rearward seats where you have to clamber over sleeping people are stupid, but I fear typical of BA mindset (minimal service unless they charge you $$$). Seatguru pickes for WTP are fine if you need extra legroom.

Seat 1K has absolutely no storage space at all. Not even in the small wardrobe - no nets or shelves. The seat itself was ok and could go flat-ish: it was not totally flat as head raised a bit. Close to washroom and gallery and that was quite noisy. Food very good. Toilet tiny and not adequate for this price of seat.Overall BA First is poor and equivalent to other airlines Business class, but service is good.I have also flown seated in 2K which was slightly better for storage and quieter.

If you want to look outside, do select a different seat. The noted misaligned window prevents any type of window gazing. Also, like most BA biz class seats on these planes, there is very limited in-seat storage. All bags must be put up above. Also, for shorter passangers, climbing over feet is especially awkward. Actually, all of the window seats are especially awkward with the weird plastic divider, the ottoman, the difficult to access power outlet. Just so poorly designed.

I found this seat to be one of the best in economy. I travelled with one friend and so being in a row of two was perfect for us. There is more leg room then you would normally get from economy, due to the position of the seat at the back of the aircraft. There was also a relatively large gap between the right side of my chair and the plane wall, so i could store odd bits and bobs like my headphones and newspaper. Handy on a long flight. It may be close to the toilets, but it wasn't close enough to cause a disturbance.

Club class seats are fine if you are travelling as a couple . The A and K seats are especially good for overnight flights as they are very private and quiet for sleeping on the lie flat bed. The bed is not as big or as comfortable as Virgin upper class but the food on BA is better in my experience.

BA's business class is by far one if the worst of any airline in the world. Charging you a premium for this seat is robbery. 8 seats crammed into an old 777-200 configuration. Coach class has 8 seats!! If you are in the aisle, the flight attendant has to lean over you to serve the window seat. It boggles the mind. Never, never again will i fly BA. As a 200k yearly flyer, i will tell everyone I know how bad it is and convince them not to fly BA.

We found seats 12j & 12k to be suitable for us as a couple, probably more so then the central seats.Whoever designed this configuration for club class clearly had cramming in as many seats as possible into a small space, more than the comfort and convenience of club class passengers, as their priority. I really do not think that I would pay the significant premium to travel BA club again.

Awful: this was the Premium Economy, World Traveller Plus cabin, aisle seat in a row of 4 in the middle of the cabin.There was no room underneath the seat for my feet much less a bag, some electric box. The seat barely reclined. The cabin was full to bursting, very uncomfortable, and the plane was 2 hours late departing because they couldn't get the air to work, and the attendant said this was the 10th, yes tenth time it has happened. We took off anyway after 2 hours. Very stuffy and then they ran out of meal choices after serving first row, so obvious poor planning. Food was bad. Even two rows away from toilets you could hear flushing loudly. A terrible plane, a really disgusting and uncomfortable experience. I don't see the plus to paying for premium economy, might as well be jammed into economy, no real difference. Absolutely exhausting and endless nasty flight.

23G on the 772 with new WTP is a good seat. Much more comfortable than the old WTP seat, though there is no leg rest like on those seats. Although there is no lumbar support- did not get a back ache in these like I did in those. AVOD was the new style- quite nice. However, the underseat storage at this seat is minimized by the seat support strut for the row in front- cutting the area in half. Backpacks will not fit under the seat here- only thin narrow items will go under the seat ahead.

Nightmare seat. Overnight Mumbai London. Yes there is leg room but be prepared to be trodden on by people who seem to need the toilet several times during the flight. A constant procession all night of unsavoury men queueing for the toilet, opening door and then flushing chain- noise was horrendous! The area in front of seats also has more lighting presumably so people can find the toilets. They actually stand right in front of you while they are waiting. Who wants to eat a meal with the vision and constant noise from a public toilet? Avoid at all costs.
Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/07/30 for Seat 11K
Seat 11K is a rearward facing window seat. My biggest problem is it is too short when flat. With hard points at either end and very narrow at the knee area, it is just not possible for someone at 6 ft or more to lie flat without jamming legs. I woke up with sore calves from trying to lie down. Attendant asked if I had a good night and I told him I did not to which he admitted he had lots of complaints from tall but not excessively tall people. This does not happen on Virgin Atlantic in the Upper Class suites. I am not super tall but at 6'2" I had a very poor night. It is significant enough that I will not use BA Business Class again if Virgin available. Additionally, the awkward nature of facing the other passenger until underway (I routinely raised the privacy 'curtain' only for flight attendant to lower it even though stated on it "Needs to be lowered for safety briefing" ) and the lack of storage space takes away from the experience. Simply put, I switched to BA for airport preferences and now I will be back to Virgin. Big mistake BA.

Entrance to the seating area is extremely narrow so certainly something to bear in mind if you are "larger boned". Also, seats E and F (in any row) in business require you to climb over someone else's legs if passengers in seats G or D in any row are in "flat bed" mode so something to bear in mind too. Seat/flat bed was comfortable and both my husband and I slept (which is unusual for either of us on flights).I would endorse other comments about the BA entertainment system; content is simply not good enough (whether that be music, films or tv). Singapore/Emirates/Virgin do this better so BA need to up their game here!

I have flown all the major carriers biz class long haul but this was the first time i had flown BA biz class and was looking forward to it. The service level was ok but i was not happy with the seating configuration. The seat was narrow with little space for personal belongings, it was exposed to the aisle with people moving up and down it and it afforded little privacy given that i was sitting opposite someone. Additionally people had to climb over me to get to their cubicle whilst the flat bed was not a full bed - there was a gap between the footrest and the main bed. If this is the normal seats for biz class BA have got a long way to go to compete against the likes of Singapore and Emirates.

This is, and will always be my seat of choice. Loads of room, two seat back pockets, nobody nudging into your seat and good recline. If I had to put one complaint, the seat does not line up with the TV but, that is a really small price to pay for such comfort.

The last row in WTP is actually a wonderful seat. You have more recline than other WTP seats and don't need to worry about reclining into someone, which can be a problem in the rest of the cabin. I saw one woman get mad and start punching the seat in front of her as they nearly spilt her drink. The lavatories are in the econ cabin and there is a divider during flight, so you don't see or hear the queue.

11k is a rear facing window seat. You get more privacy and less disturbance from cabin crew and passengers walking up up and down the aisles.

Good seat in the middle of the First Class compartment. The seat is comfortable but not that wide and the design means that although you have two complete windows they are too far away to see much when you are belted up, and when you are flying it is just water.

Worst seat if you have a carryon that would typically fit under your seat--it won't here. There are two vent-like boxes cutting the space in half forcing you to share the space with middle seat passenger. So frustrating.

Great seat if you plan to sleep through the flight - in which case you won't mind people using the toilet 2-3 meters in front of you.
