LGW-TPA-LGW. Still the old style seats, looking and feeling very tired. Cabin manager quietly admitted the chances of new style seats was unlikely for LGW based aircraft.

British Airways Club World is an excellent product and offers a high level of comfort and space. The design of the seat makes it particularly easy to stow and organise all of your stuff, especially for a long flight. In many of the seats, privacy is excellent and you can cut yourself off from the rest of the cabin quite easily, although some of the seats are better than others. The length of the seat when flat is perfect for me (at 175cm) but I would imagine taller travelers may wish they had a few extra inches. On a very long flight, I did start to find the seat a tad firm but that was after 13 hours. In flight entertainment is something I use less and less these days, as I prefer to bring my own and I would say BA is only about average in this area, with picture quality being fairly poor and choice nothing like as extensive as some rivals. Service is not as good as I'd like it to be. The cabin crew are attentive but lack the professionalism of some of the other leading airlines, such as SIA but they do try to keep it informal and friendly. Overall, I would recommend Club World as still one of the best business class products in the skies.

My frequent travels have made me a big fan of BA and of its Club World and World Traveler Plus (BA's premium economy class). For the times I can afford Club World, I have never regretted it - as many other reviewers have noted, BA sets the standard in this market. Now with their lower prices recently for Club World, I've booked several flights this year in this section, hoping the fares will stay low.

Club World remains an excellent travelling environment, albeit that wear and tear is now beginning to show on some components after such a short time in service. Seat is superb. I tend to find the last stages of the cradle position better for sleep than lie flat. Dinner tray can be a little wobbly, particularly when fully loaded with food and drink and the aircraft is experiencing turbulence. AVOD easy to use, although choice remains behind the likes of SIA and Qatar.

Seat 64A on the upper deck is one of the rear-facing ones which you can gain access to without bothering the person next to you if their seat is in the lie-flat position. It's at the rear of the cabin and was amazingly private (particularly as the seat next to me was unoccupied). The seat controls worked perfectly. It was so comfortable I slept for 4 or 5 hours on a flight from Vancouver to London.

I was in seat 62a - highly recommended; as it means you are in your own little private world, since you are facing backwards and the exit row is in front of you. Not a big deal from the space perspective, but it means you don't have to climb over anyone to get in or out of your seat. The service was good. I was annoyed that children were allowed to run riot on the outbound leg - my complaint to the crew only resulted in the offer of a move downstairs, which I declined. QF won't allow children upstairs, I think this is a good policy. The food was okay - no complaints. I found the seat spacious, with loads of space for my nick nacks without using the overhead bins. My only complaint I could level at them was that BA never seem to have individual air vents for the air conditioning. With the heating turn up, I worked up quite a sweat, and this woke me a couple of times. Why don't BA have air vents?

Fly Although the plane looked pretty old, the new seating makeS a big difference. The fully flat bed seats, compartments to keep my stuff like passports, ipods, big screen, privacy screen, all make it look special. The seat was very comfortable, both in lounge mode and flat bed mode. The service on board was beyond my expectation. The only criticism was the onboard catering. I am a vegetarian, but did not have much choice.

Fly frequently between LHR and Hong Kong with BA Club World - always find it relaxing, comfortable and staff attentive. New Lounges, including the spas/showers in Terminal 5 are terrific. I'm 6/3 tall so the seat is still not ideal but need to be fairly pragmatic about it. The luggage allowance for this route is much more generous than Virgin. Food, movies, staff generally very good. I take night flights and find the service is good if you want to sleep. 20A on the 747 is a good sea as your just head of the partition with Economy Plus - and so extra leg room. Also 60A upstairs is very quiet.

British Airways new Club World between LHR and Chicago and I found the experience quite enjoyable. The privacy screen provided me with my own space and the lie flat bed was comfortable.

Old style Club World Gatwick to St Lucia return, very comfortable outbound as a day flight, food, drinks and hospitality good, cannot fault. Return were last to board plane, seating converted to bedding restrictive to the not so tiny passengers - looking forward to "New Club World" with 25% wider on shoulders area. IFE AVOD in need of upgrading as so few channels against opposition.
