The window seats are much more private. In the aisle seat, you are not isolated much from the flight
attendant and passenger traffic. The middle two seats (downstairs) are good only when traveling with a
close companion. They are secluded in their own little room. However, the middle two seats do not offer
much privacy from each other. When traveling alone, get a window seat upstairs in an exit row. They
have maximum privacy and you don't have to step over another passenger to get out. Also, the exit row
seats allow taller passengers to hang their feet over the edge of the bed. With other seats, the length
you can stretch out is limited by the seat divider.

London-Muscat return, out in Business (10J) and return in First (4K). The seats suit me fine and I
particularly enjoy 4K and usually have a good sleep. There is noise due to proximity to the galley.

Beats the awkward diagonal sleeping position of SIA, the long thin beds on Qantas. Food is mediocre,
amenity packs seem to get more sparse these days.

I was extremely disappointed with BA Business class from ORD to LHR. The seat was uncomfortable for
sleeping - no room if you like to sleep on your side. There is very little storage for your personal
items. Not even a little shelf for your water while you sleep. AV system was terrible - the screen was
small, at a bad angle, and it is not on-demand.

New Business Class. Inflight entertainment adequate. Seats very comfortable especially in "Z" position.
Food good quality, decent service on upper deck. Row 63/64 window seat. Very private, nobody to disturb
when getting out of my almost private mini cabin. Make sure the person next to you isn't a fidget as
their seat is attached to yours. Very good service, product, will travel with them again. Lounge at T5 is
very spacious, good selection of food and drink. Maybe a smile from the Crew would be welcomed.

Seat was comfortable but there was no big difference with business class seats from British Airways. The
privacy is good and the food is average for being a first class. The kit of pijamas, and refreshing bag
has a very good quality. It was a nice experience but I do not see any big difference to BA business
class experience.

The seat comfort when upright was very good, with pillows and blankets even better! But on sleeping
configuration it can be a little less private than some first class sleeper seats - maybe some more width
would have been nice. Pyjamas and Egyptian Cotton bedding very comfortable. Concorde Lounge at Heathrow
is good - could be done with some more updating and enlargement.

Looking forward to trying out new First cabin layout but not rolled out on this route yet! Why does it
take so long? First notified of new cabin late 2009 and still not in place April 2010. Anyway same tired
boring interior which has been around for years and you can tell! Seat not particularly comfortable and
hopeless TV monitor - has LCD technology completely passed BA by? Long flight and cabin ambience ruined
by male FA who moaned to his colleagues from wherever he happened to be about life, the universe, BA and
everything else he could think of.

3K outbound and 1A return. The new Business class seat is vastly superior to the old first class seat in
comfort, space and amenities. A new seat is being rolled out and this cannot happen soon enough. Why does
it have to take so long (12 months) to install on all aircraft? Given the recent strikes and the number
of planes on the ground, an opportunity missed by BA. The TV is too small, there is no-where to store
anything, apart from the shelf where everything moves about. The sleeping position did not work for me,
even when made up by the cabin crew. Buddy dining is a plus though!

LHR-BAH-LHR. It's not surprising BA are rolling out new seats. The seat needs to be wider and the TV
much bigger. I was in Qatar business recently and I'd rate it way better than BA first. I came back BA
business which I've used before and thought they'd improved it a lot.

I thought that the seats were extremely comfortable, managed to stretch out and sleep well for a few
hours on both legs. If you are looking for privacy, then get yourself a window seat - Ii was envious that
my fellow traveller could be so luxuriously cocooned from the hustle of the cabin.

Seats were comfy in all positions, Tv was in a good place and choice was good. I did have one or two
problems on the return flight, my privacy screen did'nt work unless I physically moved it myself, and the
tv remote clip didn't work and during turbulence the tv remote flung out onto me.

Best business class bed and service. Full sleep lying on side. Excellent food. Great service. Will always
be my first choice for a lie flat experience in the sky. Sleeper Service is great. Lights off after
wheels up on night flights, pre flight dining in the lounge. Who needs a meal and duty free in the middle
of the night anyway ?

JFK-LHR sleeper service with pre-flight supper in JFK is a really nice touch leaving the flight free for
sleep. The new seat is pretty comfortable seated and I find it pretty comfortable lay flat. Privacy is
great.

EWR-LHR, Seat 10A. Great seat, against window facing the rear. Although they look a bit cramped they
don't feel cramped. This was a Sleeper Service flight to LHR so had dinner in the Lounge (excellent) so
could spend most of the flight sleeping. Travelling on my own, next to the window and with the seat
divider screen up it is almost like being in your very own private first class suit. Service and inflight
entertainment was excellent.

Flew in seats 1A, 2A, 1K, 2K on 4 segments. AVOD worked fine on all legs. The seat was most comfortable
when fully flat and turned down for sleeping. As one who has an extremely difficult time sleeping during
flying, I was actually able to sleep 5+ hours on all legs. I expect BA's new First Class seat to be more
comfortable when it is hopefully released.

The outgoing F seat on BA is still a decent product after nearly 15 years - especially when there are
just 2 passengers in the cabin, as was the case on the return. When full, privacy is not great, but the
layout on the 777 allows for greater personal space compared to the cramped F cabin on the 747. The
mattress cover does make a difference to sleep comfort, and I managed to sleep 6 hours on the 7.5hr
return leg.

The New Club World seat is very comfortable despite absence of lumbar adjustments. Oddments are well-
catered for in a spacious draw. The footrest has two height positions, when raised it forms part of a
cosy bed that is unfortunately rather short - I am only 5'9" but had to adopt a diagonal position to keep
my feet on. AVOD is the same in all classes - okay but limited compared with the leaders. Protected by
electrically raised seat dividers, window seats have excellent privacy and I look forward to using them
again. The food when is mediocre at best.

LHR-SIN on 747 return on 777. Wife and daughter sat together in the middle rear facing
seats, myself on one of the forward facing adjoining seats. We all thought the seats were
excellent giving a great range of positions when dining, watching the IFE or reading and
more importantly a good comfortable sleep. One observation was that the seating plan on
the 747 seemed slightly strange with Economy Plus sandwiched between First and Business class.

Used to fly a mix of Club World and First but since I found 60J on the upper deck I am
totally converted to club world over first. The service is superb, far more relaxed than
all the fussing about in first, cabin is always quiet.

Only marginally better than Club World. The TV screens are smaller and older than the new
Club ones. I used miles for this ticket, but would never pay extra or use more miles
again to go in First. BA have gone a great job at making Club very desirable and I prefer
being in the top deck (747) anyway, which First does not offer. Access to the Concorde
Room at T5 LHR was nice and exclusive, with a good food menu and complimentary champagne.
Also visited the First Class lounge opposite, which was similar to the Terraces Club
lounge, but with waiter service and availability of champagne.

The seat is completely flat and very nice to sleep as long as you are not to tall. I am
184 cm and you should not be taller. Seat should be wider. Service was very good, but
food terrible.
