It had been 6 months since I've last flown this route. It was nice to see improvements. The menus were back, hot towels were actually given ;-) - The food on this flight was amazing. We both had the beef rib. It just fell off the bone with just a fork. Not too impressed that the trolley came out to ...

Return flight to BA2370.. This time a new or newly fitted A320 with the new "no legroom" space saving Club Seats. Again at least 12 rows, and full. Cramming in that extra row is a disgrace. The seat is now identical to Eurotraveller and that nice space-saving middle seat in the A/C side of the ...

British Airways First
It was a surprise to get "new first" on this route but a really pleasant one. What a difference from old tired First. We went down to the aircraft thinking we were early but they had already called First pax so we joined the CW crowd. We weren't seated as the poor crew member on the door had been ...

Rating this fairly is really hard because i was already annoyed at having to take an 8 minute bus in stifling heat to get to the C gates for T5, only to board an old heap of junk. Two things i loathe about this aircraft - Mid J with WT+ constantly coming through the curtain and old First which is ...

Virgin America Business (short haul)
on: A320
I'd flown VA once before but it was a short LAX-SFO flight. This VX312 from LAX-MCO was a good 4 hours. Originally booked in Main Cabin Select, i took the risk of not checking in 24 hours before but, instead getting up at 2am (6 hours before) to go for the upgrade to First Class for $169 each.. ...

As a loyal BA customer it pains me to write this but if this had been someone's first experience of Club Europe, they would have been disgusted. As someone who has used it a lot, I was still dissapointed. The aircraft is ancient & grubby. We sat on the plane at the gate for 90 mins while a tech ...

British Airways Economy (short haul)
on: B737-500
This was a BA/COMAIR flight. We were bumped onto this flight 2 weeks before departure as our original flight was cancelled. I don't know why South African airlines (in general, not SAA themselves) seem to need to change every flight that is ever made in advance!. Club was full and this ...

on: B737-500
This was the return leg of the CPT/DUR I have reviewed the Traveller class for. This time we were able to purchase an upgrade to Club for ZAR500 which seemed worth it. Again the flight was rammed full. We were very lucky to have 1D/F with no one sat between us (every other club row had seat E ...

on: B747-400 Mid J
I'm reviewing both outward and inbound flights together as pretty much everything was the same. Boarding was good, but not perfect. On both occassions I asked to pre board. Outward they didn't say and by the time we got there, all lines were open. On return they did remember but we boarded 30 ...

on: B747-400 High J
So far, and not having tried every layout, the 747-400 is my favourite BA First product. It is looking "tired" now, which is exaggerated by how fresh "new" Club World is but i was recently lucky to be invited to test the new First product due for roll-out from March 2009 and i have to say it is ...
