Great video Lee, I have enjoyed all of your videos and find you to be very genuine and informative. Great content and thank you for all the insight into travelling with BA and the hints and tips about using Avios. The service offered in Club Europe these days is not a patch on what was offered in the past back in the good old day of BA Super Shuttle Service on domestic routes where everyone got a hot meal and bar service! Looking forward to seeing more videos in the future.
Thanks for watching! I bet it was great flying in those days, unfortunately airlines only really care about profit nowadays so overall service will never be what it used to be. Still always a great feeling to get to fly in business!
I have booked BA business class flight in July from China to LHR - First time I have used BA for around 7 years and I found this video most helpful in making my decision to try BA again - Thank you
My wife & I, 2 kids & 6 other family members are going from Glasgow to LAX in club world next month, it’ll be my first experience of the new suites & I’m really looking forward to it. We’re actually jumping on Ryanair from Glasgow to Dublin & starting our BA journey there because the pp ticket price was less than half that kicking off from Glasgow 🤷♂️ Enjoyed the video thanks.
Fantastic that’ll be a great trip! I have heard a few times now that going from Dublin can save a lot of money, will have to look at this myself as an option!
Flew club suite from LHR to Miami last year and experience on board same, however lounges last year were a disaster, glad to see they appear to have improved
The Club Suite is such a great improvement for BA business class, much better than current Lufthansa and also still better than Lufthansa's coming Allegris 🙂 Food also seems to have improved a lot since BA decided to hand over catering service to Do&Co.
Very pleased to have watched your video - I am travelling from Inverness to NZ with BA in business class via Singapore & Sydney where I change onto Qantas to Auckland. Going in 2.5 weeks & I am SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!! I hope my experience will be as good as yours. To be honest, I’ve always been very happy to fly the flag with British Airways 😁😁
Hi Lee - living in Manchester 21 years and holding an Irish Passport, it would perhaps make more sense for me if travelling on Transatlantic routes to fly Aer Lingus to Dublin to take advantage of US Customs and Immigration pre-clearance at Dublin and fly with Aer Lingus to Boston, JFK or LAX/SFO especially the latter - I would definitely take this westward option if travelling to Sydney or Auckland say for example on Qantas from LAX to Sydney for Sydney Pride or Auckland on Air New Zealand
Good vid and nice camera setup etc, just a shame you're promoting RFF. It's public knowledge in frequent flyer forums that they scrape the data off seatspy. The latter is much better and updated unlike the secondary data from RFF.
@@aimeeandleetravel Give seatspy a go, much better and the data is up to date. Where is your next trip to? I'm off to Boston in the next couple of months but it will be on a 737 as flying up from MEX
@@tgscott00 Currently my next trip is from Scotland down to London then onto Hong Kong as I am going to be traveling full time starting in SE Asia! Only a couple months to go. What airline is your flight with up to BOS?
Hong Kong is fabulous, you'll have a great time. Hope you enjoy the fulltime travel. I have to travel a lot for work and now I love being at home haha..I'll be on AA via NYC.
@@tgscott00 can’t wait for it! I have an AA short haul business class review coming out tomorrow! Possibly not a good watch if your flight is in business 🤣
We loved the new business class and would be thrilled to use this level of service always, unfortunately they still are using the OLD Business Class which is terrible, cramped and uncomfortable, that in our opinion is not worth it. This one is totally worth every penny. We are hoping that they convert all the old planes soon before our next flight.
I totally agree with you! If you get the new BC it’s amazing, old is terrible. I have heard of people booking the new and getting the old, poor situation. 🤞it’s not too long until the phase the old BC out completely!
That is exactly what happened to us, this last trip, going out wonderful and coming back -- JUNK and dirty...even the flight attendants were shocked @@aimeeandleetravel
BA club suites are so great. The problem with BA(coming from jfk to...) is that the 1st leg is always the new club suites then from lhr to dxb or Budapest or Ist they give you the a320 neo(economy) shitty Ying yang seats if 2nd leg is over 5 hrs
Yeah this is a massive issue, the inconsistency. I guess it’s an issue many airlines have however because BA’s old business class seat is so poor it makes it so much worse!
It's barely keeping up with the Jones' at this point for BA. Best thing they have are lounges and an efficient fleet. Pax experience at full price is ghastly. Still, I'll pay 20 cents on the dollar to take that seat.
Looks terrible 😅 at least the tea was OK!! Great trip benefitting from low tax originating Highlands... I keep missing the new club suite - fingers crossed it will turn up ! Thanks for putting this together
Yeah I have heard a lot about Inverness being low tax however the prices never seem to be any different than flying from say Aberdeen or Edinburgh. Strange. Hopefully you get a flight in club suite it really is a full step up from the older style business class!
For as long as they underprovision catering as a matter of policy, refuse to spend on IT maintenance and under staff customer services, so that customers are left stranded with zero support after non notice cancellations.... BA aka SpangloQatari airways (they're not actually British but the UK brand of a Madrid registered multinational) are Best Avoided. They simply don't care about customers, emplyee or the product. Some flights, where nothing goes wrong can be fine but if there are any issues, BA are as bad as a locost, which isnt helpful in a long haul destination.
They are improving imo with service onboard! Totally agree with horrendous IT systems and lack of customer service, maybe we can hope for improvement but I wont hold my breath!

bro this is one of the best BA reviews I have ever seen, you really should have 100 k subs
Thanks man, maybe one day!

Yacht fault lounges this time around, huge improvement on last couple of years!

Yeah it is massive improvement! Actually a really good competitive product now
Nice video. Did you mention the model aircraft?? Maybe I missed it.
I agree with you the door thing is just a gemic. But these are a HUGE upgrade from their old seats.
Very true and all in all they are really nice seats!

Hi Michael, thanks for watching. Going via Dublin is a popular choice, both for the pre-clear immigration and also the much lower APD.
The food in the lounge looked 👌 especially the rice 🍚
Food was awesome!
Fab video. Rice looked great
I am a big fan of rice myself

Thanks for watching! I didn’t realise that was the case, personally found it to be a good tool that helps me when booking avios flights.

The point is that they charge as though they were a competitive carrier
How many 777 and 787 they have left to put new seats as in 787 its outdated
I am honestly unsure on the numbers, I know a larger chunk of Heathrow 777’s have been fitted so far but I think the number of 787’s is very low.
10 mins of my time I won’t get back
Considering it was that bad I’m surprised you made it 10 mins! Thanks for watching
Bro clean up your mess at the buffet.
such a mess because you are more focused on filming than getting your rice. Not a pretty sight.
No rice was harmed in the making of this video
@@aimeeandleetravel In total lack of respect I see
Hey Lee, trying to find you on Instagram but having no luck. Have you changed your @?
@aimeeandleegotravelling is the handle now! Forgot to go back and change the description on the older videos!
