British Airways Business Class
British Airways has two different seat styles depending on the aircraft, both are lie flat and very comfortable. The newer 1-2-1 configuration can be found on their boeing 777-300er aircraft and it is a beautiful product. The Club Suite are designed to provide maximum comfort and versatility and it doesn’t disappoint. The older style on the 787-dreamliners is still very comfortable, it is in a 2-3-2 configuration with some rear facing seats (same as on Etihad). If you are not expecting the reverse facing seats it can be a shock to the system but once you settle in you realise this style is excellent (possible even preferred) for single and larger groups of 3 or 5 travelling together) All passengers have direct aisle access in either configurations & we found the bed in the older configuration the most comfortable (contentious but true).
British Airways includes all the perks you would expect from a top tier airline and their service is fantastic.
