Seat31A
FromAustin - Austin-bergstrom International (AUS)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
The underseat storage for this seat is partially blocked by something, probably the wifi box or something like that, so just know that if you have a larger personal item it might not fit even if it's the right dimensions.

The Embraer 190 isn’t the best plane (the WC is seriously tiny) but seat 2C/D are exceptional as they oddly have a massive amount of legroom in front of them. I couldn’t touch the wall.
Excellent cabin crew on our flight. Being 08:10 departure we had breakfast. Nice bacon omelette, fruit, yoghurt, roll with 3 glasses of champagne and fizzy water. then a sleep!

Seat67k
FromJohannesburg - Oliver Reginald Tambo International (JNB)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
On seeing my seat 67k for the first time I was amazed at how much leg room there was and how much width there was in the seat, and I'm a guy of 120kg. I prefer window seats and mine was perfectly aligned although the wing blocked my view of the ground. Next time I will try and get a seat at the front of Premium Economy. Loved the window bin's as you can stow cushions, head phones etc. for later. The ride is so quiet and smooth you can rest your drink on the lid of the bin and there's no vibration. I love the A380 and will always choose upstairs because of the 2- 3- 2 configuration and Premium Economy.

Seat25B
FromLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
ToCape Town - Cape Town International (CPT)
I flew back from LHR to CPT on BA59 in Premium Economy for the first time on an A350 (I have flown many times in 747s and 777s) and - apart from the fact that the plane is apparently 19" less wide than a 777 which was bad enough trying to navigate the aisle - found that when I got to my seat 25B the overhead locker cannot be used because it's full of the paraphernalia required for the baby bassinets. I had to rapidly steal some other passengers' locker space, as did those people in 25A, J and K. This is totally ridiculous and I'd be very grateful if you could warn other potential passengers via your seating plan for the plane of this stupidity

I can categorically state that there is absolutely no way I'll fly up from CPT on BA again - well at least in PE (I'm too tall to go in economy unless I get a legroom seat which is very unlikely these days) - because even if I get none of those four seats, I'll be fighting other passengers for the locker space around them!
Also, there are no toilets in the PE section so you have to find your way through a bit of Economy which is difficult in the middle of the night.
Finally - and this is a criticism of all BA's PE sections - the seat recline is too much. I know BA were trying hard, but it's a bit like being in economy where the passenger in front of you decides to recline the full way and you end up with your supper on your lap, and even a broken wineglass!

Seat3E
FromLHR
ToSingapore - Changi (SIN)

The most comfortable flight I've had for a long time. I actually managed to get a decent sleep and the 14 hour flight flew by (no pun intended). The feature that allowed my wife to join me for a sociable dinner from her seat 3F is a nice touch, the service was friendly, proffesional, and attentive without being intrusive. Noise levels in the cabin were low at all times. No score on the IFE as I used the excellent free WiFi and my own tablet to stream entertainment. Food was of a decent standard and the drink excellent and plentiful.

Seat3A
FromPhoenix - Sky Harbor Intl (PHX)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
Chalk and cheese. I flew out with AA on 777-200 (review already posted) and back with BA A350. I have flown all the widebodies except the A340 and I really like this plane. Quiet and spacious. The BA Club Suite is pretty much the same as the AA B/E seats apart from the door so no real difference. A comfortable seat with plenty of storage and legroom. The service however was poles apart. AA was adequate service, reasonable food and poor wine and you felt they were just going through the motions. The BA crew were really attentive, friendly and efficient, the food was well above normal for airline and the wine selection good. It felt more like BA in the good old days.

Seat51f
FromLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
ToMiami - Miami International Airport (MIA)
Went to terminal 5 b lounge excellent looking food.
Boarded plane and divider between 51j and rear facing seat broken could not be mended so other passenger was moved. 51 j has passenger crossing over legs to get out but not 51 f.Very good food and excellent service.
Best seats for no one stepping over are row 56

Seat83A
FromSan Francisco, CA - San Francisco International (SFO)
ToLondon - London Heathrow (LHR)
Was first sitting at 81K, but the cabin was quite empty, so i moved over to 83A because of the better window view. Seats in 80 do not have a window. In 81 one window is right behind the front seat, so you have to bend forward. The other one is in the middle of the seat. On 83A the window position was good. Legroom because of that metal box sucks. But there is still enough space to put each feet.
