Airplane seat reviews by Gordon Simpson

I don't think there are any particularly bad seats on this service. It seems to be used by many high status exec club members though and always busy so on check-in, we couldn't even sit together and everyone else was (rightfully) protective of their seat and wouldn't switch.

Excellent BA service as usual. Nice food. Not sure the seats have been designed with the IFE iPads in mind, especially during food service but it wasn't a huge deal.

BA001 with its pre-clearance at Shanon is a great benefit - they even have Global Entry terminals there so zero waiting before back on the plane then arrival at JFK domestic.

This flight to Chicago was my first flight with United and in their suite product. I have to say its not really up there with BA but it had a certain something that made it feel special. Friendly and somewhat ageing staff made the flight really pleasant. I'm not a fan of 777 layouts, especially for First Class. The 747-400 or new A380 make these suites feel much more exclusive
