Toiletries are provided from Aromatherapy Associates London, in common with the amenity kit. Many of those with First Class cabins have had to evolve that product even further into suites, to provide differentiation. These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent. Better still, with both passengers in row 1 also opting to sleep, there was no foot traffic at all in the forward section. There are also 14 seats each evening on a 777-300ER service from Singapore to Sydney. No, seat selection in First Class is complimentary. The crew on this flight were good, without being excellent. On BA flights in First Class I’ve flown on in the past if the cabin is not full, the crew will usually offer to make up your bed in an empty adjacent seat. British Airways, the largest user of the type in passenger operation, is refurbishing around 17 aircraft and keeping them in service well into the 2020s. We were flying on one of the non-refitted aircraft with the oldest system, a (very) Standard Definition 15.4″ screen with only around 20 movies available. This goes all the way to bed mode if required. It doesn’t look much but was a very tasty start to the meal. So no salt and pepper squid on this occasion. That’s more than enough for a return First class flight to Tel Aviv, on an off-peak date. Out of these cookies, the cookies that are categorized as necessary are stored on your browser as they are as essential for the working of basic functionalities of the website. The dream ticket meant if you bought a companion ticket you would get a heavily discounted fare at around £2000 per person return, however when adding car hire, the price dropped to £1800 per person return, and you could pay with a deposit, allowing you to spread the cost until 5 weeks before departure. It wouldn’t be the last time we stood in a queue that day, so if anything it was good practice! British Airways As part of this initiative, the airline has just unveiled a series of refinements to its first-class service. Now I don’t mind other people using the closet but show some respect to other peoples belongings. T he British Airways Concorde Room at its London Heathrow Terminal 5 hub is the airline’s most exclusive lounge, catering only for BA First Class passengers and Concorde Room cardholders.. We passed through prior to a First Class flight to Washington to see how it compares with other First Class lounges we’ve tried. It’s a good selection of products in an attractive toiletries bag, which is ideal to reuse in future. I must say it wasn’t the best beef fillet I’ve had on board an aircraft, and certainly didn’t live up to my recent experiences of similar dishes with Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific in First Class, but it was good. Only it hadn’t really commenced. This category only includes cookies that ensures basic functionalities and security features of the website. And the boarding experience is spot on. It’s probably a good time to discuss where in the 14-seat First Class cabin we had chosen to sit, and which seats you should aim for if you’re going to be flying it. So greedy to cram so many seats. Review: Qantas A380 First Class It’s terrible that a system like this is still around and sadly will be around for 3 more years it seems. Again presentation was very nice. , About to take off on a 5 star airline, looking bac, This error message is only visible to WordPress admins, By using this website, you agree to our use of our, Rabbit and ham hock terrine, quince and carrot chutney, mustard spiced celeriac puree, Warm truffle linguini with chervil crème fraîche and shaved cheese, Cream of Nettle soup with smoked almonds and watercress, Fresh seasonal salad with a choice of Dijon mustard dressing or Blue cheese dressing, Seared fillet of British beef, Café de Paris butter, grilled Portobello mushroom, slow roasted tomato and roasted charlotte potatoes, Roasted halibut, pickled wild mushrooms, kohlrabi, apple and sorrel salad with Oscietra beurre blanc, Wild boar tortellini with ratatouille, crispy capers, tarragon and black olives, Crispy polenta, roasted onion squash with parmesan cream buttered spinach and chestnut, Main course salad of sticky Szechuan beef with truffle glass noodles, enoki mushrooms and white sesame seeds, Chocolate Hazelnut Slice & Earl Grey Curd Kit. The journey was actually quick and we arrived at gate B45 just 10 minutes later, 30 minutes before departure time. It wasn’t particularly clear where the First Class passengers should wait, and seeking assistance from one of the gate staff met with a rather curt response with us being directed to the back of the ‘Group 2&3’ queue. On this flight with only eight First Class passengers there was never a queue. Best British Airways first-class seats on a Boeing 747. First, we went to the Qantas lounge. The air conditioning on the 20-year old 747 was also apparently not coping well on the ground in the British summer weather, which the pilots acknowledged and promised would improve once the engines were running. To commence the meal service, once our table had been set up the crew came round with a bread basket and cute little packs of salted butter from Netherend Farm in Gloucestershire. Even discounted Business Class fares can be upgraded. But that’s if it works or if the staff even knows if there is a WiFi on that flight. In summary, over 6000 tier points this year due to frequent first class flights on BA so I can say that the value for money is VERY POOR. Given its a more direct route, there is less hassle with an ex-EU itinerary, there is also no chance of a missed connection, and there are no long layovers as is the case for the current OSL-CPT deal with Qatar Airways. I would be inclined to stick with the direct First class flight option. These planes also feature slightly larger touchscreen IFE systems in First Class. I flew British Airways First Class onboard a Boeing 747-400 on their flight from Chicago to London Heathrow. One thing that you should know is that not all First Class British Airways products are made equal. The crew came round with a menu for the flight. Bucharest is pretty much a zoo in the morning but the Club Europe check-in was fine and we had our cases checked in all the way to New York as we were stopping overnight. A large table extends from the side console. The middle pairs themselves, seats 4 E/F and 5 E/F are also good for couples, but space feels a lot tighter back here and you miss out on the attractive window blinds at the A and K seats. I tried a glass of the English sparkling wine from Cornwall, and would certainly recommend it. We were shown to our seats by the crew, who were friendly and welcoming but did seem a little flustered. It’s certainly not comparable to the space available for the same setup in Cathay’s 777 First Class (see our review) or the Qantas A380 First Class (see our review). Error: API requests are being delayed for this account. The one thing I’ve found recently is the chocolate tray seems only to be brought out on request. Paying for Internet in first class is also a bad joke. I called You First, and they apologised and offered 5000 Avios each as a service recovery offer. There are no overhead lockers in the middle section of the cabin ceiling in First Class, so if you do select a middle seat be aware that you will have to use the lockers above the A and K seats for your bags. The style here is incredible, the soft furnishing and the light fittings give it a very warm and homely feel. Boarding had not commenced and banks of queues had already formed. As you can see from the dinner menu for example, almost every dish has a regional UK influence or ingredient. The single power socket at each First Class seat is at floor level, which isn’t ideal as it becomes inaccessible when the seat is in bed mode. Unfortunately British Airways has not significantly changed its Business Class or First Class seats for 10 years, leading to even their most expensive seats now resembling a Business Class product on many other airlines. Top picks: 1A, 1K (Image courtesy of British Airways) The first-class cabin is in the nose of the Queen of the Skies and features 14 seats. The gate for our flight was only displayed on the screen in the lounge 45 minutes before departure time. Now that same product, which BA is still flying, doesn't even qualify as the best business class out there. BA certainly pushes the ‘local’ supply of items on their menu strongly. Later in the review we take a full look at the dining options offered on this evening flight to Washington. Starting October 27, 2019, the refit planes will begin flying once daily between New York-JFK and London-Heathrow.. BA177: London (LHR) to New York (JFK), departing 1:00pm … BA first class is also a big step up in comfort from BA business as well. Lots of them. The amenity kit provided is by the designer department store Liberty London, with toiletries by Aromatherapy Associates London. The lady at the spa reception didn’t care and said I need to take it up with British Airways. The window blinds in particular, which sit behind a perspex screen and completely black out the light from the two windows at each A or K seat, are very ‘business jet’. Having flown British Airways several times in Club World and First, once thing you tend to notice is that the crew are quite inconsistent. This is mainly considering the cost of the ticket and comparing to ‘proper’ carriers (Asian or Gulf)… I Almost have to apologise for asking for a drink if its not during meal time. We have to rate it as a First Class seat however, among competitors in 2018/19, and in that case the shortcomings mean BA First simply falls well behind in the rankings. Not a problem of course, we aren’t all that precious about being first on the plane, but the way it was arranged just didn’t feel very ‘First Class’ to us. To cut a long story short the situation progressed for over an hour, blamed on the air traffic control slot, followed by a passenger visa paperwork issue for the US authorities, followed by another air traffic control delay, then continued visa issues. In terminal 3, there are several lounge options that you can choose from: AA First class lounge (I don’t know why anyone goes here), BA First class Lounge (pre-flight dining for First passengers and spa), CX First class lounge (a la carte dining and the best views). Remember to pre-book a Cabana in advance through YouFirst! The all in one rotary switch means you are unable to control individual parts of the seat, but it does make it extremely simple to use. This while, not a problem boarding, it is a problem disembarking as it means premium economy and business class passengers get off before First Class passengers. Sounds like you’ll have a nice flight coming up – enjoy it and the Concorde Room. British Airways 747 First Class and Concorde Lounges at JFK & LHR in October 2019 Boarding was through door 2, but on these old 747’s which are used on leisure routes, premium economy sits between business and first. Finally there’s the newest version, unique to the 787-9. We did have to specify this though as she offered to check them all the way through to Phoenix. British Airways’ 747 first class cabin is dense, as it has 14 seats. This was followed by cream of Nettle soup, Beef fillet and Warm Apricot pudding. As the toilets are both located at the rear left side of the First Class cabin, and the galley is also at the back, there is almost zero foot traffic at the very front. In First Class though, it seemed ok. Slightly warmer than usual but perfectly bearable. So when given the opportunity with the British Airways Dream Tickets offer to Cape Town (July 2018) I jumped at the chance to fly in 1A for a trip I was planning for January 2019 and given time is quickly running out to fly on the 747 I decided to go ahead and book this ticket. It’s a welcome addition and we’re pleased to see it back. Does the product deserve to be labelled in these ways though? Eddie opted for the Asparagus with soft poached quail egg. Unfortunately they don’t feature on the slightly newer two versions of BA’s First Class seat, as installed on the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787-9. The menu for the main meal was as follows: An amuse bouche was served before the starter, which was a pleasant surprise. Whilst nearly all of the older planes have been refurbished, the difference between the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 777 can be significant. Group numbering has helped a bit, but it seems that waiting for a correct number to be called is still a problem for some people. 100% spot on that! The IFE was the worst, it was old and grainy with limited choice. The cabin is the most dense of BA’s first-class cabins, but there is something special about being in the nose of a Boeing 747. Note that the daily 777-200 service from Bangkok to London does not feature a First Class cabin. We didn’t have room for dessert, but there’s always room for cheese so rather than deliberate over the menu again, we shared a plate with ‘a bit of everything’, as suggested by the crew. British Airways has just announcedthat they’ll be introducing a refreshed experience in first class as of March 31, 2019. At the time I still felt like BA's first offered something approximating a first class product, even if it wasn't one of the better or flashier ones. The menu shows the options available. Even an indie film festival somewhere in the middle of the Gobi desert will have more interesting choices. The pilots kept us informed regularly but even they were beginning to sound exasperated by the situation towards the end! Otherwise, most passengers simply won’t know about it. It was a nice end to the meal and was served with grapes, chutney and a selection of biscuits. While the seat itself is only 22.5″ wide, the armrests automatically retract to bed level allowing some additional width. Check your inbox or spam folder to confirm your subscription. These are probably the next best seats in this cabin because of the huge space between them. Of course you could argue that you shouldn’t have to do that with First Class, and we certainly wouldn’t disagree with that opinion either. Not much better than business and I think the crew are generally lazy and unhelpful compared to Asian airlines. I have also been allocated 1A on a last-minute redemption booking a couple of days before departure, only because all the other seats in the cabin were occupied, so it’s possible to ‘get lucky’. The socket is too loose to snug it. We started off extremely early in Bucharest for our flight to Heathrow so we didn’t have the usual BA First check-in experience from Heathrow. Hi Lara, thanks for the kind comments. All Airbus A380s, Boeing 747s and most Boeing 777s in the British Airways fleet have a First Class cabin. As part of this, they’ll offer new bedding, amenities, and menus, “that would not look out of place in a revered five-star British hotel” (I love the way they describe that… hah). The cabin offers the most space and the most privacy at the front, in rows 1 and 2. We both enjoyed a good few hours sleep and skipped the pre-landing refreshment, which was basically sandwiches / cake with tea or coffee (or Champagne!). First dining is dine-on-demand, and you can choose whenever you want to eat. They are very private as no other passengers are able to see into your seat area, unlike the solo window seats (A and K) further back, which are slightly overlooked by the middle pairs. On this flight it was air-dried ham, salami, cheese, olives and sun-dried tomato. The champagne was none other than Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle a very smooth drop indeed and not cheap at the average price of £120 a bottle. (Photo: British Airways) Then there’s a version unique to the A380 which features around 50% more personal space (but effectively has the same seat). The management has a lot of work to do to attract high paying customers, I mean having the hassle of paying for WiFi is an absolute nonsense in first class, you make your own bed , I had to go ask them for a drink when I got on, all for a bottle of water etc while they stand around gossiping. Awsine review BTW. It took about 15 minutes from joining the queue at the First Wing to completing the process. We’ll also take a close look at these later in the review. By now you’ve probably guessed it. After that, I went to the Elemis spa in the BA lounge, where I had booked a treatment via the British Airways You First team for myself and my partner. The crew were absolutely fantastic on this flight and were personal and attentive. However, on this flight, a passenger from row 5 came all the way to the front and with complete disregard for anyone else’s belongings dumped his 20kg case right on my bag. And god forbid you don’t go to sleep when it’s “bed time” and walk to the galley and ask for a drink or a snack as you can’t sleep and watching a movie… They’ll give you the evil look. My conveyance of choice was a Boeing 747-400 operated by British Airways. Flight Review: British Airways 747 First Class Heathrow To America (SFO) In "Reviews" My preference when I fly First Class from San Francisco (SFO) to London Heathrow (LHR) is always the A380, however, there was no space available on this plane so I booked my return flight on the 747. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. (Photo: Live and Let’s Fly) Finally there’s the newest version, unique to the 787-9. Service is bad most of the time. We did enjoy a Gin and Tonic from the Gin bar, where I got to try Aviation Gin for the first time, and I’d totally recommend it. The galley and toilets are at the back of this cabin, so the crew and passengers had no need to walk forward beyond row 3 for several hours. But the one thing I love the most about flying first class with BA is the ability to have a proper espresso-based coffee rather than just horrible brown water. We’ve had fantastic service (on a 777 First Class flight from Sydney to Singapore), where the crew were warm, friendly, engaging and nothing was too much trouble. New posts will not be retrieved. Overall it was a great flight, the friendly and chatty crew really made the trip enjoyable. Slippers are available on request, but they were not proactively offered so we’re not sure how most passengers would be aware. Yes absolutely. British Airways Boeing 787-9 First Class (Image Credit: British Airways) BA has 18 787-900 aircraft in service. Which in turn, means you are pretty far back at the immigration queue by the time you get there. One thing that reviewers (who usually use points) often neglect to point out when referring to BA first class as Business Plus is that the cost of BA first class seats are usually thousands (USD) below the cost of first class seats on airlines that offer more “bling.” A BA first class ticket round trip Austin/Johannesburg was 4K less than Lufthansa first class (second cheapest on that route) in October 2019. Given that a one-way First Class ticket from London to Washington on BA sells for around £9,000 (S$15,750), we think it’s reasonable to at least be offered the option. However, I never had the opportunity to fly First class in the nose of the 747 until now. The purser was “pretty sure” there will be WiFi on the flight. On the Boeing 747-400s, British Airways First Class crams in 14 open seats into the nose of the plane. The cook was medium, again a little too done for my taste. 90% of cases they have no clue and tell you to “check after we take off”. The Captain then made an announcement apologising for the delay, apparently the aircraft had arrived at the gate late and then there was a catering delay, which led to delayed boarding. It was good, however the presentation was a bit of a let down here in terms of the quail egg, a typical airline catering ‘fail’! Since we were busy snapping photos we were reminded by the staff who scanned our boarding cards not to take any pictures of the security area itself, for obvious reasons. Now would I pay £4500 for this? Review: Emirates New 777-300ER First Class Suites The toilets themselves are absolutely standard size and not finished much differently than you would expect in Economy Class. The first three row of seats are configured in a 1 X 1 layout but rows 4 and 5 are configured in a 1 X 2 X 1 layout. “Business +”, “J +” and “The best Business Class in the sky” are among the less complimentary descriptions of BA’s most prestigious cabin. Would I pay £1800 or less for a 12hr flight? The final stage of the First Wing, for many passengers at least, is the corridor from the security screening area into the Galleries First lounge. See also: I flew on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Doha, for clarity. However, I have done this before and while its always my first preference, given the size and comfort of the A380, on this occasion I chose to fly the 747 since its getting close to the end of its life now and there will be fewer opportunities to fly the Queen of the skies in the future. What a delight to know this information before you fly someone. It’s a nice touch to be offered a drink, then progressively be offered a menu, then amenities a few minutes later etc. We flew British Airways First Class with 2 kids - from Chicago to London Heathrow on the BOAC Boeing 747! Indeed some passengers actually prefer 2A and 2K over row 1 for this reason, especially if flying alone. When booking I had the option of flying also on the A380 to Johannesburg and then connecting to a BA Comair flight down to Cape Town. So I was fortunate enough to have a first class booking a few days after the new service started and here are a few of my thoughts... And lots of pictures! We chatted together at seat 2A using the ottoman seat without much concern as we were heading straight to the hotel on arrival in Washington for our first night, with no dinner plans given the late arrival time and the fact we’d eat on board. Have switched to Lufthansa (newer B747-8 and now A350s). I decided I would eat soon after we took off so I could maximise sleep. British Airways looks set to follow its mid-2019 launch of new Club World business class seats with the reveal of new first class suites.. If you want to read more about BA's B787 First cabin try this review. Don’t mean to be fussy but honestly for the money it’s just not worth it. The big problem with seats 1A and 1K on the 747 are that there is no overhead storage space, so you have to use the closet. I have flown on the 747 13 times according to myflightradar24 and flying on the upper deck of a 747 is a great experience, its like flying in your own little private jet. British Airways first class dinner — classic mule. We went with row 2, seats 2A and 2K. In most cases the wardrobe is full with boxes storing extra cups or towels or whatever. In total I earned 480 Tier Points and 42,134 Avios being an Executive Club Gold member; also, I received a bonus 3603 Avios for making the booking through BA holidays with car hire and an extra 5000 each for service recovery. We also received invitatio… We thought it was quite nice that these items weren’t rushed, or waiting at our seat from boarding for example. The Boeing 787-9 also features First Class, but the smaller Boeing 787-8 does not. While this is fine, you would think other passengers would accept this and not try and use it, after all, they have overhead bins to use. The good news is that the crew remained attentive and our Champagne was continually topped up during the delay. Most people won’t want to be sitting there for long, and some larger passengers will find it practically impossible. Is it still worth booking first class vs business class? They are electrically controlled, can be stopped at intermediate positions, and incorporate mood lighting controlled by the cabin crew based on phase of flight. I know you can get this in business class with some airlines like Qatar, but it can sometimes be prolonged given the size of the cabin, but with only 14 passengers on the 747 it makes it much faster, and the crew are more proactive in offering to make you another. I went for the smoked salmon starter. We took the opportunity after dinner to get a few hours sleep prior to landing in Washington. Being in the nose of the plane in Seats 1A and 1K gives the most incredible perspective where you can see almost facing forward. We don’t. Maybe we were unlucky with the time of day, but queuing just to join a First Class check in area, whose private security channel leads you into a lounge you aren’t even destined for, doesn’t make much sense. They are good quality but we didn’t try them, as we both prefer to bring our own clothes to sleep in on flights. Booking – BA First Class 777. But opting out of some of these cookies may have an effect on your browsing experience. This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website. The new look and feel, set to take to the skies from March 31, will include new bedding, amenities and menus that would not look out of place in a revered five-star British hotel. If like us you’re departing from London Heathrow, you’ll be eligible to check in at the new British Airways ‘First Wing’ at the far south end of Terminal 5 in Zone J. Drop-off by car should be at door 5 (the last door). British Airways offers this option in their First Class cabin, with the exception of the Boeing 787-9 where it is unfortunately not possible due to the fixed position of the IFE screen. It’s worth noting the noise level at this point. But when its Cape Town I think everyone is happy to be going there even the crew, so you always get a happy crew on that flight. This was a cold prawn with a mousse and jelly. At the time of booking my flights, an option to fly from Amsterdam to Cape Town at £1500 per person return in business was the best option other than the First class offer from London. While in its prime it was an advanced product which stood up well to competition in the market, airlines around the world have progressed increasingly to 1-2-1 flat-bed seating layouts in Business Class. So when given the opportunity with the British Airways Dream Tickets offer to Cape Town (July 2018) I jumped at the chance to fly in 1A for a trip I was planning for January 2019 and given time is quickly running out to fly on the 747 I decided to go ahead and book this ticket. We got the impression this late gate assignment and delayed boarding through a single door was all a bit of a last minute change for them too. Some of BA’s refitted 747-400s are now Wi-Fi equipped. One of the only airlines that still have the horrible sink and tap where you can onky wash one hand at a time as the tap is “one click” and you have to keep pressing it to use, while squeezing you hand under the miniature tap.
