How Does the New Seat Compare to Club World
All,
I would really like to hear about your experiences with the new J seat. I am planning a trip and wasn't sure if I should fly EI J or BA Club World. Have any of you tried both. I am in San Francisco, so BA would be the A380 to LHR. Thanks!

If you are traveling alone 2A or 4A would be a better choice. A seats are staggered and the even number ones are slightly more secluded.

Just booked this for a trip to NYC in August, really looking forward to it. Doing Club World in October so will be interesting to compare the two - I expect that the Aer Lingus seats will spoil me, especially as I managed to get the "Captain Kirk" seats for both legs! Arrivals lounge will be useful too.

??? huh, They will treat you like any other passenger. Crew do not discrimination based on age, appearance, clothes etc. Other pax will mind their own business. Unless of course you are obnoxious or causing trouble.
