Trip Reports - Dec07/Jan08 BA31 LHR-HKG in Business/Club+ F lounge visit

This would be a pictorial report as usual. The photos are mainly from my previous 2 BA31 flights in Dec and Jan. The focus would be on LHR T1 and the latest generation of Club World seat (NNCW). Hope you guys would enjoy it and please feel free to leave some comments.

To be continued....

This flight is operated by mid-J configuation (52J) 744. The layout is F>Y+>J>Y,which is weird. Business Class pax has to share the gallery with Y+ passengers.

AVOD, but IFE is still the weakest point of BA as the program was the same in Dec and Jan.

I managed to get good sleep on both flights. 62K is slightly better than 64K as there is more legroom and no noise from the gallery. The Inflight Service Manager did come to greet me on Jan’s BA31. We had a nice chat and he gave me a set of FIRST Class pyjama. Regarding to the new Club seat, I told him everything is fine, except the IFE system. Besides the IFE, I would prefer flying with BA rather than CX in Business Class. Thanks for reading.

Great report... Although im a big *A supporter i may just give BA NNGCW a go on my next LHR-LAX flight.

One of the best photo reports I've seen. Very enjoyable. ^

Many thanks for posting this TR ny911 ^

I thoroughly enjoyed looking through the pictures!

An absolutely fabulous report. Congratulations... BA club really is in a class by itself.....

I thoroughly enjoyed your photo report! kudos!

Great photo report.

Really good report, photos are so much better than words.

great report !! Thanks !! ^

Excellent report.

Wow, great photos -- especially since I haven't flown BA yet, this was very informative visually. Thanks for the report!

Thanks for sharing! I think I like BA's bed than NZ's bed more. :)

Nice report and great pictures!
