Business Traveller is a rubbish site and Alex McWhirter is - without doubt - the worst professional writer I've ever read. I honestly can't believe he has that job.
Apologies for not pulling any punches but it's true.
AusBT, by contrast, is very good in my view.

Their forum has a few individuals who have nothing better to do with their time than start threads which allow them to slate BA. Very sad lives they must lead.

No slating of BA in this thread (yet).
I've just been waiting for an appopriate opportunity to slate Alex McWhirter, because I wouldn't want to start a thread purely for that purpose!

I always vote for BA in those Business traveller awards, just to give the whingers on here something additional to vent about.

I must say I have always found Alex (and Jenny Southan) to be quite well informed.

How could anyone give club world flight that is only 25% full a bad review?
I do want to visit Iran but I think I'll wait for now

I think their reviews are very balanced. The nutters in their forums on the other hand...
Clicked on to a forum thread about BA F - the same 1/2 dozen people saying the same whining stuff as they were last time i looked in about 4 years ago!!
