AA vs. BA JFK-LHR Business
As the title explains I have a trip upcoming in September from JFK-LHR and was wondering if its better to go AA or BA. I am an AAdvantage Platinum member shooting for Exec Platinum this year.
I am flying the red eye going so comfort of bed is the most important thing to me.
Also, if you think BA is better do you prefer the 747 or the 777?
Thanks!

I agree. I am actually able to sleep on BA's seats, which are fully flat. Three glasses of champagne also help.

Very old post, but figured I'd comment anyway.
AA product is still very old (at least based on my 2 recent legs), doesn't fully recline and has a 2-3-2 configuration...i.e. no privacy.
The power outlets are all DC, so unless you have your car adapter with you you can't get power!
