BA fully flat, more private. Qantas Skybed Mk 1 angled-lie flat, so any talk about BA being sloping compared to Qantas on 747 (at the moment) is nonsense.
Rubbish. BA seats ARE sloped, they are parallel to the aircraft floor, but the aircraft itself is flying at an angle. The angle of incidence is NOT zero degrees, so the seat itself is at an angle. If in one of the forward facing seats, your head will be below your feet. Ok if you are in a backward facing seat though.
Having flown on both BA and QF in J, and as somewhat who CANNOT sleep on aircraft (I can, however, doze, for 20 mins here, 30 mins there) I prefer QF over BA, the seat is far more comfortable in seat mode (which is what I use it for) and I can doxe far more effectively on QF than I can on BA. The soft product - catering and so on - is infinitessemilly better on QF as well.
Of course, YMMV.
