5. How are the legrests?
6. Which way should we get WT+, and is it worth it? (I will be travelling with my grandmother). It is an extra 200 pp each way

Thanks

1. For me excellent, YMMV.

2. 747 to BOS, as you will get off the plane after the F pax, very handy for the passport/immigration queues.

3. T5 is okay and a delightful place compared to BOS E. On the other hand BOS E is a nasty experience that they've improved somewhat with the rebuilding. But you should be grateful that they've improved it.

4. In PE (on VS) probably, but that's subjective and BA are catching up fast with better food etc. in WT+. Not sure about Y though sorry.

5. Alright.

6. Depends, I'd say yes but then I'd be after the extra tier points as well as the seats. Do you have any miles, as you could be in Club World for 20,000 each if you splashed the £400 to pay for WT+ assuming there are seats?
