You know, posts like this come up from time to time and well, they sort of annoy me really. If I based my expectation on these posts I would imagine a business cabin with people struggling to get in and out of their seats all through the flight!!
I don't needless to say. ON night flights I generally sleep for most of the flight and on day flights only very occasionally do i have to step over anyone
And lets have a bit of respect for that layout- it was January 2000 when the first gen bed was launched - 14 years ago. And guess what - people marvelled at how BA could create so much space for individual beds.
Slowly other carriers launched their business beds, mostly angled lie flat with a box for that part of your legs below the knee that had to fit under the seat in front (bruised calves etc.)
BA then launched NGCW, same basic design but a more robust product and better partitioning for those that want it.
And some carriers still haven't yet got a guaranteed flat bed product across their fleet yet.
And if you are enjoying CX or JL or QF or even new AA which I accept have a nice herringbone layout (or heaven forbid the gypsy caravan that is EK) then spare a thought for the BA product - without which we may all still be sitting in cradle seats!!
