As one of the FlyerTalkers who flew with Craig6z, I'd say I was a bit more impressed with World Traveler Plus. Our final assessment does seems to be in sync-- i.e. I would pay about $150 extra each way for the upgrade.

WT+ would never be confused for luxury. It is, however, a comfortable way to travel. For me, the difference between WT+ and WT- is the difference between being miserable or comfortable for several hours. I like the seat and its pitch & width. The legrest is fairly worthless. Recline is not a big deal for me. I found the dedicated WT+ cabin makes a difference as well. It lacks the cattle car ambience found in back.

I found BA's inflight service to be lacking. The cabin crews were subpar and the catering wasn't very good. Definitely preorder the seafood or Asian vegetarian special meal.

United's Economy Plus doesn't compare. It isn't really a seperate cabin nor does it have extra seat width-- it is basically just extra pitch. Of course, Economy Plus is available at no extra charge to Premier or full-fare passengers.
