Only had the pleasure once so far, bit the most striking aspect [apart from aisle access everywhere] was the various places you could put things. Side shelf, cupboard, under the footrest, and wasn't there a mini wardrobe as well, with an interior light for the shoe part? ... there were places everywhere where people could lose things. ISTR there was even a 'bottle pocket' in the corner of the seat. Comfort ... wider across the upper body, although the 'foot-socket' was slightly constraining. Not that I noticed any problem, as I was sleeping soundly for 5 hours [LAX-LHR] without having to cuddle my bottle of water and stow Kindle etc back in the overhead.

I thought it was brilliant, but then with a 1-2-1 config it should be. BA just crams too many seats into the available space, IMO, without leaving anything left over for 'customer convenience'.
