Given what I have read on this forum with the very varying quality/service on CE (haven't done CE for a few years now), I was wondering what to expect on a band 4 CE so I have realistic expectations and write my trip report accordingly?
Thanks for the tips/advice!
You might want to look at Agean -- I believe the seat pitch for business class is 33 inches vs. 30 inches on the A32x types, and as mentioned, if you get a 767 there the side seats are both sold, so you don't get an open seat next to you.

As others have said, details available through the dashboard.
How are other people's reports "skewed?"
Do you think people dump dirt at their seat and rip up lounge furniture for photo ops?
In fact, BA insiders have told us BA management knows they have to improve the cleanliness of planes and upgrade inflight offerings in CW. We know they wouldn't be doing if it wasn't an issue, so it really makes your assertion nonsense.

I take issue with others offering third hand experiences (in common with many others here) when in reality that increases forum bias; I'm sorry to learn you feel your experience has been variable (or would you say very variable), all I can say is that my experience doesn't mirror that.
We also know sometimes people confuse their first-hand experiences as with your report during the first MF industrial action.
