Wow.

AA blows away BA catering. It's not even close. In fact any US carrier J food is far better.
Thanks Envirojan. I can't deny that I got the worst BA meal in the past 5 years.

AA is much better is pretty much all aspects (better seat 787, catering and crew).

I would not be surprised if the flight was schedule to leave past midnight. But leaving at 8;30 pm with 13h to go. It's unacceptable.

Thanks m3red. I'm gonna wait the improvements to make another Club booking.
The only thing great was the direct service to get a straight rest.

Unless I'm wrong the new seat is due in 2018/9.
However BA is gonna change the catering provider soon (they picked DC&CO). We can expect great thing from them.

You're right, it all depends on what the price is that you're paying. For what it was going to cost us (going to North America) for an extra £600 we could go to Australia!
GA is cheap to OZ in J from LHR. You should take a look.

Yes. New seat in a couple of years + better pillow+duvet and blanket in Club with a new catering provider.

I doubt BA can catch up with QR. If BA can be as good as AF, I would be happy.
