Whereas for LON-BLR, I believe they have a monopoly on non-stop flights and could probably afford to offer a sub-par product without impacting on margin/demand.
Unfortunately, by paying money to upgrade to WT+ (and your reason is very valid), BA are effectively being rewarded with extra cash for offering a poor product in Y.
In terms of WT+, you do get a wider and more comfortable seat, with more leg room and better food, with the first main course from the Club World menu.
May I ask why you chose to book with BA rather than other one-stop options such as Air France, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa or Jet Airways?
Another thing i noticed is WT no kits are provided to pax.
not expecting a bounty but was hoping for a sleeping mask at the least.
BA - had flown on BA on this sector a while ago. the BLR - LHR seemed to be a newer 777 and that a/c did have a better IFE and USB in WT. Also wanted to fly on the 787
EK - I felt the YYZ-DXB leg was too long esp on the return was too exhausting.
LH- next time gonna try this.
9W / Jet - some time as they recently started the AMS-BLR non stop. else YYZ-BLR was a 2 stop journey.
EY - I didnt like the EY service between AUH-BLR. Have done a couple of BLR-AUH-LHR and the AUH-BLR bad service and grumpy staff.
AF - never flown AF. Hows AF service and do they charge for check in bags or is it just for certain sectors / basic economy?
