The cabin lack-of-cleanliness is pretty shocking there. Can't excuse that on any airline. What is going on at BA that that aircraft was even allowed to depart, instead of being held for another 10 minutes while the cleaning crew worked on that (of course, the aircraft cleanliness was checked after cleaning was finished but before the cleaning crew left, so they don't have to be called back, yes)?
AA will also do you inedible waffles, so both airlines lose there.
Galleries Club full to the rafters over half term? That'll be the status holders with families. It only shows why letting status holders bring entire entourages into the lounge makes it unpleasant for all.
The BA/AA seat has been done to death here. You really have to ask which compromise you want: comfortable for everyone especially tall people without aisle access, or comfortable for only short/narrow people with aisle access, or unprofitably low density (AA aren't going to get any more of the Cirrus seats that their 777W has, they're far too unprofitable).
