Heard the seats were grim, but I thought I would give it a shot. I am generally OK with BA but havent any experience with them TATL, and a 744 is the only option from DEN.
A window seat on the UD of the 744 is a pretty good experience in my opinion (and certainly the best BA J experience). Is it worth the extra $700? Probably not. But I do find there is something special (maybe nostalgic) about flying on the UD. And it’s probably not going to be around for that much longer, so it’s probably worth doing at least once.
