I’m about to do my 30th First. Whilst there are occasional niggles they are just that, niggles, rather than “I’m never flying BA again” sorts of issues.

I’ve always felt looked after, never had a glass go dry, only once in memory not had my first choice of food, usually had a good night’s sleep, been satisfied with the food and drink choices, and overall enjoy the space and privacy compared to CW. I’ve flown Qantas in First too, and whilst there are some elements that were better (best sleep I’ve ever had, that seat is excellent), and I liked the chauffeur service, the reality is that, for me at least, the routes I take if I want to earn TP / Avios then BA is usually the best choice for a direct flight from London.

Maybe I’m not as fussy about the little stuff like being shown to seat (I’ve never failed to find a seat in all my years of flying), and I’m not afraid to use the call button if I want something, but I think on the whole the service I get on BA in First is good.
