padding/cushioning. It gets very uncomfortable after about 8 hours.
have a Olympic strength bladder (if you can get a drink - see below). There are b few loos and the crew try and lock out the one by galley
food and drinks are chronically slow. BA has shrunk galley space and put more sears in. Combine that with narrow aisles and tray served good and for even a good crew tye good service is slow.
frankly you might be better off with a good seat in old club.
Having flown it for a few flights, I didn’t find it any more dense than other carriers with similar layouts. Also didn’t find the seat to uncomfortable on an 8.5hr flight, which meant being in seat for over 9 hrs when you add boarding, taxi etc.
the number of toilets are also not noticeably different from other aircraft. At least 2 flights were on the new 777-300 configure, both had full club cabins and don’t recall having any issues with toilet wait times. On any aircraft, there is always an issue when crew announce the 40 mins to landing when everyone suddenly decides they need the toilets but outside of that, I’m yet to see any issue.
If it’s not for you, then so be it. Many are happy with the club suite.
