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.
100% this ^^^^^^
The new seat looks great on Instagram, but with the exception of the single traveller its a down grade IMHO, in bed mode is simply not as comfortable as the old club seats... there is a noticeable "lump" where the seat goes flat.
To add to the list, you can no longer sit together as couple and can barely talk to each other through the 1970s ktichen hatch that you can open between the middle seats, for couples its bad, but for families its worse, no idea why they didnt just modify the very popular qsuite... im actually happier in the old seat when i travel with wife/family..
I should say the bigger screen and storage is a great plus.. but thats it...
