I find BA's New Club World bed to be too narrow at the shoulders (and the seat is narrow too) and when fully reclined I had to sleep on my side in an awkward position. I thought that this is what it must feel to be placed into a casket!!
You could fly BA First but the flat bed is only marginally wider than in New Club World but it is a fairly costly option.

Well if you thinkg BA's seats are narrow??? AC has 20" width? 60" Pitch..with a very very old seat... AC is not in the game anymore!

Hello and welcome to FT Reluctant Canadian...
AC has fallen badly behind, even when they ordered the NEW 345 aircraft they were in a monopoly and did'nt understand the "world" was changing... CCAA gave them a wakup call and hopefully they will become competitive in the business market.... Today it will have to be price... if you have the can buy AC's J seats cheap, that will make up for the 80's business class.. if you company pays for J... well you can see by the specs who has the better seats etc.
Go to FT and go to the BA site ask about the FF program.. most of us on this forum know little about BA's program.
