Greetings from a CO junkie! All of my travels are typically US domestic on CO, but like NNH I will be celebrating a honeymoon and would like to impress the new wife who has never been up front either (neither have I transatlantic). Our trip is LAX-LHR-VIE (5 days), with a continuation VIE-ATH-JTR (santorini for 9 days) and of course back. I have a few questions and was hoping to find some answers here.

Q1. I have been working through a broker who is able to secure a Club World/Club Europe ticket for a price of $3,495 RT each. Does this sound like a good deal considering I have been on the sight and have seen the purchase fares?

Q2. Is the NCW offered on all flights from LAX-LHR/LHR-LAX? If not, it would be helpful if you could provide the Flight #'s that are.

Q3. Are the IFE monitors equipped with AVOD or on demand features?

Q4. I notice that NCW offers the sleeper service. However, if you want to retain a seated position, but recline the back and lift the legs a little (lazy-boy style) does the seat offer a simple recline with adjustable leg rests rather than the entire sleep position? I guess similar to what is offered is most other International Business classes?

Q5. What is the meal situation? Is there a meal served in a terrace lounge which substitutes one for onboard or are there two meals onboard? I am a little confused with this. Any help would be great.

I have an option to take LH from LAX-FRA-VIE in their new Biz Class for $2,900. Please convince me the additional money spent on BA Club World is well worth it!

Thanks again for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it. Cheers!
Q1 - Yes that seems a good price

Q2 - All flights have NCW

Q3 - No AVOD

Q4 - There is no sleeper service from LAX that is only from the East Coast on late flights so you can maximinse your sleep time. The NCW seat goes from recline to fully flat (Horizontal) and you can stop it whereever you like in between

Q5 - You will get two meals on board the main meal after take off and breakfast before landing (although you can get a better breakfast at the arrivals lounge if you wish)

Yes LH has AVOD but BA beats them hands down on everything else in business class
