Yep, agree completely Globaliser, its the 'mini-cabin' part of BA WT+ and all that goes with it that sets it apart. It actually has a partition curtain from both Y and J and so it really is a separate experience from Y, and the lack of seats/people in the space (and rarely any children) gives the cabin a whole diffferent feel. You also get a more personal service.

It also has loos just for the cabin, which is also a nice touch and saves you from the Y queues.

And if I remember right (have not flown it for a year and a half or so) it also has extending foot rests does it not, a feature you also don't get in regular Y of course.

And you are quite right again that this is VERY different experience from UA Y+ (i've flown it a few times recently) ! Extra leg room and that is it - same food, same seats, no partition curtain, etc, etc.

The advantage of UA Y+ however - and this really is a very good feature - is that you automatically get put in it (even on the cheapest Y ticket) as a *A S or G, so you get the extra leg room for nothing. BA WT+ is a vastly better experience, but you really do pay for it - e.g. Dec. 1 - 10 2005 (ba.com) WT LON-SYD = £650 (with restrictions); WT+ = £1768 (with restrictions) : Over £1,000 more and 3 times the price - while UA (even when flying on Ted) give you their lesser product for nothing.
