Haven't been on this site for a couple years as my travel dramatically dropped. As a result, I'm now just a miserable coach traveler. In any event, I have to travel from Los Angeles to Johannesburg next month. Figure it will be BA, UAL/SAA or AA/SAA for the long haul.

Does anyone have any recommendations for this hideously long haul? I've traveled around the world a couple times, but always in first or business. Should I assume that BA provides the best service and comfort in the back of the bus?

Thanks in advance . . .
