Are you sure you can afford to fly FIRST on BA?

(Club World is their business class, so Club World Plus would be their next class above business, which would be FIRST!)

You meant World Traveler Plus if you were talking about their premium economy section.

However, please note that their premium economy section has about the same pitch as an exit row on an AA 763 or 777. Are you doing everything you can to get exit rows (including checking frequently as the flight date/time approaches for EXPs who left an exit row seat behind as they got upgraded, and checking again at the airport)? There's obviously way more of those premium economy seats on the BA planes than there are exit row seats on the AA planes, but if you can get an exit row seat on AA, I'm not sure how much better BA's premium economy would be.
