TG used to have full lie-flat PE on their 77W to CPH and ARN

I am sure there are lots of garbage J catering and good Y catering at the same time, therefore, I think that the catering level measuring using class is unreliable.

How's EK's PY seat?

American calling themselves the best alcohol onboard, BA calling themselves world's favourite airline. What a laugh of the two!

Fair enough. Considering they cancelled two of my connecting flights in the past couple of months it as as much "reliable" as AF on CDG. It is actually even worse because the reason for cancellation is usually their rubbish IT system (if we leave out the madness during this particular summer).

I mean sure it is not like with EK when you have onboard bar or the cocktails in the QR, but the drinks selection (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) onboard AA is pretty good IMHO or at least I wasn't missing anything (except not mean and/or arrogant steward, but that is something you count with when flying with AA).

But from the retail price of the champagne price served obard AA and also BA F, it is far from the world's best alchohalic selection.

If this is the case why does Iberia have better lounges, all-aisle access J and massively better food, it’s all part of the same company which has been cruelly forced into a failing strategy by over-entitled ‘cake and eat it’ customers?

I just treat BA PE as a bigger seat that gives me a greater number of tier points over economy., and an Avios bonus

Expect nothing (spectacular) food wise, crew wise (but that goes for all cabins), and practically zero change of an upgrade (which is a reason why some do choose it).

If the price isn't too much of a premium, then it works

That does look amazing. Fresh, colourful, prepared with care and even perky! Everything seems so fresh it's reaching upwards.

Yes - flew 9 hours in PE last month on a day flight in a 787 Dreamliner. For me it's the larger seat ( I really don't fit too well in a Y seat for 9 hours - I'm just too tall). That's the main thing for me and PE / WT+ provides that. The 787 was clean with new equipment and was actually a very very nice place to be. We had taken some snacks and treats on board and so, combined with the food served (which was actually pretty good), then we were more than happy.

This looks better than the single-tray BA Club World service.

Other than the packaged cheeses, the main meal on Emirates' premium economy is even better than the current Club World offering on BA's transatlantic flight. That appetizer salad looks better in both quality and quantity.

Flew in WTP to MCO from LHR and back a few weeks ago.

It was a 4 Class 777 and we had the "Front Row" of WTP to ourselves so no one reclines on you and there was loads of legroom and width as we had four seats to stretch out over.

Looking through the curtain to Club they were lined up like sardines in a tin with minimal extra room for the premium paid..

Even the Exit Seats in WT looked a better bet - acres of legroom even more than us in WTP

I know Club gets it's fair share of detractors but blukhead WT or WT+ seat being superior is a stretch surely? regardless of the relative £ per sq inch cost of onboard real estate.

I paid for WT+ for my wife and daughter because I arranged a fiscally responsible routing ie one additional stop that irritated her and I felt guilty and sure enough they received an upgrade on the 380 to Business between LHR and DFW.

On the return my wife and daughter and myself and my other kids on different booking references because we flew separately but returning together in economy...I had to change plans at the last moment...rest of the family flew and I suppose based on my silver status, the boys were upgraded to WT+ on one of the legs, even without me..perhaps that was a timing thing as I expected that the be changed because I was not flying.

Upgrade to business from WT+ is a lovely surprised...short story is...I have never myself been upgraded...perhaps my time is coming.

CKBA

Certainly expect nothing - low expectations rearely brings disappointment (!) - but reagrding upgrades, I've probably had more WT+ to CW than WT to WT+ (one memorable month when I had 3 consecutive WT+ to CW upgrades - with a ET-CE upgrade inbetween).

Look I’m normally one of the first to have a go at the Club Suite…….but I think you’re stretching things a bit. There’s a whole extra six inches of seat pitch in The Suite to WTP 44 vs 38 inches. In Club World the seat pitch is 72 inches that’s a nearly double increase on WTP. Of the three, I know which one I’d rather sit in and it’s not one with a low seat pitch.
