Largely it's down to the aircraft type, upstairs in the bubble on the 747 is still a great place to be even if some of the old 747s have had better days. General recommendation is to avoid the 777 fleet. I think A380 flies SFO on at least one rotation, that's a great plane. The biggest difference is that, with the exception of the new A350s BA Business doesn't have direct aisle access from all seats, from most you potentially have to climb over your neighbour's legs or they over yours....there are some exceptions which again depend on aircraft type. The crews are generally very good in CW as is the food and service, you dont have a bar like you do on in Upper Class, just a club kitchen where you can keep yourself to refreshments. Read some trip reports would be my advice, plentybon You Tube, figure out what of the experience is more important to you, which flight time is best etc....I'd say either, on a good day, will provide an excellent experience... One final factor, depending on when your journey is, the BA pilots strike is still ongoing with little sign of resolution. Many of us on the BA forum that fly a lot are looking to other airlines for bookings through to January at this point to minimise risk of disruption. |
For VS
Overall I'd go with whichever was cheaper, and if they're the same price I'd personally fly with VS for the better overall experience (including pre-boarding.) |
This is a duplicate thread posted in the BA forum, contrary to FT rules.
