The new cabin is stylish, well planned, and functionally comfortable, blinds are a nice touch. Better lighting, good table and a brand new style large screen make the personal space comfortable and reasonably private. The personal locker for a jacket and some pouches for shoes and passport docs etc are a good touch, but not as big as the side bins on upper deck Business class. The seat is good but in my view (as a big lad) the Z sleeper is just as comfortable. One thing I think BA have got wrong is that TV does not appear to tilt which means you have to be at a particular angle to avoid reflections. As usual the cabin was maintained at temperature far too warm given the sumptuous duvets, sleeper suites and bedding available. Expect to wake up in a sweat!

I'm 6'3 and usually have a difficult time getting to sleep on a flight,. British Airways Club World product has plenty of room and I slept very comfortably.

The seat is great for long routes. It is not difficult to set a good position to sleep.

Upper Deck 63J/K. Excellent flat bed, good storage under the windows. Food terrible on outbound leg to CPT, but better on inward leg.

Got seat 64A upstairs by the window which means you don't have to climb over someone to get out (64K is the same). But no one next to me anyway, so it was like your own private cabin with plenty of storage space underneath the windows. I thought the seat was extremely comfy, no problems stretching out on the flat bed. Also great in the Z position to watch the TV. Slight issue with the temperature as it was very hot, probably because airlines seem to think people sleep better when it's hot, but I never do.

Sat in 64A upper deck. Very quiet and private. Seat comfortable in most positions and kicked back after takeoff and managed a really good sleep. Menu was ghastly (flew first in December and the offering was equally unappetizing) so didn't bother. Breakfast offering was conventional and so much better.

Infinite settings for the seat made it possible to do minor adjustments in flight to alter the seating position enough to maintain comfort. Lie flat was a little tight (I'm 6'2") but still made it work. Privacy was excellent.

LAX-LHR and back again. Very comfy seat. Slightly short for me, but then I am 6' 4" so no surprise there. I slept for four hours, which is very rare for me when traveling. I'd definitely recommend the upper deck, very quiet. I also recommend a window seat as it is much more private and you have lots of storage bins under the windows.

Travelling in an upper deck window seat in BA Business Class is still the best place in the air. Excellent seat/bed, very private cabin, not much engine noise. What else could someone wish for - improved catering maybe.

LHR-IAD in old First - a little disappointed as BA have been harping on about new First for so long. IAD-LHR new First and I was delighted at first - but no power socket working, same with the chap behind me in 3A. No TV as this was broken, couldn't even get the map or music, same as lady next to me in 2E. Alternative seat had TV but could not recline and was offered to lady in 2E so she used both! First class on 777 only has one bathroom which was fun to watch guys in their PJ's trying to get changed in time for landing.

The lounge at T5 was very good and the massage a nice treat. The service on the flight was not much better than what you get in economy but this is made up by the comfort of the seats. If you can get a window seat as its like having your own room. A little strange taking off facing backwards.

I was in one of the centre seats but was lucky as I did not have to step over someone to get out. There is not much privacy from the person next to you if travelling alone. The seat was comfortable and I managed to get a lot of sleep. This was probably due to being very tired. The food was poor compared to other airlines I have flown with. The amenities bag was poor.

LHR-GRU-LHR. Out in BA's new F product, back on the old. The new first class is a huge improvement on the outgoing cabin, as I was acutely aware on the return leg. The seat is much more comfortable, wider, better privacy, and cabin ambience is relaxing and stylish. It's a great idea to have the individual wardrobe at the seat, but clearly that's just for a jacket. The problem of where to put your carry on luggage in a cabin with 14 seats remains unresolved, especially with the overhead bins full of mattress pads and duvets.

The window seats are much more private. In the aisle seat, you are not isolated much from the flight attendant and passenger traffic. The middle two seats (downstairs) are good only when traveling with a close companion. They are secluded in their own little room. However, the middle two seats do not offer much privacy from each other. When traveling alone, get a window seat upstairs in an exit row. They have maximum privacy and you don't have to step over another passenger to get out. Also, the exit row seats allow taller passengers to hang their feet over the edge of the bed. With other seats, the length you can stretch out is limited by the seat divider.

London-Muscat return, out in Business (10J) and return in First (4K). The seats suit me fine and I particularly enjoy 4K and usually have a good sleep. There is noise due to proximity to the galley.

Beats the awkward diagonal sleeping position of SIA, the long thin beds on Qantas. Food is mediocre, amenity packs seem to get more sparse these days.

I was extremely disappointed with BA Business class from ORD to LHR. The seat was uncomfortable for sleeping - no room if you like to sleep on your side. There is very little storage for your personal items. Not even a little shelf for your water while you sleep. AV system was terrible - the screen was small, at a bad angle, and it is not on-demand.
