There was a time when this was the benchmark seat for first class, but those days are long passed. It now looks tired, grubby and dated. It is a hard seat and the width at the shoulders when flat is very restricted. The overhead lights are extremely unreliable and the television screen is seriously small for first class. Clearly not a top ten product.

Newly converted to BA after many flights with Virgin Atlantic. Seats in the upper deck cabin fantastic. Being in the upper deck seems so much more quieter and relaxed. Seat much better than VA Upper Class both in the sitting and bed positions. Love the partition screen between seats, even if you are flying alone the screen still gives you enough privacy to feel like you have your own 'personal space'.

JFK-LHR Sleeper Service Flight: I sat in seat 13D, which I must say was excellent. Very private as the first class curtain is directly in front of you and it is a forward facing seat. I was very pleased with the new club world seats, privacy screens beat the older version fan style hands down! Because this was a sleeper service, dinner was served in the Terraces Lounge at JFK, buffet style, which was great as within a half hour of taking off I was laying in the "Z" position sipping my chamomile tea and eating delicious warm chocolate chip cookies. As the restrooms are behind the section I was in I was undisturbed all night, with the exception of an occasional crew member coming out from first class. All in all it was an excellent seat which I hope to get in the future. Very similar to the upstairs of the cabin with that "private jet" feel. The new Elemis travel kit also exceeds quality of the old Molton Brown kits.

Best seats have to be 62J/K. Fantastic service, food and environment. Flying back from SFO to LHR got upgraded to 2A in First as travelling with father who is BA Premier Card Holder.

Club World is still the industry best even if the seats are starting to show their age. It is an airline seat that you can get 5 hours sleep on. 4A on this three class 777 is one of the best located seats. No clambering over your neighbour's stool. Hard to fault BA cabin crew. For the most part they are highly competent at providing good business class service. Food satisfactory on outbound flight. Food dreadful on return flight. New Club World not installed on the 777's as yet. Looking forward to the arrival of the advertised wider seat.

SEA-LHR vv. The seat is comfy whilst sitting up for meals and reading/writing. But it's when it's been turned down that the magic begins. The instant my head was on the pillow I was out. I had to be woken up forty minutes before landing both ways.

LHR- Nairobi return, first time with new Club seating. A little surprised as to how good new fittings were, since press reviews I had read were indifferent. Now one of the most comfortable seats in the sky, excellent bed too. Ergomomics of design outstanding with really useful storage space. Service also excellent, though plane half empty which always helps.

The upper deck is the place to be! I sat in 62k, which has to be the best seat in the house as you arent disturbed by anyone the person sitting next to you trying to get out of their "shell". There is no real restriction on seat pitch in this seat as the next closest seat to you is probably a good 8 feet away! Food and service was fantastic. Staff attentive.

Three personal lights including reading lights not functioning at my seat (4A). Inflight service cursory at best, pretty much unresponsive to my predicament. Settled in to sleep, but found the seats inferior to first class pods on Japanese carriers.

Old Club World flat bed seats on 7 hour flight LHR-AUH but still perfectly adequate. Helps to pre- select good seat in advance. I like the facing backwards configuration at windows, though was glad no one was in the adjacent seat for the uncomfortable "facing each other" experience for takeoff and landing with the silly "fan" privacy screen. This has been vastly improved on the NCW product. Otherwise seat comfortable ,though footrest was noticeably lower than the seat when fully reclined (and footrest wouldn't raise). Only complaint is narrowness when fully reclined, but again this has been addressed somewhat in NCW. Will look forward to 777 fleet being updated with NCW.
