In this video, we'll take a look at Europe's best short haul business class experience...in my view. All aboard a British Airways Airbus A320 from London Heathrow's terminal 3 through to Olso.
It truly was a fantastic experience lately with BA. I thought the food, the service and the new wifi offering for Executive Club members was all fantastic. On this trip, I paid around £100 or so to upgrade from my standard economy ticket and it was money very well spent indeed. If you don't have Silver status or above with the BA Exec club, for that sort of money, if you're looking to enhance your experience, it's a no brainer.
In terms of areas for improvement honestly, there weren't any - it was a super trip. In my heart of hearts, I'd love to see BA throw down the gauntlet to other European carriers and at least go for a couple of rows of proper 2-2 regional business class as seen across much of the rest of the world however, I really can't see that happening just now. Shame, as they'd quickly establish themselves as the premium carrier across Europe and the product, akin to Emirates's A380 First Class, would act as a halo product for the airline.
If you're keen to check out the Cathay Pacific lounge I referenced during the video, you can check that out just here:

On your particular flight it seems that British Airways got everything right in Club Europe. Catering looks really impressive and with such a light passenger load it sounds like the cabin crew were both friendly and attentive. If BA could provide this level of service on every shorthaul flight they would excel but they are too inconsistent at present which lets them down in my opinion. A great flight report!

Was for sure a special one, although the load was super flight, the front section was relatively well filled out. Great to see the catering on point though!

Hi. Thank you for this detailed review 🙏. Im flying BA club europe in September with my other half. Do you know if the middle tray can be moved in any way?
@Travelsbydreamer
@Travelsbydreamer Ай бұрын
You’re very welcome! Yeah, I’m sure it can, purely because the European business class model is all about flexibility in that they can push the curtain back and slap on a couple of middle trays and hey presto, sell more business class tickets so as result, I’d imagine they’re pretty quick to dispose of if you wanted that closeness. Have a fab flight :)

Yet another great video Dreamer! They just get better and better. Can you please tell me where you got that case from? I know you are a very frequent flyer so would guess only the very best is good enough for your demanding schedule?

Thanks so much! The cases I use in the videos are by Level8 and would highly recommend them. They’re a regular sponsor of the channel - stay tuned for a special discount code soon as part of videos I’m shooting with them later this month!

First timer for club europe here. I noted on the t3 BA lounge it said "by invitation only" assuming if youre in club europe for your flight that counts as the invite?

Yes, absolutely. They’ll often tell you where the relevant lounge is at the check in desks.

Here’s a question I still can’t work out the answer to. If you’ve gold or silver status. Would you rather have club Europe or extra legroom exit seat in economy? If you are doing a flight of say less than 90 mins?
@Travelsbydreamer
@Travelsbydreamer Ай бұрын
That’s a really good one! I feel a little 50/50. Tbh, just for the benefit of getting off first the front row CE probably best and with that you get the leg room also. I like the service onboard and the drinks etc. So perhaps just about CE if front row otherwise, I do tend to go economy for the exit row and awful lot then enjoy the club benefits off the aircraft :)

I've always thought intra European business class flights are only worth it when seated in the very front. Maybe I'm just lucky but i took 9 skyteam short haul flights and have always been able to choose the front seat in advance. I haven't tried British though. Going back to your question, i would probably take an exit row seat in economy.

Looks nice! Yes it's actually better to fly BA out of T3 than T5 since the Cathay first lounge is much better than Galleries First.

Looks a really good experience, the refreshed lounge at T3 looked very comfortable ' It's certainly about time that BA updated the 2 main lounges at T5 a few new chairs and tables isn't a upgrade, its nice when a flight operates with only a few passengers. Many years ago I flew back from Washington DC with Virgin on a A340-600 there were less than 70 passengers on board ! Not sure I would if compared take off with a shuttle considering 2 exploded on launch 😉, But as ever a great review

With you all the way on the T5 lounges, such a shame. The new chairs are such a sticking plaster - they’re massively over subscribed at the moment also. Washington flight sounds ideal I do love those! Fair point also about the space shuttle! 😅 Thanks so much - see you in another one soon!

Does indeed, later found that out. I’d say Qantas and Cathay options the best for sure! On the seats, I’ve never seen a BA jet with anything different for CE on three current line up, would be keen to see!

@@richardstreet7518 sorry I see what you mean! Yes you’re right, having the middle table is key making the 320 CEO’s a little better, with an all be it slightly more tired interior due to cabin age. Bring on more of the brand new seats!

Love the space shuttle analogy and then the immediate visit to the toilet, ha-ha!!!. He simpers and smirks and makes love to us all (Jane Austin I think?) and yet you still turn out a damned good report...Oh dear, not enough Schweppes in my Tanqueray!!! That bathroom was stained and crusty and a total shock for any class of travel..typical BA leaving everything till it needs desperately fixing/changing/upgrading. European business seating suits only the airlines, not the passengers but for most European short haul it's tolerable I guess, only if the price is right. Fever Tree indeed....the dernier-cri in mixers.

Haha thankfully toilet visit wasn’t as result of the take off roll 😂 Just has to be fever tree doesn’t it, such a touch of class about it, especially when from the glass bottles! Toilets looking their age for sure! Lots more from BA coming soon, including their first cabin 😃
