Is British Airways business class / club world, even worth it anymore? With so many planes still having the 'old' club seats, with no direct aisle access, and a very old seat.. is it worth paying thousands for?
Today I review the BA 'luxury' business class from London Gatwick to MCO Orlando Florida. Come with me on holiday with a fun review of the airport and my very expensive plane ticket! Would you pay cash for this?

I don’t think you’re wrong to point out that the seat was dirty. When I pay £3-4k for a seat I expect quality, good service and cleanliness. And climbing over someone is unacceptable these days. I try and avoid BA as their product is poor for the price point .

I do not know if you will see this but I agree 100%. I used to travel "Business Class" in the late 1990s and things were FAR BETTER, to be honest, I never fly with BA but with Malaysia Airlines, Qantas and American Airlines and everything was very nice. The most important feature was the amount of SPACE that you enjoyed; obviously, most airlines are now cutting corners in the most shameful way!

Possibly one shouldn't be at all surprised that British Airways introduce new passengers to dirty aircraft. However, is that really the standard that can be expected of a 'leader in international air travel'? Personally I'm rather more saddened by such unexpected squalor, than actually shocked. The cheap end of the market, in air transport providers, are the true aircraft 'turn around' specialists with barely enough time for re-fuelling and safety checks, plus just 20 minutes passenger boarding time allocated before taking off again. (Yes, a plane on the ground is not earning money. . .) It really isn't expected of the mighty and exalted British Airways, to rival the 'cattle herders' of air travel, but this must be what is now 'Brave New World', so suck it up and enjoy paying thousands of £££sss for the privilege of wallowing in a sty and a trough in the sky.

You were very generous and I can tell you’re mindful of people watching who may be stuck in economy. This is a business class experience I’d expect to see if a discount carrier introduced a lie flat product. I’m glad the food was great! Excellent video - have fun in Orlando!

Someone once said to me that we've forgotten that airplane travel is a feat of engineering! Always check the configuration on the planes before you book. This is an old configuration on many airlines for 767/777 - the airbus 380 is better (unless you need the bassinet then it's a nightmare). And pick your seats. When you're window side you have more privacy and less disruption but it is harder to get out. But anyone on the aisle side knows that if they've flown business. If you're not planning on sleeping Prem Econ is a very good deal!

Funny story my husband was attending a conference in Orlando for Educational reasons. When leaving he and his friend had rented a car and we’re returning to the Airport they thought. 😂 By accident they were in traffic to Disney World 🙃. Eventually they turned around and reached the plane in time but watching today you entering Disney it brought a smile and a laugh. Unfortunately he died in 2011 but things I see or watch bring so many memories. Thanks for this and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen seats like that before. The difference between UK and USA. Loved it.

I once flew an internal flight to Cairo on Egyptair and when we finally touched down the whole aircraft erupted in paroxysms of joy and euphoria. Cheering, clapping…the full package of delights. Could it be that applause is just an expression of relief for having arrived in one piece? Who knows! Anyway, an enjoyable and entertaining vlog from you and having just subscribed, I’ll gleefully now delve into your other content.

Saturday morning in Mel. Australia. Watching Hannah with a travel blog, I'm in heaven. I am going to splurge on a once in a life time business class to Paris to see family. All your fault Hannah I want to experience this once. I've just retired and think now is the time. As you say" first world problems" I'm so blessed. I am trying to wangle a week in London only so that I can visit all my favourite Hannah places... might need two weeks actually. Thank you for making my retirement full of ideas and making planning my walks around Melbourne so much fun. 2 hrs later Have been watching other business class vlogs but yours are by far the best. Your enthusiasm and pleasure in everything really shows though and takes an informative dreary blog to the next level. Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in.

I did BA Business Class Austin - London in September in the Airbus A350-1000 and I loved it. Great 1-2-1 configuration with the privacy door. Lots of space with 2 full windows in 9A and 9K. The food was great and the filet was one of the best I’ve ever had. LOVED the White Company pillow and the bedding was very nice. Lay flat bed was very spacious. Wine selection was nice but very skimpy beer offerings. All in all, very nice experience!

Having worked for BA for years i've flown club dozens of times, I have to say that the best business class i've ever flown was Air Belgium! They had a really weird seating arrangement where your feet went into a sort of box in the seat in front, it sounds odd , but it meant you did not have to clamber over the person behind, or sit staring at a complete stranger through the partition.

I haven't flown first class or business class since before there were sleeper seats! The only flying I do these days is in economy (or some version of it) as I would rather spend my money differently , but I have to say, I have flown Virgin Atlantic on my last three flights from the US to UK and was really impressed. Even in Economy they still gave out amenity packs, blankets, etc. , free drinks, good food. The cabin crew on all of the flight were great . I vowed never to fly BA again many years ago. Once, when traveling with my husband and son (who was 4 years old, and a seasoned traveller as we lived in Australia and flew back and forth to the US often) we were stuck on the tarmac for several hours and the staff was horrendous. One of the crew actually slapped my hand when I reached for a cookie that they were handing out (while still on the ground), and told me they were only for the children. I think these days if that happened you would probably sue the airline! All in all, flying is nowhere near the experience it was in the past - and not something I enjoy. This was fascinating - thanks!

Flew heathrow to singapore beginning of march, paid extra for 2 seats together. Business lounge was more like a works canteen, been before and it felt so much more personal in the past. Went to boarding and got told my seat was broken, no reclining! So I was moved 5 rows away from my wife. Told them not happening because my wife is a very nervy flyer. Kept my original seat, yes the broken one. So it was an overnight flight, 13 hours of upright seat, no sleep! Had back ache for next 6-8 days. And yet my wife stays faithful to BA. 10000 avios points compo, which will probably run out before I get a chance to use.

No! It is good to know how a plane stays in the air to reassure family members who are nervous fliers. Real basic physics-the shape of the wings ensures there is a different airspeed over the top of the wings compared to the bottom of the wings-this ensures there is a difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wings so the plane is pushed upwards! e.g the plane flies.

I had the same thoughts about flying backwards before I did it, but it’s actually pretty cool. Also, the plane is pointing slightly up while cruising so flying backwards on a lie flat bed means your head is higher than your feet, so it’s better for sleeping than facing forwards (if that makes sense).

I used to fly BA quite regularly while doing long distance with my wife between London and New York. I was never that impressed with their service, in fact I was actually quite put off. This was approaching 5-7 years ago, so things may have changed, but their flights had no wifi, the food and drink service was poor (both in quality and frequency), and staff were often quite abrupt. I often felt like BA saw themselves as a prestige airline and so you should almost feel lucky to fly with them. If I compare that to Air Lingus, Virgin Atlantic, and even American, they all offered better services. Flying BA felt like staying at a stately home that needed work.

Stayed in a Bloc hotel (can’t remember which airport), a couple of years back. It was right in the terminal, which was really good for an early flight. You got a view of the runway, yet it was totally silent in the room, which is impressive. I would 100% do again. They always seem to have offers on, so it’s not as expensive as you think. Bonus was that as they aren’t everywhere like Premier Inn, it felt a bit more exciting!

What a fun Hannah on Holiday Vlog!! Thank you for the tour of the lounge at Gatwick. It seems much more relaxed compared to Heathrow. It doesn’t seem like the ground crews ever have enough time to thoroughly clean every surface from the previous flight. The herringbone seating configuration on carriers like Cathay afford access to one’s seat without interrupting a cabin mate. Have a great time in MCO and WDW with your family! Looking forward to some video of you and your nieces in Toontown!

Hannah, on my goodness me, I LOVED it. It was like being on there with you - tho I'd never fit near your coffin. Years ago my folks lived in Spain. They moved back to the UK, so on my final trip to Spain, I used the posh lounge at Stansted (or was it Luton?)... It was so good. Posh chairs. Seeing all the folks hustle and bussle. while I could chill wiht pastries and the like. At that time, I thought, why the heck did I not do this before? Flight wise, never done a business class. Did you collect the airmiles with Amex? I use to have one many moons ago. I got a bit confused by what you did pay for and what you didn't. Sorry. But I take it the whole flight was pretty much for nothing? That's just amazing. Terrific way to spend the miles. Really enjoyed watching it all. Hope you had a fab time with the family. And that room was bliss. S.

Interesting! I am flying BA Business Class to Toronto in December but from Heathrow. I have never been to Gatwick. You had the old business seat configuration. The latest, which is in the A350, is much better. I didn't like the old one either. I agree with you. BA have changed direction lately and are now trying to revert to a quality airline after all the cutbacks in previos years. Mike Rickett

Oh what a treat! Travelling with Hannah back to DISNEY. I’ve been lucky to have flown overnight in business and all pods are not equal for sure but I’ve never had to climb over someone! Weird. My best experience (and I’ve not flown the wonderful Asian ones) was Swiss Air. I swear there were only 10 of us up there in business Montreal to Zurich ….and I remember the table setting looked like a wine tasting with all the glasses lol. Special

I flew Sydney to London RTN, Club World after Covid for $6500, so around £3000. It wasn’t a great luxury experience but for the money, I got to lay flat, sleep and overall the experience was great. Prices are now $10000 for the same route and there’s NO way I would pay that for BA Business.

Thanks Hannah - a very comprehensive review. As someone who has not flown BA for a number of years it looks like the soft product has indeed improved and the new Business Class cabin can only be an improvement on that old 777 "dorm" ... BA *may* be a consideration going forward. Airline cleanliness seems to be an endemic issue currently, I've just returned to Oz using a mix but including Finnair. Their seat was so filthy down to side I did fire off an enquiry to ask if they considered cleaning when they launched this seat a few years ago. Keep up this great work ... like yourself I'm really into airline reviews and will keep an eye out for future ones from you. Hope you enjoyed Florida!!

Hannah, I’ve stayed at the Bloc Hotel at Gatwick several times, including in July. I really like it. Even if you are flying Economy or Premium Economy (like me), you can use the Priority Security which is just outside the Bloc. I’m only halfway through your review. The BA Lounge looked great. I probably wouldn’t spend the money (unless I used miles) to fly business class but it looks nice.

I flew with BA to Denver just a few weeks ago, LHR to DEN was Prem Economy, and the return to London (as overnight) was Club World (BA's Business Class). If I'm honest I was somewhat underwhelmed with the Club World flight back to the UK, the crew were kind of less enthusiastic, the service was nothing special, so all in all not a great impression was left with BA Club World. I'll stick with Prem Econ next time, or better still Virgin if flying to the West Coast. I just noticed that the Club World you flew on is the old product, perhaps because it's LGW? Great review Hannah, love the amount of detail you provided.

Love your vlogs! I started watching you because of the London angle, but was so happy that you were also a Disney fan. Thanks for the travel and plane review, it helps a lot with decision making. :) The clotted cream was so proper, with the golden top, which is how it comes out of the pans after cooking. I prefer the clotted cream on the bottom and then the jam, but I understand those in Cornwall demand and swear by the opposite...cream on top. We love the Grand Floridian and you had a great room. Brave of you to go in August! Even us Floridians have a difficult time with that amount of heat and humidity. Can't wait 'til your next vlog!

So interesting to see travel from London. I just stayed at the Swan for 2 nights on October 20th just to enjoy The Boardwalk and all the restaurants and a ride in the skyliner to The Riveria and then to Coco beach area for the week. We had just been in January for a stay at The Beach Club right by back entrance to Epcot. I just love the area by the Boardwalk so you can walk and enjoy so many things. So the January trip we went to 3 parks and did a monorail crawl and Disney Springs to Morimoto Asia and The Boat House and Wine Bar George. Then the second trip didn’t even go into the park just enjoyed everything around the Swan and there pool and all the amazing eating. The Flying Fish and IL Mulino the best !!!! There are so many ways to enjoy Disney🥰

Wow, what a great vlog Hannah, you edit so well, no wonder it takes ages! If you can afford it, or have offers, vouchers, air miles, whatever, go for it! What a great tip to stay in the Premier Inn the night before a morning flight. It takes all the stress out of getting there by cab after getting up at 4am. Definitely! But please put up a holiday vlog here as I've given up Instagram. Thanks. 🙏💜

It certainly isn't snobby to expect the plane to be clean. MCO is a nightmare to arrive at. The immigration queue takes well over an hour though I am sure the hall was different in 2022 from the one in 2017.

Hi Hannah, my wife and I enjoyed this video and are happy you have been able to take a break and spend quality time with your family. As for upgrading out of economy, I say it si always worth it. I stand 6’ 5” and the extra legroom in world traveller is worth every penny. We were in COrnwall and Devon is September and we had world traveller seats to England and back to Canada and had such a comfortable flight on BA. And yes, we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We rated our flight a 9.5/10 for fabulous flight attendants and food and cleanliness. The BA ground crew at Heathrow were friendly. Keep up the fab videos and we are looking forward to Vlogmas.

I agree Steve........I always fly Business Class Club, and mostly First with BA, but a few years back I surprised my Mum with a trip to Dubai. As I was paying cash I booked Economy. BIG MISTAKE! We were on the Red Eye & I suffered like hell on the way out. No leg room and acute claustrophobia. Mum was okay as she is tiny. Checking in for the return flight, I just handed over my Amex card and said upgrade us, don't care what cabin or how much it costs. The only seats available we P.Economy, which I took. I paid £440 as I recall so £220 each, and we got front cabin seats by the window. I was really impressed, I really was. It was worth every penny.

Great vlog Hannah, you have a new subscriber. We’ve stayed at BLOC in Gatwick and found it ideal for being at the airport the night before if you have to travel from a further distance like Manchester. 2 adults and 2 children in a room the size of a ships cabin was just what we needed. 9 hours sleep and a shower in the morning, a double bed and bunk beds for the children with a view of the planes airside. Passport control is just outside the hotel entrance so after checking our bags in the night before it was a breeze to leave your hotel room and go through security. I’m not a fan of the BA Business Class seating on your flight. It looked a bit constricting and having to pay for WiFi in Business Class! Looks like I now have a lot of your videos to watch 😂

Great video, Hannah. Video & audio was very good. I flew BA business class from California to London earlier this year. Different model of plane as the window seats all had two large storage bins between the seat and the window and could walk to seat without going over other passengers. Crew was very nice. Food was ok, not as nice as yours. Flight home was delayed an entire day so that whole experience was very disappointing. Always enjoy your vlogs.

That's a very inconvenient and unclassy business class set up. No way should you need to literally climb over someone else to get to/from your seat. I'd give props to AA if you get their Flagship business class. It's a newer, much more logical config and I took it to London back in 2019. Was very impressed with it. That said, not having flown on Qatar or Emirates, I have done Singapore Airlines a few times, and that is def up there in terms of service and bougie experience.
