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.

I am an easygoing gal, but that level of grime and crammed configuration is outrageous considering the cost. 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!

The Club lounge looked better than the tired lounge at Heathrow. Have given up on BA Business Class particularly to Orlando. Seating when converted to a bed is comfortable but pre flight and flight service is just OK.Switched to another British airline and will not return to BA Business. For the price cabin needs improving.

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!

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 agree this configuration is really unacceptable these days for business class prices. There are so many better options available with aisle access from every seat. I was BA Gold for many years but personally I feel BA are now far down the pack. Personally I swapped my allegiance to AF/KLM. You should try AF long haul business class, much better than BA.

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.

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’ve never quite managed to get my head around the whole applause thing on landing! 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.

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!

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!

Goodness, the seat layout in their business class is just so awkward. I'm a flight attendant (with another airline) and just envisioning how uncomfortable it must be for everyone involved getting around, serving the food and beverages over people, eek. I certainly hope your next time flying them in business class, it's in a seat configuring that is more comfortable. That tiramisu looked scrumptious! 😍 Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family 🌴

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.

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🥰

My family and I last flew BA in 2002, economy, NEVER again. The flight was delayed, we were escorted to a hotel about 11 pm. and then woken up at 6:00 am. to get on the replacement aeroplane!

Thank you, Hannah. For being brutally honest 😅 I 💯 agree on all those points you critiqued. My son and I flew BA economy this past May. It was cramped, but the service was impeccable and friendly, and they went beyond expectations. I love BA. As a Canadian, I prefer flying BA. Your comment about not getting the cheese board had me cracking up!! Well done ❤

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.

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.

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!!

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
