ALONE in NEW First Class Suite on British Airways *First on YouTube*

[@Sanznachito]

There’s no denying that BA might not be as “polished” as other air,Ines, but what an elegant and phenomenal experience...The upgraded Suite looks extremely comfortable and service impeccable. Well done BA! 👍

BA has always delivered a great First Class performance in my experience. I have never felt unattended or as if I was in anything but first class.

[@brendancook8288]

Very cool video! I'm one of the Manufacturing Engineers that helped build those suites. It's nice to see the suites in service. Thanks for the video!

[@danicalo]

One of the best things about BA first is that, for some long haul routes, it’s often priced lower than other comparable airlines’ business class. When I briefly lived in Hong Kong, I’d fly BA first between HK and NY because that round trip ticket was often approximately 40% less expensive than Cathay business (although, obv Cathay was a direct flight in between NY and HK)

[@visionist7]

Remember that direct means one plane, one flight number, one ticket, but not necessarily without stopovers. Nonstop is the real deal

[@alexanderivkin7086]

And up to 450% miles and not 200% !

[@julianfp1952]

Absolutely. That’s my post-pandemic experience as well on the route I fly most often, London to Cape Town, but I didn’t find it the case pre-pandemic. Pre-pandemic BA used to fly planes with first class cabins to Cape Town but I usually flew Emirates First because Emirates First on that route was almost always a few hundred pounds cheaper than BA First but now, post pandemic - oh boy! BA no longer offer First class direct to CP, Emirates First prices are about 75% higher than pre-pandemic pricing, and BA business class pricing direct to CPT is crazy, often more expensive than Emirates First via Dubai, so now I usually find that my best value option - sticking to the airlines I prefer such as Emirates, Qatar and BA and keeping to a maximum of one connection - is BA First to Johannesburg & a domestic connection onward to CPT. Depending on pricing that can be a good 30% cheaper than competitors’ business class products and about half the price of Emirates First. On the right routes BA First really is very keenly priced.

[@Locutus]

I agree. Look, BA is not the airline it used to be, however, you do get what you pay for on BA. If you want ultra luxury, fly Emirates or Qatar, but if you want a product that is good enough, with a good enough price, BA is that.

[@Harryavida]

Dude, you really crack me up. I dunno who you think is watching these vids, but it's certainly not peeps that can afford to travel 1st BA!! The sincere reviewing is great, but it's done in such a way that assumes we all travel like this, our only dilemma being which airline's premium seats to choose! Love your blagging, man - fill your boots, bro and enjoy it if you can! But get real, none of us can 'leave our thoughts in the comments below' because we DON'T HAVE £8K TO FLY FROM SEATTLE TO LONDON!

[@MrAVFC2011]

On the -10, the safety video isn’t filmed to include the new club suite, mainly due to the 3 point belt and other safety features so a manual safety demo has to be done, I’m crew on the 350 and -10 with BA and it’s been the norm since it’s been delivered, on other aircraft, it’s to do with the removal of face masks in a rapid decompression :)

We are heading down to JNB next year, from LAX, First is almost $600 more than Club...Round trip...30 hrs each way....Sold...Very sold....

Awesome to see BA first class review... You are such a amazing person to review this brand new product ❤️❤️❤️❤️...1year before travelled with their A350 from Dubai to London in club suite it's such a amazing experience

To be honest, I had sort of written off BA as a premium product but this look very, very good. I'll have to take another look at them soon.

[@bc5299]

the ba lounge in seattle has always been substandard. they treat it as a departures only lounge and when arriving from heathrow in first class and waiting for a connecting flight they bar entry. it has happened to me twice and to a friend once.

[@Paulhilvert]

I’m so glad that your still showing us awesome content even thought were in a pandemic 👏. Love the vlog BA have really done well with there modernising of their first class and Club World classes, They look so much more comfortable and having that individual access is a big improvement. Can’t wait for the next one matey 👍 👏

[@brutusp.8116]

I wonder though if the increased comfort vs the club suite justifies the price difference. From what I can see the step up from club suite seems minimal but I’m happy to hear other people’s views

[@Paulhilvert]

@@brutusp.8116 tbh, I think the first class didn’t need any upgrades as I thought that was a pretty sleek and classy looking product. Club world was in need of a facelift as it was very dated but what they have done to the new Club World is a job well done. It’s very classy and what a business class should look like. It would be interesting to see how comfy they are and are they worth the money.

[@AnneMB955]

Travelled Qantas first class 3 times now and it’s always been completely full. Off to UK from 🇦🇺 very soon. Your vlogs make me so excited.

[@mikeplummer26]

BA does have a lounge in Seattle at S gates now, with a hilariously small first class room which was claustrophobic even with 8 passengers in it. The Concorde Room at Terminal 5 made up for it though. I’m not sure the lounge in Seattle had LPGS champagne either, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because I was blown away by the LPGS onboard.

[@jwil4286]

And you can also use Alaska’s lounges as well

[@Madman3721]

2:57 or so, it could be due to the fact that the letter of the gates doesn’t sound similar. Kinda like B and E. Less confusion if someone is having to rely on hearing

[@oooHARKYooo]

Hey Will, Cabin crew here. Manual demo are done on all aircrafts with the new club suite have 3 point seat belt which isn’t included in the video. Also because of COVID we have to tell passengers to take off their mask before putting on their oxygen mask. Also if you can try getting on the new 777 300 the first class now have doors as well. Keep up the content 👌🏽

[@zack8501]

Ru gay?

[@simondavey7787]

It's interesting to see BA reinstate some of their pre-Covid service. I hope the lounges return soon. What is it like travelling to the US as a Brit at the moment?

[@ChrisZoomER]

I've the BA 787-10 from the ground and it's HUGE!!! Crazy how only 12 seats were booked on that whole plane!

[@lvthud]

From memory, the crew has to do 1 manual demo a month per regs, with the lack of flying right now, this may be the only chance they get.

[@MsGolf987]

I think all ba flights at the moment are doing manual demos as they don’t have “you need to remove your face masks” if the pressure drops and the oxygen mask release

[@steveedwards3217]

flew first to Vegas Mar 20...fantastic...slept for 5 hours+, service was perfect...flying new club suite to Vegas again Jan 22'

[@TheBluman1]

Nice video again. I normally fly 1st class in the US domestic flights which are ok but man flying 1st class over seas is my dream.

[@keithtynan7469]

Excellent review, as always. Very informative.

[@conrad1402]

When the club suite was introduced, any aircraft with that switched to manual demos as the videos beforehand didn’t explain the 3 point seatbelt

[@Kkyls]

BA does now have a lounge in Seattle, used it back in July on the way to London.

[@niksiever3135]

The reason for the manual safety demo is the new Club Suite. They just never got round to film a new separate video. Therefore all of the aircrafts which are fitted with the new business class suites have manual safety demonstration even before Covid. Now, there’s also a new bit to remove your mask before you fit your oxygen mask in case of a decompression and that is for all aircrafts at the moment. Also, this isn’t a new First class cabin. It’s the business/Club World cabin that’s new on the 787-10 which was initially introduced on the A350s. This First cabin has been flying around for years on the 789s.

[@samg8265]

[@hothotheat3000]

If there’s that few people on board, can the attendants say “screw it” and just move everyone to first?

[@Trektrendy]

I once was on a flight with even fewer people, years back sat in Etihad economy. We asked this question but the response was a hard no sadly. I think if there are any other paying passengers in there it’s not allowed

[@lvthud]

@@Trektrendy I was on a KU flight many years ago on a 742, there were a total of 6 passengers going LHR-JFK, sadly there was one paying customer in first, so the crew would "only" move us up to business.

[@nathanielc8892]

Love your videos! Recently started watching you instead of SamChui, and can not be more pleased. I love SeaTac! It’s my favorite airport. Also, A,B, C, and D gates are all part of the main terminal, then N gates are the north satellite terminal and S gates are the south satellite terminal (international)

[@storm011-h4j]

Welcome to our state😂

[@jwil4286]

SeaTac can be a MESS during peak travel times (worse than SFO but not as bad as LAX). If you’re going somewhere else west of the Rockies (SFO, LAX, PHX, etc.), see if you can use PAE instead (ESPECIALLY if you live north of Lake Union)

[@tonyhilliarduk]

So here’s my view. Often I’ve found that if I can be flexible on dates and times that BA first can be only £200 or so more than Club World. If that’s the case I (obviously) always book it if only for the Tier points and Avios. I would agree with many that BA first hard product is like an excellent Business class on other carriers, but I really believe where BA excels is on service and catering in First. Most of the time however I fly Club World. I’m not super crazy about the new club suite. I think the door is a bit of a gimmick and I feel the whole ‘suite’ is a little claustrophobic. I think BA got a huge bashing for the previous 8 across Ying Yang design but apart from appalling storage space I always liked the open feeling and if you knew which seat to book you could have a window seat with direct aisle access. Not tried the new 777-300 First cabin yet but seems to be just with “added door”.

[@RickiAnthonyEllis]

The manual safety demo is because of the demonstration of removal of face masks when the oxygen drops. And sorry to correct you but there’s actually a new first suite which is more spacious and has a sliding door which is currently only on a couple of 777 variants but will be added to other aircrafts in due course :) great video.

[@pamberinehondo9447]

More spacious? Is it. BA have said that the addition of the door on the newly delivered 777 is an “adjustment “ and is the same suite as shown in this video. This suite is based on the current 787-10, 787-9 and A350 aircraft but with a door added

[@zack8501]

BA First is certainly not the best out there but the fact that the cabin is smaller than Club, the food is better, you get the Concorde room at LHR and more Avios plus more tier points, it’s my class of choice on BA.

[@erikwoods821]

I must say BA's First on the 787 & A380 are both really nice. The A380 is the winner. As for the 777...can take it or leave it.

Good one!! You should do a head to head on London to Singapore direct. First Class SQ and BA. Singapore Airlines should win on product so then it's all down to price and what discount would make you go BA, or not. Maybe not relevant for a solo passenger but for two or more price could be the game changer.

Nice review! I love it! One day I will try BA’s first class. Btw, and I don’t mean to ruin it or anything, but BA recently got a new B777-300ER with a new (modified) version of this suite with sliding doors. If you get a chance to review it, and if you can, can it a review and a comparison between the two (with and without a door), please? Just to see how they feel and if they feel differently. I know is a lot, but I curious about it. And project for another video. Other than that, great job and keep it going my friend! 😊👍🏼

[@Locutus]

I am flying JER-LHR-ORD-LAS, then LAS-HOU-LHR-JER in August 2023, with BA, in First. It cost less than £3,000, including hotel. I picked it up in the January sales. In the last week off the sale, they took another £100 off the pricing. There was only £1,000 difference in flying in economy, versus First. I thought that was a bargain. BA does have a sale on right now (March 2023), not sure how long for, but if you book hotel, or car, with your flight, you can get some good deals.

[@peternewnham6549]

Great video! I have been flying back and fore on BA between SEA and LHR for the past year. 12 passengers is about typical believe it or not. They have been doing the manual video I was told as they have to tell you to remove your personal mask before using the drop down oxygen mask.

I've travelled all 3 classes on BA, but First only once and Business many times. First is good, but I have to say for the price difference between Business and First I'd recommend people go Business. If you want the First experience then fair enough, but generally I find there are only a few additional touches in First that it's just not worth paying so much more. This is if you're paying out of your own pocket, of course.

You had that experience with the very very low passenger level flying on this flight. When I flew the first week after 9/11, I was flying Chicago to Los Angeles on 747-400s. So, our flight that first had about 2 people in First, about 10 people downstairs Business, 2 people upstairs Business, and about 21 it 22 people in Economy. So, my Flight Attendant staff if 14 and me had a lot of places to sit down and take a break during our first flight. During that month after 9/11, our wide body flights were not full at all.
