During my long and horribly tedious overnight flight from Singapore to London in 2016, I took a moment to write down the things I don’t like about BA’s Business class product, which they call “Club World”.  This is what I wrote:

• The eight abreast seating (where the industry standard has moved to four abreast)
• The narrow seats
• The lack of shelves or stowage space at your seat, even for a magazine
• Backwards facing seats. (Every window seat faces backwards.)
• Closed window blinds on take-off and landing
• No wide area lighting at your seat, making it hard to find things at night
• No pyjamas provided on overnight flights
• No pre-take-off hot or cold towel
• The very mediocre food and drink offering
• The tiny lavatories
• Only filter coffee available
• Strangers climb over you when you’re trying to sleep, as they try to get to the aisle
• A cheap toiletries bag and amenities kit with poor contents
• There’s no privacy in your seat
• The staff
• Only one 500ml bottle of water per passenger
• The pathetic “Club Kitchen”. Mini KitKat anyone?
