Karen recently went to San Francisco with British Airways on a work educational (someone has to!) and flew out in Business Class and back in First Class, to fully test their in-flight service.
“I’ve seen quite a bit of the world since I started working at Escape Worldwide, but never flown in any class other than economy, so this was a completely new experience and one I thoroughly enjoyed, as you can imagine! The difference between Economy and Business Class is very impressive, and I can now appreciate why people are willing to pay quite a lot of money for it - the main difference being the fact you can get a decent night’s sleep!
There are about 20 seats in Club World (British Airway’s Business Class service) in pairs which are next to each other, but the two people are facing each other. There’s a screen in between the two seats if you wish to put this up for extra privacy – personally, my neighbour was such a pleasure to chat to that I didn’t feel the need for the extra privacy! The flight starts with a glass of champagne then there’s a good choice of wines on offer. The meal is excellent, a 3 course meal with a choice in each course. There’s a proper table for when you have your meal, and when you’re ready for some sleep, the seat slides down to become a bed. The entertainment system offers a wide choice of films, TV, music and games. All in all, the combination of comfort, entertainment, good food and good company made the long journey fly by – literally!
So, having got a good night’s sleep (after a couple of glasses of wine!) on the outbound journey I was very impressed, as you can imagine! We had a great time in San Francisco – more of that another time – then flew back First Class. This was a totally new experience for me and I was speechless for a while when I boarded, which is something that doesn’t happen to me very often!
There were just 12 seats in First Class, with a similar style bed and the seats again in pairs, but this time next to each other. The table is bigger and it is possible to sit opposite each other whilst having dinner as you would in any restaurant. The menu was stunning, starting with canap̩s, and you can order your dinner whenever you like rather than it being at a set time. The entertainment system is similar to that in Club World. The staff (who in both classes were excellent) will make up your bed for you if you wish Рthe duvet and pillow are really comfy, as are the complimentary pyjamas!
All in all this was one of the best work trips I’ve ever been on, San Francisco was fantastic and it was made all the better by the two flights!”
