With almost all BA short and medium haul now operated by A320-series/Neo aircraft, I’ve actually found the exit rows as being de facto PE and probably ends up being better than the business class product aside from not getting a meal. Because of the MCD, you probably get less legroom in business for the most part.
Useful on some of the longer 4-5 hour runs… double the price just for an extra airline meal!
Historically they used to operate the odd 747, 757, 767 on these routes. I guess maybe on the rare occasion you’d get the 787 now?
