My apologies. I promised a brief review of the flight and haven't got around to it until now, but a promise is a promise.
Our flight (BA 286, May 22, booked via AA) was fantastic! Firstly, the downside. Both my partner and I are in the TSA Pre programme so thought we could go through security without the usual rigmarole of getting half undressed, but sadly, this was not the case. I had boarding cards issued by American with TSA Pre on them, but apparently if you fly BA from the US, that doesn't count, so we had to return to check in to have no cards issued. Anyway, we got through in the end.
Boarding was easy and the person pushing my partner's wheelchair was allowed on board to help with bags - that was a nice touch and she got a nice tip! There were jet bridges to both decks.
The flight was good and the flight attendants were superb, especially helping my partner with one or two issues. The food was good but the seating arrangement in Club World was an issue on a long flight. It was hard for me to avoid disturbing another passenger in an aisle seat on the odd occasion I had to go to the loo. I think next time I'll certainly look at seat 54A or K. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, I discovered that 50B and J should be avoided, definitely not too private and subject to being disturbed.
The loo at the front on the left was enormous! Even the other was larger than most, and the upper deck was really quiet, it was easy to have a conversation without raising your voice.
As for the seat itself, well, it was comfortable enough but I found it a little cramped when trying to sleep. The AA 772 return flight had a much more comfortable lie-flat seat although the service wasn't in the same league as BA and storage space was almost non-existent. There was access to the aisle, though, even from a window seat which made up for that.
The one big downside was the disability assistance we got from LHR when we landed, which I mentioned in another post. Other than that, we both had an enjoyable and comfortable trip, and I have to say thank you to the flight attendants who were all wonderful!
And my partner adored the whole trip in the UK and Ireland (as did I)! It was nice to get back home for a few weeks for leaisure rather than work.
