After flying on BA115 in First Class, and the Return made in Club World, I'm now able to give a constructive review on the two classes. BA115 was the first time I flew in First Class, and BA112 which I completed this morning at 6:10am after 7hours 20minutes of flying.

First Class consits of 14 Seats in a Boeing 747 and Boeing 777, I travelled on the Boeing 747 variant, the registration being 'G-BNLO'. A Nice 747 with excellent ride quality. In First Class you get a variety of food options, the first is when you board the plane where you get a choice of Drinks and Nuts. Then later on in the flight you move onto a 4 Course meal. If your in British Airways First Class you'll have the noise of the Front undercarriage as it lowers and retracts. Its seats are equally as comfty. BA115 is 7hours and 35 Minutes flying from LHR (London Heathrow) to New York JFK (John F Kennedy Airport).


Now for BA112 the return flight that I bashed last night, the flight can be noted for being one of the smoothest as we didn't have any jerky bits during the flight at all, not even a shake. The Pilots said we were going slow because there was no slot for an early morning arrival, and eventually we were overtaken by a runty Virgin Atlantic Airbus (Runty being used because 747s are faster than A340-600s). But we made our flight into Heathrow bang on time, we were lucky to get out of JFK as it had snowed on the day we were leaving, Icy patches starting to freeze. British Airways new 'Club World' is as much the same as Firct Class, you have the same controls for a flat bed, a seat pocket, footstall, headrest, fold out TV, Movie Library, TV Library, and a huge choice of drinks. BA have made the new cabin really welcome, as you have some strange 1960s light and either end of the cabin and are welcomed with noisecancelling headphones <D :razz:, which I made sure were in use at all times. Our Maximum speed was 614 MPH and I recorded 1001KM on the TV. Our route followed the top of some American Islands then we made a northernly crossing over the atlantic to then turn south to go over oxford and do a few loops over london to end up on 27R.



That is the End of My Review, I'm sorry for the harsh grammar:razz:.

You went to America?

I went to New York then Japan then Hong Kong then Japan again.

New York BA (9-17 March 2007)
Japan BA (18-26 July 2007)
Hong Kong New Zealand Airlines (1-6 Nov 2007)
Japan (2) Virgin Atlantic. (9-17 November 2007)

I thought the best was New Zealand Airlines and the Worst being Virgin Atlantic.

Looking to go to Australia this year
