There are few airplanes with more Business Class seats than British Airways high-premium 747. They fit 86 Club World seats on this aircraft. And they can fill those seats! But is it because of BA's good product? Or just because passengers don't have any other option?

2021 UPDATE: The Boeing 747 is no longer part of British Airways' fleet. The Business Class seats seen in this video are still in use on some of their Boeing 777s, Boeing 787s and Airbus A380s. However, BA has introduced a new type of seat which is being rolled out across the long-haul fleet at the moment and can already be found on newly-delivered aircraft such as their A350-1000s. To see what they are like, please refer to fellow air travel blogger DENNIS BUNNIK's video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wvBrtXSueOI.html

British Airways is one of the few airlines which won't give up the 747s (That's a good thing), but it doesn't have its classic livery anymore with the corner of the British flag on the tail. Lufthansa still has 747s also, but they still have their old livery. American airlines (as we saw a number of when arriving in Philly) has new livery, and I like their present livery one better than their old one. But British Airways, I like the old one better, sorry. BA has a nice first class now though, as seen in this video

Here is what i love about flying. I love to do that so much. I don't know why i feel so happy when i do these things. Going to the airport, getting in the luggage line, passport control, entering the lounge if i can, going to the gate, sitting down to my seat, and take off. During these times i feel like i am in different world

The Boeing 747 was an amazing airplane. Shame they’ve been retired and are all being scrapped. I watched this show called Inside Mighty Machines and they were dismantling one of those flying beasts. They salvaged parts that could still function and eventually put them in other planes, including the engines. Then the rest of the plane was cut apart and sold for scrap

WrongNumberZ yes but the 777 fleet is getting the same club suites as the A350. Most of the Gatwick fleet already have it and they’re working on the Heathrow fleet. Or at least they were but not sure if still are due to current events. The 787-10 will have the new seats too

Hi David, not sure if you have any insight on this but here goes nothing. Whenever I sit on a rear facing seat, i.e. in a train or a car, I somewhat get motion sickness because I'm not facing the direction of travel. Do you think it could be the same feeling on a plane as well? As I want to try out rear facing seats on a plane one day.
@simply_aviation
@simply_aviation 3 года назад
It's hard to say...flying is certainly different than riding a train, but except for take off I don't think you'll even notice that you are facing the other way. I don't think it would be a problem for you, but I am not sure if I am the right person to tell you that because I also don't find facing the wrong way when riding on a train...

No!! Don't tell people about the B lounge! Those of us who use it want to keep it quiet. There must have been something wrong with your seat as they do fold flat. They're actually quite comfortable to sleep on and you have space to move your legs around without them being in a cubby hole, an issue with some other business class seats. They're also quite long which is good if you are tall, but the whole seat is quite narrow which isn't so good if you are not. A lot of people complain about having to step over others to get into some seats, but conversely the two in the middle are good if you are a couple. I've flown these plenty of times and compared with other airlines the whole experience is pretty average but it's better than being at the back (where I usually sit)

What makes Simply Aviation better then other flight review channels? Well it’s the fact that they show all the different classes on airlines and not just business or first class. I’ve seen other channels that focus way too much on either business or first class and barely shows economy class. Again Noel from Inflight and Paul Lucas comes to mind. They’re good channels but I kinda got the feeling they’re mostly avoiding regular economy class because they don’t fancy it. I know Noel is quite tall so I’ll give him a pass because not all economy classes suits a tall person. Again good channels but not for me. I’ll probably stick to watch Simply Aviation.
