BRITISH AIRWAYS PREMIUM ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 747-400

Date :   26 April 2013

Review by : P Porciani (Italy)

WT+ from JFK to LHR. I was in the middle seat. Generally I avoid it but in this case I forced by a delay on my scheduled flight so I changed at last minute to catch the flight before. Therefore I scored half point less than when I had an aisle seat in the same cabin. Food is not very good as it is the same from WT. Nice service and amenities.

British Airways Premium Economy offer on 747s is very poor. The seats were shabby and dilapidated with small video screens. Access to the light and call buttons was difficult and poorly designed as they are on the inside of the armrest in a narrow seat. The recline was poor as was the leg rest which is poorly designed and doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Everything else - check in, food, beverages (including poor white wine) was standard Economy class. British Airways need to improve cabin and service standards to catch up with other airlines. All in all a thoroughly poor experience flying with BA which we will nor repeat again in a hurry!

BRITISH AIRWAYS PREMIUM ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 777-200ER

Date :   21 April 2013

Review by : J Highlands (UK)

I see it as a great deal the seat has a lot more comfort than in WT and you get the business class food which is alright. The only few things I could complain about was the fact that I had to use vile, urine smelling lavatories that looked like they had been vandalised. And also the useless, uninspiring staff that all looked like they had swallowed a wasp. Four hours into the flight they had got bored and were all playing scrabble on their iPhones at the back of the plane and you had to go and ask them for a drink and even then they gave you the evils and threw it at you. Can't beat a good douse of British hospitality!

The seat was okay in every way. It was reasonably comfortable (for a 12 hour flight) and the AVOD was reasonable. I am 6ft tall and found the legroom a little tight, especially when sleeping, but it was okay. The biggest problem was trying to get out from my window seat across two further seats, but I am fit and the exercise was good for me.

BRITISH AIRWAYS ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - AIRBUS A320

Date :   19 January 2013

Review by : Ian Graham (UK)

Sat in Row 27B and the seats have no recline due to toilets behind. Seat pitch poor, felt very cramped, especially when person in front reclined seat. Seats not very wide either. Coming back on a A320 again, sat in an emergency exit (overwing seat) and even though they were supposed to have a bit more legroom, still felt cramped. Glad it was only a 2 hr flight.

LHR-JFK-LHR. Outbound flight my wife and I were stuck with two seats on the left of a four seater in the middle of Economy - not great and leg room was poor (especially when seat in front reclined). On return sector, selected two seats together during online check-in at the rear of Economy where the aircraft narrows - meaning the configuration switches from 3x4x3 to 2x4x2. Much more legroom and plenty of storage space - plus decent accessibility. Generally, the seats on the BA 747s are reasonably comfortable and have a clever adjustable headrest which provides good neck support. The seats are not the new slim-line versions used by other carriers and so have decent padding. Definitely adequate for a 7 hour flight - but am sure on long flights to HKG, SIN, SYD or NRT, discomfort could become an issue. Both B747s we traveled on must have been over 15 years old but in good shape - clean cabin and toilets etc. No issues with food and service was good, (although an observation - BA don't tend to station cabin crew in the Economy cabin during boarding to assist passengers with luggage / finding seats etc - unlike Middle-Eastern / Asian carriers). Only real issues were overcrowding at BA's Terminal 7 as JFK and the IFE screen very small. BA charge a extortionate amount to pre-book seats prior to online check in opening. Best advice is to just complete online check-in early to ensure best seat selection.

Seats looked dated, thin and not much leg room either. I was lucky to get a exit seat into the flight so was a bit more happy.
