We had bulk head seats so plenty of legroom. However the seats were hard and with very little rake. The blankets were inadequate and we froze all night. We think not worth the £250 each extra one way. better off buying a well placed economy seat.

LHR-FRA-LHR. Sat in the rear economy cabin which is nice. The combination of A380 ride and cabin comfort with the BA economy seat product works well.

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.

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.

Ian Graham (United Kingdom)
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.

Martin Owen (United Kingdom)
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.

The price paid for Traveller Plus is not worth it as the seat width is very poor for the larger person. Power is only for laptop; not c-pap machine as quoted. Solid sided seats with controls on inside of seat and meal tray coming out of arm rest is suitable for small people only. Premium economy is only say 3 points better than economy where Club Class is way ahead.

S Fung (South Africa)
BA for some weird reason insist on using these old planes on the Cape Town to London route preferring to use new planes on the Johannesburg route. We chose the World Traveller Plus product because it is a more spacious seat with a little more recline. But having flown it a few times I have decided that it is not worth the extra money. I'd rather fly economy and save my money for a decent hotel room for a few nights. Why does BA insist on using the old seats and old AVOD system with small screens?
