The Business Configuration is an absolute disaster. Worst experience ever. Either you climb or you are being climbed over. Also very little storage is available near the seat. It is dark and unpleasant. When food is delivered and you are sitting in the middle, the divider is opened which is also annoying for the guest in the opposite seat. Also, two toilets for almost 30 passangers is a problem. You can see that the people that designed this configuration and more the ones that approved it, have never used it!Advise: find another airline/plane!

if travelling together as a couple, choose the two seats upstairs ie 2-4-2 config.No clambering over strangers, the upstairs 'duo' are good value, lots of additional storage at the side in window bulkhead bins. Yes there is an entertainment box on the floor, but with the additional floor space at the side of the seats, this is not a problem, plus, upstairs, you tend to get lesser families/children!

Dreadful seat. There's a large open landing area in front of the seat leading to the toilets and the stairs down to First. At the right hand side of the seat is the wardrobe where passengers come and hang clothes.The landing is shielded by a curtain after take off. If it isn't clipped into the bulkhead in front of seat 50D people going to/from the toilets pull the curtain wide open and leave it resulting in a gale coming up the stairs. If it is clipped into position they come through the middle of the curtain and walk into your outstretched legs. Finally there's no storage space or a self to put thing other than drawer at foot level.

Bizarre that this seat is marked red. It is true that there is no window, and you don't have the side bins that the other window seats have upstairs. BUT there is absolutely acres of space in front of you, as you are by a large emergency exit door. So if you want a feeling of space, it's great. Better than Premium economy in that respect

A380 first class seat. Roomy, if a little old fashioned. Layout could be much better but very comfy for an overnight or long flight.

I had 14J and my son had 14K. This plane even though it's a 777 was the same as the 388. no difference. No room. no side tables no storage. small seats. whole seat does not lie down, only seat back. pull ottoman down from seat in front of you. very small. very uncomfortable. FA were wonderful. . But over all very disappointed in plane. I flew last year with American, on a 777 and the difference is astounding@! Lot's of room, complete seat that repositions and lies down. lot's of room, lots of storage. Will not fly BA again if I can help it.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/08/30 for Seat 52K

I had seat 52K and my son had 53K upper deck. I had no storage except one little storage compartment. No place to put anything. It was very small. seat was small and I am not a huge person. My son is a fair size man, and he was crammed into a small seat. he at least had a side area next to the window to put things. the seat only layed down with the seat back. the feet were an ottoman from the seat in front of me. very uncomfortable. very small. The service was very good. FA were wonderful very attentive. But for the money I paid and the miles I used for the upgrade, I was very disappointed. I will not fly BA again if I can help it. I did fly back on BA, a 777. And it was the same. same type of plane.no difference.

The whole rear section of the upper deck of AB380 (rows 80-83) has much smaller (50% less) overhead storage for carry on bags. I guess the plane fuselage narrows at this point. So hard to find a place to store your bag if you are last on, and if first on late comers abuse existing bags trying to get their's in!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/07/23 for Seat 68F

68D and 68F are directly adjacent to the lavatory (not in front or behind). This means that it is impossible to sleep as you are literally 40cm from the lavatory door opening and closing. It is also a push door which means that it rarely closes automatically. These seats should not be classed "premium" in any sense.

The seat on my LHR-HKG was pretty normal. BTW, the English Breakfast was amazing. Also, the English Breakfast has no baked beans which was good because I don't like baked beans. Unfortunately, the first meal wasn't too good.

This was my first time on A380. My Flight was a codeshare... AA on BA. I was very disappointed with my Business Class Experience. The upper deck BC is 2/3/2 seats, alternating forward and back facing. Passengers are separated by a plastic partition that goes up and down. I was on the aisle. Every time they brig a drink or food to the middle or window seat passenger the divider goes up and down... very noisy. When window or middle seat passengers need to get up they have to climb over aisle passengers. The seat in front of me was broken... to make the lay flat bed work, they had to use the foot portion of my my lay flat bed as a sort of pump. This was a late afternoon flight. Window passengers did not put down their shades. Flight attendants were very nice and apologized for having to disturb me because of the broken seat in front of me.

All economy (World Traveller Plus and World Traveller) seats on the upper deck have very limited luggage space.

This was return trip on 747 in a WT+ seat, after flying out on the A380 WT+ this was a different animal. No AC until engine start. Foot room bad due to Feet fitting around the IFE boxes. Tiny Video screen 5 inch at most that had lines in it. And most annoying was the remote control in armrest when you even get close to it with your hip raises volume or changes channel. Food was average, cabin attendants were better then WT and nice. I agree with other posts that this aircraft needs an upgrade and is dated.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/05/12 for Seat 41G

Seat 41G contributed to the worst airplane trip I ever endured. Legroom is bad due to the famous "metal box" under the front seat. With the close proximity of the toilets, your hear every details of the marvellous sounds produced in these not-at-all-soundproofed cabinets. The aisle next to you is where the fairly long queue for the bathroom forms. People waiting do use the top of your seat as a standing armrest, much like a convenient bar counter for casual talk with your toilet companions, making 41G an ever shaking massage seat, which may sounds lovely but isn't a nice thing for a 10h night flight.On top of that on this particular flight we were served dinner very late, due to a shortage of meals. Cabin crew was lovely but totally overwhelmed by the situation. Seat 41G already means you're going to have a meal at the very end of the service, but here we were already very sleepy when eventually the crew managed to find us something to eat. This led to an awkward situation where another crew member offered us an "herbal tea for a good night of sleep" as we were only starting with the starter salad of the meal.In the end, I found that the seat design and cabin arrangement of this BA A380 were very bad. Even though the crew seemed very nice and professionnal, and the plane well handled and on time, we did not not comfortable in those seats. By comparison, the trip in 25C for the outward journey was far better.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/05/02 for Seat 50A

Seat 50A (with its "missing window") creates a dark cocoon for the transatlantic flight home to the UK. You are secluded, draught-free and perfectly settled for a good night's flight home on the quietest airliner in the skies. Plus, you are a short walk from the most-spacious toilet on any airliner in the world - front toilet, above the drivers, with room to dance! Your companion in 50B faces forward onto a very spacious floor area, with several curtains to "kill" the draught which might come up the forward staircase from First.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/04/25 for Seat 53K

Used to think this was the best seat in the house - it is for day flight but have now been kept awake on 2 night flights by inconsiderate cabin crew in the galley. Food service noise is one thing but all night chatter is totally unnecessary but unfortunately common lately. The forward cabin is still probably the best but I would go further forward if you want to sleep - and accept the aisle access problem.

Submitted by Susan W on 2019/04/09 for Seat 21A

I was in seat 21A for a flight from LHR to ORD. I always prefer a window seat so I can sleep, but that is not possible with this plane, as the rounded shape of the plane creates too much space, so no way to lean one's heat on the wall. Also, the control boxes for the entertainment took up a large amount of floor space, making storing my backpack very difficult. British Air operates this flight and the staff were wonderful, and the food was quite good. Overall a good flight, albeit with no sleep.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2019/04/07 for Seat 53A

Avoid this business class seat. It’s proximity to the galley makes it incredibly noisy & more specifically because the galley on this side of the plane has the fridge & other spaces the crew constantly accesses. 53K does not have the same issues.

Awful location sandwiched between port & starboard lavatories. These lavatories are in near continual use and as this is a 13 hour + flight with smells, doors opening & closing & lights flashing quite unacceptable. Doubly so as BA expect extra payment for this World Traveller + seat.

Leg rook worst ive ever seen. The entertainment box in seat in front combined with the exit seat armrest means severely restricted leg room width. Avoid

Submitted by Marek K on 2018/09/22 for Seat 53K

In my opinion, this might be the best seat in the house. Other than having to pay 200$ to reserve it ahead of time (cash grab) it offers unfettered access to the aisle.Unless the cabin crew is bashing around, its pretty quiet, and ask for an extra pillow for a superb sleep if you're an individual 6'4 or less and aren't wide as a house. In that case opt for the aisle.Super private and amazingly quiet. British Airways have been tinkering with the menus of late and the offerings of steak (hard as a rock) or pheasant (pretty good) are accompanied by starters like Scottish Salmon (delicious) or Superfood Salad (chopped kale, anyone?) Overall, enjoyable and restful.

Flew LHR>Bos in upper deck WT+, I am 6ft 5 & 20 stone, overall a comfortable seat with enough room to stretch out, the "bins" by the window are great and have plenty of room for storage, IFE was very good. Very quiet upstairs & would do it again. My only complaint was the toilet! tiny is not the word! and for a tall guy, well lets just say not alot of room with the curvature of the ceiling. That aside a great plane.

Submitted by Michael R on 2018/09/10 for Seat 35K

Flew on G-XLEI from LHR to ORD with my wife and toddler. It was really good to have the extra space and bulkhead table. Even though I had wanted to sit in the upper deck, 35A-C and 35H-K are the only seats at bassinet positions with a window and with three seats to one bulkhead table. I'm glad we chose those seats. Being over 6 feet tall, I felt like the width and legroom were adequate. My wife needed to put something under her legs to be comfortable, however. I could imagine being able to see into the galley from 35H would be annoying on an overnight flight, but the crew were careful to keep curtains closed and were also quite helpful. Highly recommend row 35 for families traveling with a little child, and we were able to explore the upper deck anyway.

Submitted by Tamara T on 2018/08/26 for Seat 63K

Excellent pair of seats in WT+, perfect for couples travelling together. Tons of leg room and a nice adjustable foot rest as well. The seat reclines very far, but when the seat in front of yours is reclined, it makes it a bit challenging to leave your own seat. All rows in WT+ (seats A, B, J, K) have two large side cubbies for your belongings, except row 63 (J and K) which only has one cubby as the other cubby is locked and does not open. IFE system was excellent with lots of good new releases, but it did go down on both flights I had for about one hour. Bathrooms in WT+ are at the back of the cabin and must be shared with WT which is a bit annoying. You have to go through the curtain into WT to enter the bathroom.

Myself and my family had the misfortune to sit in the 'bad' seats 68D, E and F on an overnight flight from SFO to LHR. These seats have toilets directly on either side; these are within touching distance of seats D and F. Consequently, this was a thoroughly miserable and sleepless flight due to the smell, noise and light resulting from the constant stream of fellow passengers using the toilets. It is outrageous that we paid a World Traveller Plus premium for these exceptionally bad seats.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/06 for Seat 23A

This was a standard World Traveler (Economy)seat on the lower level from LHR to ORD. I think this has been under-stated in prior comments, but in the window seats you will lose approximately 40% of your (already severely limited) leg room due to the support of the seat in front of you, combined with the entertainment system box that sits inside of that. If you want to extend your legs, you will be forced to sit at an angle the entire flight, and keep your legs glued together to avoid intruding on the space of the passenger in the middle seat. 40% less legroom - this is not an exaggeration. Fortunately, I was traveling with family, so was able to put a small child in this seat, with my wife and I in the middle and aisle seats. I'm not sure who gets paid to design these planes, but it is a truly terrible design. Some have mentioned additional storage space on the side, but that is not true of the lower level seats. These window seats should all be labelled yellow.

A great Club World seat with extra overhead storage and slightly more space when the seat is fully reclined. A good option for taller folks.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/08/04 for Seat 52A

I flew LHR-SFO on this aircraft for the first time. Business class seating is awful. Seats are side by side in opposing directions so that your privacy is seriously reduced. There is a translucent screen that goes up and down if you want to shut out your fellow passenger from view; however, the screen only works after take-off , and during meals it must be raised and lowered so that the attendant can reach across to deliver food trays and other materials. If you are seated in an aisle seat, the attendant is reaching across you to serve the window seat. The cubbies for storage are so small that even my computer bag did not fit. The worst part of these seats is that if you are seated at the window, you must climb over the footrest of the passenger seated on the aisle of the next row. Each time I got up to use the restroom, I had to do an almost acrobatic move to get out. I'm pretty flexible and found it challenging, so I imagine it must be near impossible to get out if you have any mobility issues. Simply an awful, awful design.

One of the cubbies for seat 58A is unusable and poses a minor inconvenience (the other 2 cubbies are still useable). The unusable cubby has a piece of mechanical equipment in it.

75A definitely has reduced foot room under the seat in front. There are electronics boxes on both sides. However, you have a storage bin next to you, and there is enough room next to 74A or your seat to put a standard brief case or purse. The seat pitch and width is small for an international flight.

Flew this plane from LAX to London and back. THIS IS THE MOST MISERABLE PLAND I HAVE FLOWN...EVER! We flew economy and the seats are a cattle car. Cramped, small tray, no leg room and when the passenger in front of you reclines his seat you are trapped. The ask everyone to set seat upright to serve meals as you cannot use tray and eat if the seat in front is reclined. The armrest between seats will only go up 68% so is useless to get out. WE WILL NEVER FLY THIS PLANE AGAIN! AND IF ALL BA PLANES ARE LIKE THIS WILL NEVER FLY BA AGAIN EITHER. Flying is a chore, not a pleasure.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/05/29

First time on A380: best plane I've flown. Very quiet, adequate overhead bins. Our seats were very good; close enough to restroom, but far enough so there was no disturbance. Nice extra stowage beside the window seat. Plenty of leg room, seats and aisles are a bit wider than standard. Food OK, cabin attendants very attentive. Entertainment system was very good, though the touch screen on mine didn't work; the remote did. The woman behind me kept messing with her touchscreen the whole flight, which kept me awake: tap, tap, tap. Jerk! I recommend spending the extra $$ for this section, and these seats.

Club World seats 14 B&D LHR - BOS. Seat pods taken from BA 777s and fork-lifted to the 380, with just a wider aisle. Same stupid 2-4-2 herringbone layout, staring at the person on the other side of the partition. Since it was a day flight, being near the toilet not a major issue, but could be if trying to sleep. Service was ok, meals were horrible, snacks non existent.

PLEASE do not be tempted to choose this seat unless you do not want to see out of any window. I made the mistake of paying an extra £100 for this "window" seat. It is shameful of BA to ask anyone to pay extra for this. People who book a window seat generally do so because they want to see out!

On all the seats, the armrest only goes up to about 60 degrees. That means if you don't have someone next to you the armrest still blocks that space and it is very difficult to get comfortable. HATE this plane

Had a record 10+ hrs of sleep in this seat on the flight from HK to LHR. Important to drink plenty of good wine and get fed before boarding and fill out the piece of paper that says maximise sleep and handing over to cabin crew. Airbus 380 is relatively quiet but I do wish they re-configure to fishbone arrangement, as looking across to a stranger isn't the most comfortable when the partition is down.

LHR-JNB, 53 D&E outbound, 53 A&B return. Even though we were in the center section on the outbound, I enjoyed these seats better than the window/aisle on the return. FA's were working during the flight and they set up the club kitchen for in-flight snacks in the galley behind these seats. Seemed very noisy on the return flight. Seats were very comfortable, great AVOD. Flight attendants on both flights were great! Would definitely fly this aircraft and BA again.

People say these seats are bad as next to the toilet but it depends on what you want. I always prefer to have no one behind me so the seats were great, for economy. You get normal recline and no one banging on your seat. The toilet door was set further back and didn't line up with the seats anyway. I didn't find the 2 entertainment boxes (that everyone goes on about on here) a problem at all, if anything I found resting my foot on top of one of them quite comfortable. Storage box in the window seat is so handy and being in the last row of the section no one else ends up leaning on it (they are all offset to the seats) found leg room fine, but seats are narrow and head rest is not great. Not as quiet as I expected on the top deck, sounded just like any other plane really. Entertainment system kept crashing for everyone, mine had to be reset by crew 7 times on 13 hour flight, also same with other people around me - it seemed to be linked to the interactive map.

Seats 68D & 68E seats were directly in line with the TOILETS on this overnight flight to Singapore we were constantly disturbed by other passengers from Economy & World Traveller Plus going to the Toilet through the night . They often left the TOILET light on & sometimes still dressing themselves as they came out. The curtains dividing Economy & World Traveller Plus were continually left open. We certainly would have been better off in Economy & not paid extra for World traveller Plus.

I would definitely make 53A/B and 53 J/K "yellow, be aware" seats as (in 53A) I was disturbed all night by crew talking in the galley (even though they were not being deliberately loud) and just generally preparing meals and clattering about. I'd perhaps even make 53A and 53K "red" seats as they face backwards and you get a lot of light from the galley shining on you, even with the curtain supposedly there to stop that.

Good legroom and storage above and under the window. Generally quiet upper deck compartment 2-3-2 configuration. Close to lavatory but no queue or noise.

LHR to JNB out in 51J back in 52J. Upstairs in the forward cabin is definitely the place to be if you are in Club on the A380 - a relatively small cabin and proximity to the very large toilets at the front of the plane. But the seat and configuration is so out of date now it's an embarassment. Half the passengers have to climb over someone's legs to get out, you may be looking at a complete stranger opposite you, the seat is narrow and has virtually no storage space. BA is lagging so far behind the competition it's a disgrace. Time to bring your premium products into the 21st century BA. If I had a choice I would never fly BA Club World.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2018/03/05 for Seat 30A

Your general review section notes that there is restricted legroom in seats A and K for the lower deck (economy). That is an understatement. There is no way for the passenger to sit straight with the media equipment placed in that area. The passenger has to sit at an angle and will often end up sharing legroom with the passenger in "B". Given that these are long-haul aircraft, that can end up being a long, uncomfortable ride. I recommend labeling ALL A and K seats on lower deck economy YELLOW.

Generally, the A380 is a very quiet plane. However, in the compartment behind the bulkhead at row 80 the noise level is significantly higher than further forward and the overhead bins are small because of the tail cone taper.Aim for a seat in the upper deck, row 77 or less!

Immediately next to the entrance to the crew quarters. Throughout the night there is a constant stream of crew in and out of the door which has a really bright light streaming out of it making it impossible to sleep. I had paid an extra £62 to prebook this exit seat but wouldn’t take it for free.

Seat had good space. Plenty of leg room for a 5' 9" person. I was comfortable the entire flight (10 1/2 hours). Loved the extra storage bin next to the window. Was able to store items that I'd normally put under the seat in front of me. But having that storage gave me room to move my feet around. Entertainment was good. Touch screen is a little sluggish but you can use the handheld remote for better response. The only minor issued I had was that the seat in front of me tilted back so far that it made it hard to get out of the seat to use the head. Other than the mild body contortions to get out of the seat, it was a very good flight.

plus points: quiet plane, upper deck less crowded, window seat storage box.Negative: extremely uncomfortable cattle class seat; insufficient toilets; aircon condensation leaked on me; inflight entertainment system broken on 11+hr flight; as others have mentioned, you spend the flight twisted as the in flight entertainment box restricts legroom to about a foot and not straight ahead of the seat.

These seats should not be sold as a premium offer, both aisle seats are literally 3 feet away from a toilet each serving close to 50 passengers on a full flight. The toilets are screened off by a two section curtain which is on an angle but staff will unless prompted (or you do it yourself) only close one of them. The second issue raised in prior reviews was the level of recline, I asked BA online services to conform the level of recline up front, the responses moved between evasive and not knowing, I can confirm that this row in the plane G-XLEB does have the standard level of recline as other seats so for at least that plane the level of recline is not an issue. The staff were really good on the flight, flying out to Hong Kong we flew the other flight which was in a 777-300, if you have the choice between an A380 and a 777-300 then go for the 777, all of the seats in premium economy are far better than this row. Given the choice between this or the A350/B777 options on this route, you'd definitely avoid this plane in this class.

Almost all of the club window seats have a restriction on aisle access and you have to climb over/disturb someone. Compared to Emirates/Etihad/Qatar and even American this is very poor business class. Given the high price BA change for the LHR-LAX sector they need to do better. I will not fly this again and would take a multi leg with American in preference

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/10/23 for Seat 72G

72G is an aisle seat. Limited space for legs and feet because there is a metal box on the lefthand side of the foot space. This row for some reason had less legroom than all the other rows around us so it was really tight and, when the person in front of me reclined (which they did for about 90% of the BOS-LHR trip) their setback was no more than a foot away from my face. This is a basic world traveller seat. The seats are shoddily constructed of cheap materials and offer very poor support. They reminded me of seats on some small puddle-jumpers. Very uncomfortable trip. The ride of the plane was pretty smooth though.

First time on a 380 and we were in business class. Will NEVER fly this plane again. Flew lax-lhr in a 777 and loved it, I'm 6'4" and had plenty of room to lay flat. On the return flight the 380 did not have enough room which I could live with but having to either have somebody step over you or worse having to step over somebody is a terrible layout. My wife was crying because ahe couldn't get out, the guy had crossed his legs and was sleeping. Had to wake him up just to use the bathroom. Also having food and drink being passed over me wasn't cool.

BA don't count this as an exit row seat, so it doesn't cost any more to select it when you can do so for free. Being near the toilet didn't bother me, but I suppose it could be more of an issue on a longer flight (this was just BOS-LHR). One thing to be aware about is that there isn't any overhead storage directly above this seat so you may struggle to store your bag if you're late getting onboard and the lockers aren't too big on the upstairs cabin anyway.Overall though, a pleasant flight and I think the person on the inside could easily step over your legs without waking you if you were trying to sleep.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/24 for Seat 67B

I thought this seat was excellent. Some people have criticised the nearness to the lavatory, but I found no problems whatsoever on a flight to San Francisco. In fact the curtains between cabins close so as to include the toilet in the World Traveller rather than WT Plus section, so the only problem is finding your way through the gap in the curtains back to your seat! One bonus to this seat is there is nobody behind you, so you can recline as much as you like!

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/08/22 for Seat 59K

I chose 59K as unlike almost all other seats in Business Class on the A380 you can get in and out without having to step over someone. 59K did allow for easy access and it was very private. But, I still strongly prefer any Business Class seat on American's 77W's.

My husband and I flew this aircraft from IAD to LHR 7/6/17. This was a lovely business class experience. The seat was spacious, comfortable, and had ample storage. The flat bed option was wonderul and I slept like a baby. I must also say that the crew at British Airways impress me. They were quick to anticipate our needs before we even asked and they were helpful and charming and made the experience even better. I must mention Philippa in particlar. Lovely woman and exceptionally competent at her job. If given the choice, I would fly business class with BA again. It is worth the extra money. I can't say that for every airline's business class service- I can for BA. Great job BA!

Love this seat. The side locker is fantastic, plenty of storage space. Will swallow a laptop, your shoes, lots of other stuff. These seats do have an equipment box right in the middle of your footspace, so you have to straddle either side of it, but its not as bad in practice as you think it will be when you first look down and see it. The only real problem with this seat is the reduced overhead storage space. The lockers are much smaller and soon fill up so get in early. And dont even think about trying to store any of these so called 'cabin approved' suitcases in there. Sit downstraits if you have anything bigger than a laptop rucksack.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/06/24 for Seat 80A

80A isn't all bad. True that it doesn't have a window however the exit door does not protrude at floor level (it protrudes about 2 feet or more above the floor level so does not impede legroom at all, in fact there is extra legroom both in front and off to the side where the door is). Also no problem with cold, in fact I could feel warm air blowing at foot level by the door. Also no storage in front or off to the side. I would definitely take this seat again though purely for the legroom which is suberb (I am 6'1").

Submitted by David H on 2017/06/06 for Seat 1A

One expects there to be a lot of room on an A380 and the British Airways configuration in First Class does not disappoint. The open-suite seat design had plenty of room for a long ocean-crossing flight. The table was large enought that it could accommodate a tablet set up on it to watch a movie with plenty of room for your meal. There were ample power sources to charge your devices with adapters for US and UK plugs. I found the UK plugs stayed in place better than the US did, which is the case on most every plane I've flown. The 3-prong design gives them stability that you dont get from the double-prong US plug. The best feature of this seat was the amount of storage it had at floor level. I was able to put both my rolling carry-on bag, as well as my shoulder bag in the closet built into the divider separating the foot well/ottoman area of the suite from the aisle, meaning I never even used the overhead storage at all. One thing I would note on the BA A380s is that the First Class bathrooms on the lower deck, while a bit above average in size, are nowhere near as large as the two Business Class bathrooms at the front of the plane on the upper deck, which are located on either side of the stairway. They are incredibly spacious, have plenty of room for changing and are the largest I've encountered on any commercial plane. Still, when it comes to roominess at your seat, the First Class open-suite offered on the BA A380 is excellent!

In world traveler plus the seat recline is increased over standard plus all the seats have fixed armrests for trays and audio controls etc. This means if the seat in front is reclined and you are not sitting in an aisle seat you have to climb out and stand on the seats, you cannot lift the armrest and slide.

This is the last row on the upper deck - but unlike others immediately forward of a bulkhead, there is space for these seats to recline fully. So you can lean back and have no risk of a person behind you shoving and kicking you in the back while you're trying to get some kip. I use my own noise-cancelling headphones so any noise from the kitchen behind is easily ignored.

Picked this seat because no one was up on the upper deck with plenty of empty seats all around. It was the same the night before when I could've made a change at no cost. Well, don't be like me because something happened and suddenly those so called "empty seats" got all booked up, including the seat next to me in 82A. The seat was cramped, they drew the curtain next to the galley, which also meant that everyone exited throwing the curtain back without regard to the fact that I was sitting right there - I nearly got poked in the eye TWICE by careless people - once by a flight attendant and another passenger. Very disappointed with BA in general over their service and it didn't help matters one bit that everyone kept going back to the galley. Steer clear of this seat!!

When travelling Economy on British Airways A380, it is always best to choose a seat on the main deck as (1) the upper deck is more 'compact' and can feel claustrophobic and (2) there is very little luggage space in overhead bins on the upper deck.

I am amazed by the relatively mild comments regarding the metal boxes that house the entertainment system which are situated in the footwell in front of this seat and many like it. They are uncomfortable and in my view dangerous. The cramped conditions present a high risk of dvt on a long haul flight and in any kind of incident the metal edges could cause serious injury. Whoever signed off the design should be invited to sit in these seats for a few transatlantic flights! Avoid them at all cost.

Travelled from SFO to LHR in Club World. The Upper deck forward cabin is by far the best to choose when on a long overnight flight. As the staircase down to the lower deck is blocked off for passengers - you don't get any passing traffic through this part of the plane. The toilets upstairs are the biggest I have ever seen on any aircraft. Row 51 is a great part of the plane. far enough forwards to minimise disruption. Seat was comfortable and I love the feeling of lying backwards - particularly at take off and landing. The food was satisfactory. I have had better on other airlines in business class. Entertainment was good - plenty of choice. Crew were super attentive. A380 is a pleasure to fly on - so quiet you dont relaise just how big the plane is. Will definitely use this option again

I am blown away by the fact that apparently no market research was done on this aircraft before it was launched.I can't believe that, in business class, people would be happy with having to climb over a stranger's legs in order to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Unless you are an acrobat, you will probably hit their legs and wake them up (which happened to me). My wife ended up standing on her seat, climbed over the partition, stepped on to my seat and went to the restroom. Luckily, I was her companion or she would have embarrassed her self.

The set is close to the galley and there is noise from the crew. However, you can easily leave your seat without climbing over other seats, which is convenient. While BA was pioneering flat bed seats in business, it is a bit falling behind now due to the fairly narrow seats. Yet, the seats facing the isle offer most space. Seats in the main deck also provided me very early exit from the plane in SF.Food was very nice on the flight I had, I was positively surprised by quality and taste. Service was mindful and professional.Video system is ok, but I find the screen a bit small and difficult to adjust. Other airlines have a better setup meanwhile. Selection of movies was o.k.

After a long time I flew on a BA longhaul route again and it was my first time on the A380. This Economy Class seat offers comfortable space, a storage room at the window-side and quite some legroom (I am 184cm tall). The crew was friendly, but then I never had an unfriendly crew when travelling on BA, and the food, overall, was very good. And... believe me, I am the first to complain about airline food. There was a nice lunch, some small snacks in-between and another light meal before landing. The crew served drinks throughout the flight. I would and possibly will fly this BA aircraft anytime again. Nothing to complain about, except maybe the rather high costs involved, should you wish to pre-assign these upper deck seats (62 Swiss Francs, my currency).

The offset seat supports of row in front meant that legroom was restricted and off to the left when my bag was placed under the seat. This was slightly made up for by the lack of a seat support between the middle two seats, but as this was shared with a stranger it was a little awkward to sit comfortably. The galley is a few rows in front of these seats and the constant talking at normal volume throughout this night flight made it even harder to get any sleep.

Appalling. There shouldn't be a seat there, it's directly next to the toilet seat. When people left the door open I could just reach accross and close it without even leaning, that's how close it is.

Window seats in premium economy on the BA A380s are the best in the cabin, as you have storage bins below the windows and gives you far more storage space and more room to spread generally. You do sometimes hear the toilet flush in this seat, but its very quiet and didn't really disturb me. I dont think this seat reclines quite as far as those not in front of the toilet/bulkhead either which would be frustrating on a night flight if trying to sleep.

The backwards-forwards layout is a bit awkward, and the screens are relatively poor. On the plus side, I like the window seats - they provide a kind of mini private cabin, and 53K has the advantage of not needing to climb over someone to get out. (NB Lots of people complain about this - for me it is no great hassle as long as you are reasonably fit and agile, but probably not recommended for someone with mobility difficulties. If I was flying on a corporate tab, BA's offering is not as good as most major European or Asian major airlines. But often BA offers cheaper and more flexible fares in Business, and if a flat bed and sleep is the priority, BA is just fine.

Loved this seat. The upper deck for Club World is very quiet and private. I picked 53E because I didn't want to have to climb over anyone in the middle of the night on my LAX-LHR flight. The unrestricted aisle access is great and with the wall in front of you, the seat feels exceptionally private when the dividers are up. I also felt like the flight crew went out of their way to make sure I didn't feel "forgotten" in my little pod. Would definitely recommend this seat for anyone flying Club World.

Even if some People say, These seats would be something "Special or extraordinary", I have to say, they are NOT!I had These seats at least at 30 flights with BA, if I wasn´t seated in First, where I belong to.If you´re seated at those seats... OK, you do NOT have to climb over somebody elses feet.BUT!Be SURE, you DON´T want so sleep, as 53 A&K are very Close to the Galley, Crew ALWAYS seem to gather here, having small talk about whatever, talking about passengers, laughing, etc. etc.VERY ANNOYING!NEVER, really NEVER choose THESE seats!Now, 59 A&K:Very Close to that "World Traveller Plus":A LOUDER cabin, as it´s not THAT "Exclusive" by People itself., BUT....If there are People with an Infant... HAVE FUN!It will be LOUD!Another fact is, that paxes from WTP will always come to exclusive Club World to have a look and they also want to use "our" Toilets!This is an absolute no-go!It´s always lound on These seats, so better Forget them. I would never pay that extra Charge for These seats, but definately prefer FIRST instead, or to use other Airlines.Service in Club World is always OK, but it bothers me, that most flighattendants do just lower the Screen instead of Walking around to serve me.I don´t want to see the faces of Strangers seated at the aisle!

I have never been so cold on a plane before. This seat (and 20A, the equivalent seat on the other side of the plane) is right next to the emergency exit door jamb, and the cold coming in from the point where the door joins the plane wall is intense. I certainly under-estimated it, despite being warned in the seat plan commentary. Note that, although it looks as though you're near the loos, those are reserved for Club Class passengers, so you can't use them. Whilst that means that you won't be bothered by people queuing for them, you do have to go through two sections of plane to reach your nearest loos, further back in the plane. But the leg-room is great. Just cross your fingers that any babies or infants in the block of seats to your left, where cradles are placed, are quiet.

This was middle a Club Class seat in a row of just 3. Being in a row of 3 the seat is a little boxed in but this gives some extra privacy. The gap for the seat is slightly wider than the seat itself and this allows for a narrow shelf to the right of the seat which is great for storing the blanket and pillow when not in use. As with most BA Club seats you do need to clamber over someone's feet to get out but in this seat you have a choice of two directions to go. Being in the front upper cabin means you have the two front toilets available which are much larger than normal. The stairs are also easily available to offer some exercise in flight if wanted. Overall would recommend this seat in Club.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/09/26 for Seat 41H

41H, despite being an aisle seat, has severely restricted foot width and under seat space due to AVOD box positioning. I couldn't get both feet in at once and I would recommend avoiding this seat. If the passenger in 41J centre seat is co-operative you could place your right leg in their space as the width of 41J is very large. Very poor interior design for a new aircraft on this route.

These seats are not worth the extra cost, worst flights ever taken with BA. There were constant queues for the toilets at the side of us, passengers continuously leaning on my seat whilst queuing and pulling on back rest when moving along the aisle, plus the noise every time the toilet was flushed and hand wash used. At the back of WT+ be prepared to miss out on pre take off drinks, no food choice as ran out of food, no alternative offered.Reclining seats come so far back, why do passengers do this as son as they sit down, there is no need during daytime hours, sleeping yes. Cabin staff do not even as the offenders to put the seat up at meal service, so had a back rest in my face for 9 hour flightTotal rip off, I will never fly with BA again!

Flew from LAX-LHR. Typical economy seat. Good views from the window. Loved the bins on the side. Was able to stow the blankets and pillows and other things where the passengers in the middle rows had nowhere to stow these items. Food was good. Entertainment was good, lots to choose from. The flight attendants were very pleasant and helpful. I would fly this airline again.

Great seat, you don't need to climb over anyone to access the aisle. The upper deck was a little quieter in my opinion and the bathroom towards the front is enormous. The layout of BA's business class seats seems unnecessarily awkward however as there are only a handful of seats where you don't have to climb over someone or potentially have someone climb over you to access the aisle. Food and IFE were great. Service was only ok.

its a noisy seat due to proximity of Galley and often bumped into by flight staff and passengers.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/08/29

I have travelled a fair amount on these planes in the last 2 years. The most striking feature is quietness and that the IFE is much better than 747-400.However the rules of seat selection are not the same as the old 747-400! First of all the upper deck window in J is no longer my default as it was on the 747-400. The reason is that the bins (although good) are not as big. The second is that the curvature of the aircraft given the 2-3-2 layout means that there is a slightly claustrophobic feeling that is not encountered on main deck window seats. Best picks overall are 53K and 53A as they offer direct aisle access but another good (if risky) pick on flights that are not full is the middle E seat which is wider, and 53E offers direct aisle access. But not as good if the flight is full as you are trapped needing to maintain two privacy screens and not all FA approach the seat from the aisle using, instead, the intrusive button feature. On the main deck 15A and 15K are good picks because they are recessed and relatively private, there is direct aisle access, and also because 15B and 15J are often unoccupied. 15B and J themselves are highly undesirable for two reasons. First they are directly next to toilets. Second reason is that incomplete enforcement of cabin separation means a procession of Y class passengers come to use these toilets and loiter around waiting sightseeing at the back of J cabin which can be distracting. One other thing: the main cabin windows and the upper deck rear cabin (56 through 59) do not really offer a view of anything other than a vast wing! In the F cabin the suites are noticeably bigger than 747-400. 1A and 1K are very private but (as someone commented) useless for people travelling together. Neither are the centre seats particularly good for couples as they are angled widely away from each other so in practice one might as well choose 2 windows and use the companion dining feature.

67K on the A380 has constant noise from the lavatory; you can hear the toilet flushing, the hand soap/items in there whirring. It is a not a good seat, particularly for a night flight when wanting sleep (even with loud music on you can hear it).

Why an earth would you install such a poor IFE system that it requires the worlds biggest equipment boxes installed under every other WT seat. Whats most disappointing is that these are brand new cabins coming off the factory line like this. EY & EK A380s have much better IFE and no foot boxes.

I was switched - by BA - from 11D to 56F. I had no choice but to accept the change or not fly.It was adjacent to the toilet and by the kitchen. When someone passed me going to/from the toilet, the curtain brushed my legs. The Flight attendants talked loudly in the Kitchen. I was trying to sleep during my 9 hour flight from LHR-YVR.I checked 56F seat on SeatGuru.com after the fact and it is one of the seats the site suggests not to be booked.

As someone used to the upper deck of 747 I found is seat narrower and a little uncomfortable. The big negative was the noise from the galley. My sleep was disrupted several times from the loud banging of plates and cups and closing of cabinet doors by BA flight attendents. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but more consideration needs to be given to passengers. My wife's sleep was also disrupted and I'm certain there was several other guests in row 53 that were also affected. A positive for 53a is you don't have to climb over someone to go to the toilet.

I took the advice I saw here and paid the fee to reserve this seat for my flight from LHR-LAX. Simple put, this is the best seat in Std Economy class. The lack of a seat in front of you means you can actually spread out and there was enough room for my wife to extend her legs as well. The entertainment center in the armrest is a small inconvenience for the space you get, especially on an 11 hr flight.

I had 53E on a London to Dulles flight. I liked the fact that the seat has extra legroom and access to either aisle without crossing the footrest of another seat. Flying backwards is still strange to me, and with the dividers up the seat feels a little "cave-like." Overall, a very quiet and private seat. As an added bonus, it seems that I was being served from both sides (extra food, snacks, and drinks) by the wonderful flight crew.

I used AA points to fly Club World from IAD-LHR. I was very pleased with the seat, especially as our flight was delayed in DC for 3 hours due to bad weather. I enjoyed the coziness of my seat by the window, with plenty of storage. Fortunately, no one was in seat 58J which would have impeded my exit from my seat if they had been fully reclined. As my husband was in 57J, I enjoyed having the face to face seating, though I imagine it could've been awkward had I not known that passenger. The amenities kit and quilt were good and the food was excellent. Our cabin steward was very cordial and helpful. The toilets on the upper deck of this aircraft in Club World are huge! I was surprised at the almost non-existent noise level of this huge aircraft and I could hardly tell when we landed. Excellent seat, excellent aircraft and I would definitely choose this again.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/07/04 for Seat 56K

Travelled LHR-SIN in 56K. Worried that it might be noisy next to the lav on the upper deck. In fact, it was very quiet. The toilets on the A380 are very quiet and as the seat did not directly back onto the cabin wall there was no issue at all with noise. The curtain made sure that there was no galley noise. It was nice to have the small stowage under the window. You get two to put your laptop and other personal items meaning that you didn't have to stow everything in the overhead locker. With the divider up, it felt very much like it's own little cubicle and very private. Only issue is the stepping over the legs of the person in the aisle seat when getting out.

Do not recommend these seats at all. We paid in advance for upper cabin seats and were extremely uncomfortable as there are large boxes underneath the seats in front.

We flew London to San Francisco on the 380 and were seated in 67a and 67b in World Traveller plus. Beforehand I read a lot of negative comments so was a bit apprehensive --- VOD box's etc. each seat has a VOD box by the side of it but it's only 2" wide and attached to the seat leg under the seat in front so there is MORE than enough room for your feet so much so that you don't notice the box at all. I looked at all the seats in Plus (the flight was quiet) and they are all the same in terms of legroom and space, the window seats have good storage bins between the seat and window, the seats are a great improvement on the 747 and 777, more comfortable and more recline. The entertainment system is on a different planet altogether from the 747/777 it's excellent, dozens of the latest films and programs on a screen that's twice the size of the old 747/777 . people are correct when they say the overhead bins by the window seats are small and won't take a cabin bag but the ones in the centre do and there's usually plenty of space.Food -- very good, well presented and served. Proximity of the seats to the toilets !! didn't even notice.

Paid extra for this seat on the way back from Heathrow to YVR. Great legroom; disregard the "red" seat marking on the seatmap as there's nothing wrong with the seat aside from the lack of a window and storage bins if that's something you value. The door does not interfere with legroom at all, and I have extremely long legs.However, it got insanely cold by the exit during the flight, even with many layers on as well as the blanket. For that reason alone, I'll skip the extra $$ for the exit row and take 71A instead, with the window and storage bins. Overhead bin space is severely lacking for the entire upstairs WT cabin, but that is to be expected. Bassinets are located in the middle of row 70 so noise-sensitive travellers beware, I had to deal with not one but a pair of extremely raucous babies.

The ratio of seats overhead bin space in rows 80 through 83 is ridiculous. The flight attendants do not reserve any overhead bin space for those seated in the exit/bulkhead (row 80), so even small purses of some passengers had to be stored ahead in the next cabin, which is not acceptable. People were always standing close to this seat to wait for bathroom. I would not recommend this seat!

Travelled from Heathrow to Johannesburg on 380 and not impressed with upper deck window seat.Firstly underneath the seat in front are not one but two metal containers (entertainment system?)located by the seat legs. These severely restrict legroom and leave only a small space to place your feet.Secondly there is a large gap between the seat and the window making it awkward to lean against the window. The gap also contains a storage cabinet with an open-able lid. At first this seemed a great idea, but the cabinets are off-set from the seat so that cabinet behind you encroaches into your space. Every time the person behind you opens their cabinet you get knocked by the lid - not great when you are trying to sleep.

Flight BA 0269 LHR-LAX Seat 75E going out 77K coming back75E on the way out felt fairly cramped, and I’m only 5’ 7”. My partner, in the aisle seat 75D, is only 5’ so she had no issues with knee room.The return flight was a revalation. We were, luckily, allocated 77J&K on the upper deck. As previously noted, by others, the overhead storage bins on the outer seats are smaller than usual, so only two cases per bin…but there are additional storage bins along sides seats A & K, and these are pretty capacious.Also due to the arrangement of the bins, if you are a bit cheeky you could nab two as 77J&K span 2 bins and two windows.I know others have said that the media box is an issue but I found that i could stretch my legs out full along the gap between the seat in front and the outer storage bins. This may not be possible on the lower deck equivalent seat.You also getting the feeling of more space as you can use the storage bins as an extra arm/leg/head rest, or table space.This seat id just two rows in front of the toilet at the rear of the section but this was not a major issue, as the four toilets , accessible from this section spread the footfall pretty well.I would definitely pay to pre-book this 77J&K.In-flight entertainment system was pretty good, only minor annoyance was having to view measurements either in imperial or metric, not a mixture of both that we use in the UK.The IFE screen tilts. This is particularly useful if the seat in front is reclined.There is a headphone socket on the inside of the arm rest. This accepts standard 3.5mm plug so you can take your favourite headset with you. BA do supply a set but I suspect that they are pretty average.I worked out how to remove the remote control/gamepad thingy, but could I get it back into its socket!?The trick is to feed the cable back through the hole on the right-hand side of the holster. Once all of the cable is in, the handset should snap back into the holster.The USB is a 'traditional' slow charger, so if you have one of those new fangled Quick-charge devices you'll just have to re-learn the art of patience( wonder if the sockets in Club World are faster).Discovered the location of the UK 3-pin power socket. It's in between each seat. This means someone has to share as there will be one fewer that the number of seats in the row. However, I have had it confirmed that the UK 3-pin socket will only maintain a laptop's charge not increase it, so if you've got a flat battery that it's plain hard luck. I'll test this out later. Best advice is to fully charge and don't use sleep mode, or carry a spare battery or three.

I agree, these are BAD seats!!! Besides hearing the toilet flush every time someone used it. So many families were traveling with small children the stair case area was like a play ground. I understand that young children need to move around. That is why I upgraded my seats, which I didn't get.... Then had to fill out forms for a refund for the upgraded seats. At least the seats reclined in the last row not that you could sleep with the toilet flushing and the noise the children were making.... Other than that its a beautiful aircraft.

Although supposed to be one of the best seats on the plane due to the privacy and easy access to the aisle, the proximity to the galley makes it very loud especially when 6 or more cabin crew decide to have a get together in the middle of the night and keep everyone awake and there is an extremely loud compressor in the galley that actually drowns out the engine noise.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2016/02/07 for Seat 53A

This was an excellent seat as one didn't have to climb over anyone to get out. No significant galley noise and a relatively small cabin with large toilets forward.

You pay a premium for business class seats for comfort,sleeping and privacy. The business class cabin failed on counts. We booked 2 window seats,57a and 58b. When the seat divider is down for take off/ landing, you are facing a complete stranger sitting in an aisle seat. When meals are being served, cabin crew have to pass it over your aisle neighbouring passenger. Worst of all if you want to leave your seat, you are required to climb over an aisle seat if they have reclined to sleep!!!BA fares are generally more expensive than other airlines and in my view not worth it. I don't know who designed the seat layout but clearly they are trying to squueze in as many passengers as possible.Will not be flying BA business class again-they do not come anywhere near their middle eastern competitors for service,comfort and value for money

Whilst the armrest is immobile and the seat width is slightly reduced, the design of the door provides a cutaway section from floor to knee height. This provides significantly increased leg room over and above the standard Exit row. The lack of window is also a boon when travelling on a night flight although it could be a bit claustrophobic on a daytime escapade. Thus I would give this seat a yellow, not a red warning as it is definitely good for one leg of the journey.

Theses seats have the most leg room and space in world traveller plus i travelled from london to Hong Kong in seat 60D. I put my carry on against the bulkhead and placed my pillow that i always take with me when i fly on top of my carry on bag and put my feet up and slept for 5 hours

1A and 1K 1st class are next to the two small/standard size w/c's downstairs, whilst the two large w/c's are upstairs for bus. class passengers. It's almost as though BA changed there mind mid build and reversed the position of the two classes. On middle eastern airlines they would never have 1st class seated below business class passengers. otherwise OK. The flight is only as good as the crew on that flight.

This seat has two storage bins under vthe perfectly located window,if you need them,I did not like the very flexible seat backs which when reclined gave the seat in front of you up to 2 inches of extra manoeuvring space when pushing back,the seat is well worth the extra over economy but I think I will give Virgin a go next time

Seats 1A and 1K (I have flown in both) on the BA A380s are particularly private as there is no 1E or 1F. You can hardly be seen at all by any other passengers.

This seat has a warning in SeatGuru that highlights the proximity of the toilet/galley light. I did not find this at all to be an issue. The curtain is pulled across throughout 'sleep hours' and the fact there are few people in the cabin means there is little traffic. More important to me is (1) easy access to the aisle, and (ii) a seat which has a bulkhead at the foot so people aren't climbing over you from the middle seats. Only perhaps are the 53A and K seats an improvement in my view. Service is excellent as ever.

There is limited legroom at this seat because the box for the entertainment system for the seat in front encroaches, as does the rail that separates the foot space from the aisle to the right. I would call this a less-than-standard seat for the class.

Flew out of Heathrow to Hong Kong on 380 and now realise that BA have decided to compete with Ryanair by reducing the space the sell you even on 12 hour flights. The seat is cramped in standard form but when the seat in front reclines space is non existent, legroom is minimal and the centre arm only folds up 70% of the way...

I have flown this aircraft numerous times round trip from LAX to LHR in business or first class. Unfortuntately, I feel that British Airways has fallen down on the job when it comes to business class. Of all the international airlines, I have found that their business class tends to be the least comfortable. The window seats are ok but they tend to feel locked in because you have to step over (wake-up) others to get to the aisle unless you are in 53A. Because of the seating configuration, there tends to be a sense of confusion when boarding. The service is still terrific like the old British Airways but the seating needs to be improved... I feel that British Aiways needs to stop cramming people into these business cabins...

Flew round trip from Los Angeles to London in this seat on the upper deck. I was very underwhelmed. I had a mildly bad back and it was so hard to get in and out of the seat without causing pain. There was added pain when stepping over the other person's legs. The floor was bubbling up which made it unstable. Window storage was excellent and the cushioning on the seat was okay. Overhead storage was completely inadequate for an almost full flight. My biggest complaint is the noise and vibrations from other seats around you. My daughter was sitting next to me - every time she moved or closed her screen my whole side shuddered. My family has decided that we prefer the seats on AA and will not pay to fly on BA until they move to newer generation seats.

Why oh why did BA choose this configuration? I sat in Seat 58a (though this applies to most of the business class seats) every time I wanted to get out of my seat during the night, I had to climb over someone else's legs, presumably disturbing that person.

Despite the bad review below,I thought that this was a good seat. However, I was on a flight that was only 60% full, so there was plenty of luggage space in the overhead lockers. In fact I used my bag as a foot rest as the thin seat cushion made the seat difficult to sleep in. But I can recommend this seat and the only negative is from the envious looks you receive from other passengers during boarding.

The armrests do not go up completely, and it requires a contortionist to get out! When the seat in front of you is reclined, you have only 6 inches between the video screen and your face. "World Traveller" is truly a euphemism for cattle class.

Just terrible. BA has the worst business class seat I have ever experienced- even worse than United. As many other users have said - the design is just stupid. There is very little privacy, the window/divider just makes it so that the crew has to hand food and drinks over the wall. The seats are so narrow that if you have broad shoulders you won't be able to sleep. Additionally there is no thought to technology in the seat design- there is a USB plug but no place to put your phone. The video screens fold out for viewing and therefore you have to fold them back during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing. I will likely never fly BA again because of this poor seat design.

Long haul flight Singapore to London, overnight with 2 year old. THE ARMRESTS DO NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP. They move 45 degrees, so my toddler cannot sleep across my lap and next seat, or on his own seat. The "helpful" flight attendant suggested I lay my child under the lifted armrest so his head/torso.legs are at risk of being squashed should the armrest come down. In another Economy seat some poor chap who was slightly on the larger side couldn't even maneuver into the seat because he couldn't move the armrest. Seriously who are the designers thinking of when they decide allowing armrests to move half way only is a good idea. Uncomfortable, disappointing and damn cheeky on the part of BA to make such a suggestion when it comes to toddlers.

This middle seat is fine if you want to be close to the traveller next to you. There's barely a partition between the two seats. The seat was comfortable enough, but not 180. The foot section is separate from the seat and a bit awkward. You must step over the aisle seat if the person has the seat extended. We've traveled a lot in business class and this isn't one of the better pod arrangements nor did we find the buttons completely intuitive. We do love the flight, however, and would vote for window seats next time if flying alone.

BA's business class on the A380 is awlful, due to: inverted design to cram more seats in; window seats are claustraphobic; you have to jump over the aisle seat when they are in a "bed" position; the seat motor is under your behind and it gets very warm; and the design creates very awkward service with the flight attendants reaching over the aisle passenger. I would have rather been in premium economy!

Got the coveted 25D for LAX to LHR. Had read comments about stretching out with a bag for a footrest. WRONG! First, I was not allowed to put my bag under the seat in front of me (23D) and nothing could be on the hatch. Apparently something about an emergency lounge access for flight crew, cemented with a "Non-negotiable!" comment from the otherwise very relaxed attendant. So, no storage, no tray or screen in the seat back. But then, no reclining seat in front, and yes, plenty of room to stretch. All in all, not worth the expenditure I think. Trying 82J&K for the trip home so at least I can sit alone with my sweetheart. Oh, and the armrests don't raise past about 45 degrees...so no snuggling or sharing the two-seats we had. Maybe it's better upstairs....

I wish I had read the comments about the Business class of BA before I booked a flight on this airline. I flew out from LA to London. First of all the flight was and hour late taking off and I missed my connection in London to Munich which resulted in great expense to me in bookings I had made in cars and hotels to Salzburg. BA booked me on a flight from London to Salzburg the next morning, my luggage didn't arrive and caught up with me two days later in Munich. As far as the seats in business class they are a joke. Very narrow, a small drawer to put things in, no shelve space, in order to extend the seat you have to lower another small seat in front of you that matches up to you seat when you extend it out. Plus seats face front and back. Thus if you have a window seat you have climb out of your extended seat the best you can then you have to step or jump over the extended seat of the person who is sitting behind you. What a mess. I would never fly BA again if at all possible.

I booked this seat on the back of another users comment that 36A was a great seat and very comfortable. What they neglected to mention was that there is a display box on the left side of the foot well. The result was that I could not straighten my left leg for the entire flight. As it was a window seat, I would have had to disturb my sleeping fellow passengers in order to get into the aisle to stretch my legs. The flight was fully booked, so a seat transfer was out of the question. Very disappointed with this seat, I suffer arthritis and was crippled by the end of the flight.

I actually believe the Business class seats 15K/15A, as well as 53A/53K, and 59A/59K are the best B/C seats. With these seats you are able to have a window seats (which is a nice little private area) without having to crawl over a sleeping passenger which is difficult . Upstairs is preferable to downstairs in any window seat because there is a side ledge so you have a nice spot to set personal items. In general I HATE the BA Business Class seating as I find it terrible as compared to cathay or American. It is awkward. The Aisle seating is very very narrow in B/C and you are always being nudged by FA's and passengers when they walk by.

While it is true that the wall curves away from the seat so you can't lean your head on it, the extra room afforded by the curvature is just awesome and luxurious.

Travelling with 2 small kids (one using basinet). I would deter families from booing these basinet seats at all costs purely because there is no overhead bins. Because it is at an emergnency exit, for some reason the configuration is such that Row 80 has no bins above it and others are full of flight attendant kit. MOst of our bags had to be stowed down at the front of the plane which, when you have changing bags, food and milk for infants is very inconvenient.

If at all possible I will avoid taking this flight again. I found the A380 design cramped and maximized for profit not for customers. The business class seat is 1.5 inches wider than a standard seat. That's 3/4" on each side. It's a plastic mummy sleeping bag with absolutely no room. Maybe I'm just spoiled by flying to Asia but Euro travelers are getting low class respect. I'd take it again cause it beats swimming but there are better options from competitors.

I chose this seat (and I imagine this applies to the other window seats in rows 80-83) so I could lean against the window and sleep during the flight, but to my surprise, there was a ledge between the armrest and the "wall", so that it't too far for one to lean on.In addition, there are storage compartments inside the ledge, which is really very handy, However, they don't line up exactly with the seats, so that the one behind me was reaching into my space, and mine creeped up into the space of the person in front of me, who decided to try to sleep by resting their head on the ledge, thereby blocking my storage door...Overall, would not really recommend, unless you don't care at all about sleeping on flights.

Its disapointing that BA have kept their awkward business class configuration on this new aircraft. The seat and the flight were okay, but compared to what Emirates, Singapore etc have done with A380 Business Class, it was a disapointment. This was an aisle seat, which afforded no privacy. Window and middle seats are better, but mean you have to climb over other passengers and do feel a bit like being in a box. Overall better than BA's aging 747 fleet, but miles behind other carriers on the long haul Asian routes.

This is the second and hopefully the last time I fly the BA A380. This seat has no windows so you have no idea if you are on the runway or about to land. It is also noisy given that the crew keep their stupid hats in the lockers beside 50B and the locks etc are heavy and frequently used.There is also no overhead storage for a trolly bag (crew told me that I should have sat downstairs if I had a trolly). I have been an Executive Club Glod Member for over 14 years so I am loyal to BA but over the past few years their product has become tired, cramped (who does middle seats anymore apart from BA) and the crew (who are paid a pitance) are less than movitivated and it comes across loud and clear.

This first class seat is quite confortable. The seat reclines into a full bead. You can share your suite with your companion and have the FA set up a nice table to share a meal. The suite is quite roomy but sometimes I would have liked to have been able to look out the window and see the world go by. However, because of the way how your seat is at an angle you are a bit situated away from the window. The lavatory is a bit cramped and one is inclined to use the lavatory on the upper deck where you have more room to move about. The food was a bit disappointing, specially the tasting menu. Nothing really outstanding except for the Scottish langoustine. The high tea service was passable except the bread was a bit tough. All in all, I think my experience with BA First Class service is exceptional specially the way how FA Caroline took care of my every need. Plus my experience in the Concorde Lounge at Heathrow was quite enjoyable.

The airplane is quieter then other airplanes I'm used (usually flying BA first or Club Europe)I was exited to fly their new plane to LA.The seat it self was very good. Also, better lay out and more practical room and places to put "things" away than previous 1rst class (not such a good lay out as their first one). HOWEVER, there is no use of taking window seat (as I usually do). The windows are to far from you and TO HIGH. You can only see the sky (up, sky, space??). You can't look down (taxi, ground, scenery etc ...) The only way to look down is by sitting on the "jump seat" or "foot bench" in front of your mean seat, some times used by co-passenger/spouse during meals. This was a big disanointment, and the reason in the future I will avoid using that plane....

I just think that BA's Business Class is just awkward. It isn't so much the rear-facing seats, it's just the configuration of having to stare at the person opposite from when the partition is in the lower position. You are basically looking right at your neighbor with no privacy. This partition has to be lowered during take off, landing. It is also lowered during inflight service. If you are at a window seat, you sometimes get forgotten because the flight attendant can't really see you or an empty glass! And certainly the center two seats on the lower level in Business Class gives zero privacy the entire time. Nice new airplane, but really awkward seats on their A380. Next time I'll chose an asile seat on the upper level.

Overall good first impression till you seat in a cramped, narrow seat. Things does from bad to worse when front passenger decides to bring his head rest up fully, reclines his seat to maximum and he poor guy is 200 kilos and 2 meters. Then you realize that the seat goes down even more due to his weight and you can't read, eat sleep or watch tv. Further enhancing the experience the lack of storage in the 4 central seats.Too much cramping thanks to a greedy BA executive making the trip as exciting as traveling with Ryanair.

For a couple, the best seats in F class on the A380 are in the middle. You can chat and you can eat together with one sitting on the foot rest, which you cannot do in Club. Be wary of seats 2D and 2E though. They are under the stairs up to the upper desk and can feel claustrophobic, made worse since you cannot see out of the windows on either side.I would give these a "yellow" tag.

We flew out to hong kong last week. Seat was above average for PE but BA still have not learned that the reclining seat in front is a complete no no to some of us. Once reclined in your own space it is almost impossible to get out of your seat without grabbing the head rest of the seat in front thus causing both parties some annoyance. Air NZ have designed this flaw out with their space seats but it seems BA have gone down the recliner route thus annoying both passengers

Avoid this seat if you can. I thought it would be nice having direct aisle access and no one jumping over me from the window seat, but I was wrong. The cabin narrows at the front and both lavatories are forward. There is a lot of traffic at this seat and once the attendants close the curtains, everyone going to and from the lavatory cannot seem to figure out how to get through the curtains and bump into this seat.

I flew BA between LAX and LHR and had a good flight. The cabin crew, however, really could not be bothered with anything other than the minimum amount of involvement with any of the passengers. The food was nice but really salty. The seat was comfortable but not comfortable enough to sleep in. I sat in 75K on the upper deck. The cabin I was in was relatively small with lavatories at both ends. Please know that seat 75k has 2 AVOD boxes in the foot area, reducing the amount of foot space available. The overhead storage bins are small and do not accommodate regular-size roller bags easily. The centre section overhead bins do accommodate bags like these easily, however, but you have to hope for a relatively empty flight to be able to spill into these bins. There is an extra storage bin between the seat and the outer wall of the plane which is big enough to hold a briefcase, or ladies handbag plus all the pillows and blankets provided by BA for your comfort.The mood lighting was really nice and changed from white to blue to pink during the journey to compliment the time zone you were in.Nice plane – very quiet and smooth.

Upgraded to the seat from permium economy, so not sure if i can legitamtely complain, but the noise of the crew, loo flushing and coming and going of other passengers was really disruptive to a good sleep. The seat has no storage either, which was particularly frustrating when you want to keep an ipad close, or have a book and paper handy. No-one came to collect rubbish at any point during the flight(empty water bottles, tissues etc.) so i ended up having to throw these on the floor until I could use the bin in the bridge. They had run out of eye masks, not helpful when in such a seat as when other travellers go to the loo through the curtains the light hits the seat directly. Incredibly warm flight as well. Sorry BA - this seats sucks!

I usually fly Business Class or First, so I was apprehensive about Premium Economy (World Traveler Plus) on the A380. I'm here to say it's not half bad. Though Business Class it's not, the seat is reasonably wide and has decent recline with a footrest. Food is acceptable, and the cabin staff were great. It's really hard to fault this product. Add to that...I dressed nicely, and got a free Business Class upgrade on LAX to LHR. On the return, an upgrade was available for $1,000...not bad, given what Business Class usually costs. Nice work, BA!

I flew BA's A-380 from Washington/Dulles to London on 25th November (World Traveller Plus class) and it was one of the smoothest, quietest flights I've ever experienced - combine that with WTP's excellent leg-room and seat width and a top-notch cabin crew and the flight was a success all round. Even the boarding was more orderly than usual (simultaneous boarding of both levels using more or less parallel jetways from the Dulles terminal).

Round trip LAX to LHR family of four. These Premium Economy Seats were really good. My daughter and I are both 6' and this really is a lot better than economy. The premium cabin feels a lot less claustrophobic than the economy cabin. Plenty of storage provided. The IFE was excellent, the food was actually quite nice and it made the 11+ hour flight a lot more comfortable. The A380 is very, very quiet. Considering our seats were close to the engines it was still surprisingly quiet, a lot less noise than other aircraft I have been on. BA is still a great airline even if they do misplace my baggage from time to time.

The ice-cold draft in these seats was unbearable until the attendant kindly turned the air down. He informed us that these seats were notably colder than any other on the plane and that in the future we should avoid this row, both for the draft and the noise from the galley. I must say that when watching in-flight entertainment I heard zero noise from the galley. Even while I was sleeping (without headphones or earplugs) the noise was so minimal, the curtain well drawn, that if not for the draft I would happily choose these seats again.

I am a million mile flyer with significant long-haul flight experience. I flew BA268 and BA269 between LAX and LHR and had a good experience on both flights. The cabin crews were friendly and efficient and went out of their way to help me. The food was edible. The seat was comfortable. I sat in 77K outbound and 76K on the return flight. I selected these seats for no charge because I'm an elite class flyer. I chose the upper deck because of its 2-4-2 configuration instead of 3-4-3 on the lower deck. The cabin I was in was relatively small cabin with lavatories at both ends. The only time there was a wait for the lav was right after meal service. The small cabin also kept things quiet, and this is the quiestest, smoothest aircraft I've ever flown on. Please know that seats 76K and 77K have the AVOD boxes in the foot area, prohibiting use of the space to store my backpack. And know that the outer overhead storage bins are small and do not accommodate regular-size roller bags easily. The center section overhead bins do accommodate bags like these easily, however. One bonus for 76K and 77K is the extra storage bin between the seat and the outer wall of the plane. It's not big enough to fit a backpack, but it could hold a briefcase, laptop bag, a lap top computer and/or any other loose items you have. The AVOD selection was immense and something I really enjoyed on the flight. On the outbound flight there was even a "chat" feature available that allowed you to chat with other passengers on the plane. For some reason this was not available on the return flight. Overall, I was impressed with British Airways equipment, personnel, amenities and service on my flights.

Ignore the hype about how wonderful this aircraft is.Generally, the newer the aircraft the worse the tourist class leg room if you are 6 foot. The 380 is no exception. No amount of gadgets and cabin crew attention (yes they were good) makes up for a very uncomfortable flight. Short haul conecting flight in a 737 was bliss by comparison.

The worst seat on any airliner, ever. No window, no seat storage, no overhead storage, freezing cold, a good inch narrower than regular seats elsewhere on the plane and the cabin wall looms in on the seat so you feel like you're trapped in a cave.

Avoid 37K. The seat in front has a large metal box underneath it, coming right the way to the back of the seat and covering half the width, such that putting your right leg underneath the seat in front is impossible. It's also not possible to put it between the outside edge of the seat in front and the side of the plane, there's not enough space. The only option is to twist your entire body and stretch it out diagonally to the left, resting your shin uncomfortably on the corner of the metal box.

Far from the horror story I was expecting from some comments posted. The new BA seats are very comfortable for economy class, and this seat is lacking the VOD boxes. This little section at the back of the top deck is almost like a mini cabin of itself and is quite quiet and free from traffic. The pitch is less than generous, and the overhead lockers are very short on space, but it's certainly far from the squeeze that some people have suggested.

I booked Premium Economy but was delighted to be bumped up to Club World. I was allocated seat 58F and quite honestly I was very disappointed. The seat is very narrow at shoulder level and has no storage space at all except for a small drawer at foot level that is just out of reach unless you stand up. My colleague had a middle seat which was much better - plenty of shoulder room and storage space. But he had to step over the aisle passenger's feet when that seat was turned into a bed. Really poor for a brand new plane. And with so much space ion the plane I thought BA might go for a bar in Club, but no - you really could be in any other plane. A real missed opportunity.

Flew on the A380 to Hong Kong in March 2014 and found 61K to be an excellent seat in the WT+ section. The additional storage space adjacent to the window is an excellent feature. Also, as I am 6ft tall, the bulkhead in front is sufficiently far away to allow room for stretching the legs whilst supporting them on top of a small backpack. The food and service was also excellent. If using the toilets, I suggest going up to the front of the Business Class section at the top of the stairs as the toilet there is huge! compared to the normal toilets. Returned to the UK in seat 66K which, while OK, was not as good as 61K.

There are good and bad points about this seat. The good - you are most likely to be the first off the plane, so if you are like me and want to be off as quick as possible then this one is great. Also as it's at the front of the section, you don't have to worry about anyone stepping over you from the middle seat.The bad - I found the seat to be quite "dark" as the windows both sides are obscured by other seats, and after takeoff the flight crew pull the curtains that are right in front of you, so it's OK if you may want to sleep, but not so good if you want to work. You also have to put up with a constant stream of people who don't know how to use a curtain, which can be quite hilarious at times.

I flew LAX-LHR in this seat, new Club World from BA. The seat transforms into a full-flat bed which was comfortable. Seat 15a has the (big) advantage that you have free access to the seat, unlike the other windowseats where you have to step over your fellow passenger when going to the toilet. Also the forward-backward facing seats are a little awkward. You are confronted face to face with your neighbor. There is a screen that goes up but it can cause an uncomfortable feeling. IFE is great, big screen and big selection available. This seat is next to the toilet but you will not notice anything.

Flying from LA to London Heathrow. Worst flight I have ever experienced - seat is at the front of economy so facing the bulkhead. At least being in the centre you're not kept awake by people using the lavatories and shining lights on to you as they open the doors. Seat width extremely narrow, it is impossible to get at anything in your pockets. Impossible to sleep because of the restricted dimensions of the seat. With regard to meals - why, on USA to London flights, is the choice always between curry (which I do not normally eat) and pasta which is always disgusting and like eating rubber and lies on the stomach for hours afterwards. So no real choice there. The positive factors are that the plane is very quiet and the lavatories pristine (which one would expect on a new aircraft).

World travelller plus from London to Hong Kong, june 2014. The seat is for sure better than an economy seat, but don't get fooled it's still sitting and sleeping. Leg space was good as I could stretch my legs out front even though I am 190 cm tall.The window seat on this plane is better than the isle seat since you have a pretty large extra stowage by the window, very nice. Also acts as an extra table on the side.Service was good, but food was horrible. Among the 10 worst flight meals I have ever had. The passed a menu in the "plus" cabin, but it turned out they did not have anything from the menu on board. They only had what seemed like the cheapest economy food. Got as much wine as I wanted though, and stewardesses were nice.The A380 is much more quiets than the old 747s, so I can recommend it.

We always fly with British Airways and have been very satisfied with their planes and service, but not this flight on the new Airbus 380 from London to LAX. We sat in rows 81J and 81K. When we came on board their was already no room for our hand baggage in the overhead compartments. The compartments were too small to accommodate a standard size hand carry bag. Under the seat in front of our row was a box, so you didn't have any leg room or room for any other type of hand carry. It is a much more comfortable flight on the 777 economy or 747 economy than the Airbus 380 in economy. We have never been so stiff and sore after this 11 hour flight before. We plan to avoid flying this type of Airbus in the future.

We travelled out to Johanesberg Business and back 1st.The food in the lounge at Heathrow is a disgrace, sandwiches and cakes only until 6pm which meant we had to eat on the plane instaed of sleeping.Business is ok. I had a hostess who failed to crack a smile once during the flight whereas my wife had a star who was really pleasant and helpfull, why can't BA sort out these miserable ones, we pay a lot of money and a smile costs nothing? I can't remember the food it was that forgetable. The seats are fine but squeezing in 8 to a row really is a bit greedy. If travelling as a couple I would definitely go for two middle seats. AS far as 1st Class is concerned we were very pleasantly surprised, we had just come back from KL Malay 1st Class (where there are 8 seats in 1st) and were worried that the cabin would be tight, actually it is but they just get away with it. We had two middle seats but next time we would go for two window seats which are more spacious. We thought the tasting menu was very good and applaud BA for trying this. They do however continue to let themselves with pettiness, only champagne before takeoff because they won't pay the duty on other drinks!! All in all we felt there was a slight improvement from 6 months ago or maybe they've tried harder for the A380.

London to Hong Kong 4a first class seat was noisy with the crew behind the bulk head, the tasting menu was very poor the food was dry and lacked flavour, did not get much sleep, aircraft was amazing very quite.

Great seat for travelling alone. Due to it's location, you have direct aisle access to both aisles with no climbing over anybody. I also think that the middle seats of this cabin have bigger arm rests than the rest of the seats too.

The quietness of the aircraft is very noticeable. The upper deck is not as nice as 747 upper deck on BA. I miss that intimacy but the planes were at the end of their useful life. I changed my seat from 50A and am pleased I did as it has no window and people are walking close to 50B to use the facilities [so avoid all of row 50]. The facilities are spacious - even a place to sit and change your clothes.I thought the service was good, even though this was the first time for some of the crew on a 380. Perhaps people who agree with me tend not to submit comments, which seem dominated by the crabby and discontented. After a decade of using this route with BA the norm is polite helpful professional service. The food can be variable - the wine is always good. It is a matter of taste overall - I think Cathay is terrific in every way but I think BA seats are more comfortable. For Asia travel - Cathy /BA works for me.

While not as great as 25D behind it, this seat is a worthy consolation prize due to there being no seat next to it, it allows you to place your hand baggage underneath the other seat, leaving your seat free. Additionally, since it is an aisle seat that is one seat space removed from the aisle, you are further away from bothersome foot traffic and can angle your legs into the space next to you to allow more room for stretching out. I'd definitely recommend it if you miss out on 25D or a bulkhead seat.

I was lucky to be get 25D - apparently this is released for purchase by all a couple of weeks prior to departure, if not booked by Silver or Gold Card holders... so keep an eye on this seat, and be quick! 183cm tall, I was happy to get this seat, which offers fantastic leg space. I was even able to place my handbag on the floor to put my feet up on and rest my legs a bit. Very nice, and worth the extra £. That being said, I agree with other comments here that World Traveller seats are extremely narrow. Service, however, from flight attendants very good on this flight.

This seat is very close to the curtain dividing Club from Premium economy, so flight attendants have to continually pull it back to push trolleys through and tend to bump your seat. Also the aircon blower is immediatley above this seat making it very cold compared with the rest of the plane.

i usually only fly BA because of their biz class, but this new 380 plane has changed my mind. upper deck has low ceilings, reduced aisle so that they could squeeze in 7 seats in every row. there are 3 bathrooms for the entire biz cabin which is approximately 40+ people and there was never a moment where there wasn't a line, service was slow and painful because the staff doesn't have space to move in the gallery everything is so tight. My seat - which i affectionately referred to as "the tomb" i would not recommend for anyone who has any claustrophobia. i so did not enjoy this trip that i will specifically be looking to avoid the 380 from now on.

This is a window seat and benefits from a thin locker against the window for storing small bags/laptops/shoes etc.The leg room seemed quite good (I'm 5"10 and there was space between my knees and the back of the seat in front, which is rare), but the seat itself is quite uncomfortable and my right leg kept on going numb, and with the new side lockers it isnt possible to lean against the side of the plane to sleep. Therefore, not the most comfortable plane for a long flight, and one of the rare occassions when I struggled to sleep. The noise in the cabin from the engines is minimal: one of the quietest flights I have ever taken. However, the down side of this is that you can hear ever sniff, cough, sneeze or snore: bring ear plugs!

I flew with A 380 from London to LA in economy class. Very disappointed as all the nice impressions from the plane were ruined by extremely uncomfortable seats. I am 170 cm tall and once the seat in front is reclined my legs don't fit at all. My husband is slightly taller and he could not fit even with the seat in front of him not reclined. After 11 h flight we still have sore legs and previously when traveling on B 747 we never had these problems. Also the armrest don't go up fully, so you cannot hide them between the seats and since i was traveling with young kid it was a big minus as he could not sleep on me . Very upset with this trip and would not use BA A380 in future

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2014/01/04 for Seat 56A

Be forewarned that seat 56A is located in the middle business class cabin on the left side of the plane, and there is no lavatory in this cabin other than the one on the right side of the plane. Have to either pass through the crowded galley to get to the other side or go up to the front of the plane.

On the upper deck (and possibly lower) of the BA A380 in Economy, the arm rests do not go fully up between seats. They raise about 3/4 of the way and some people have reported they don't stay up. This can be annoying when traveling as a family, or when traveling and hoping to lay across multiple seats.In addition, on the upper deck, it is very difficult to get from the B/D aisle to the G/J aisle. The only crossing point is the galley in the back, usually crowded with attendants and foot carts.

Flying as a couple the two seats (my wife was in 10F) were a very social way of travelling. If on my own or with colleagues I would rather be on the upper deck or not in the middle as it is not that private! Also, you do find yourself staring at the person in the seat oppostie if the screen is not up and service to the middle is a pain for someone in D or G. Sleeping would feel a little intimate unless you know the person next to you...General space was good managing to stash lots of clutter. Still feel that Club World on the A380 misses a trick versus other airlines especially if you are on real business, not leisure.

The dividing curtain constantly hits the end of your footrest or lands on top of it. Assuming of course the flight crew have even shut the curtain. Seat was ok but the constant traffic through the curtain is annoying

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2013/12/12 for Seat 14A

Club World seats very cramped and claustrophobic and the layout of seats opposing each other means you can end up staring at a fellow traveler unless your raise the plastic and gimmicky privacy shade. Access to the seats at the window is awkward and, there are raised areas of the floor which can catch you out. The availability of inflight movies was dreadful, unless you are a James Bond 007 fan. As for quietness, there was no perception for me that this aircraft was any quieter than existing wide bodied aircraft. Not impressed at all and for my next LHR-HKG flight I am already looking at the competition.

small sub cabin quite cosy, however BA seem to always go front / back with meal service so you are literally last to be served. seat comfortable, avod v.good and usb port works well

Good seat in first class as it was away from the galley and the dividing curtain to the loo. If you are travelling with a partner and both want a window seat then get seats on the same side of the plane as all window seats are separated by the middle seats so its not easy to see each other unlike the second row in the 747's

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2013/10/25 for Seat 50J

To the left and in front to the right are storage areas for cabin crew, they are in and out the whole flight banging the door. In front of this seat is a curtain which has Velcro in the middle, so the large cabin of business passengers and the cabin behind (as they don't seem to stop this) are constantly picking up the curtain to get through to use the loo. This is the only time on a flight in business class that I have had to queue for more than 20 minutes to use the bathroom. There is no window to look out of as the 'window' seat next to this seat has no window.

This seat is the last row in business class and because of the design of the cabin it overlaps with the middle seats of the first row of premium economy.In addition with cabin service from front to back this is the last row to be served food and therfore your original choice may be unavailable.

All you can see is the wing and hear is the loo, I moved to 11K and there you were unable to see the safety demo, will not be flying on the lower deck in future. Terrible.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2013/09/13 for Seat 15A

Great seat - extremely quiet, comfortable, private with 3 windows and access to the aisle without climbing over anyone. Didn't even realise I was near the lavatory - no noise or disturbance. However despite 3 windows, all that can be seen is wing.
