British Airways has historically carried a not-so-great reputation, but the airline may just have turned a corner with its new Airbus A350 Club Suites, first introduced in 2019.
In this video, I’m excited to finally try British Airways A350 Club Suites for myself, to see how it stacks up. Is the airline as bad as everyone says, or are there potentially some redeeming factors?
Booked with: 61,000 Asia Miles + $300 for YYZ–LHR–BCN

The new club suites are light years ahead of the old product. I've always liked British Airways (big Anglophile here), so I'm glad they have a competitive seat again. I'll be flying them in a week and I hope it goes well!
I've flown toronto to london business class via air canada, BA and westjet…and my westjet experience was the best – primarily because of the staff: fantastic people…the BA team just seemed overly rushed/inexperienced and not very attentive at all.
I fly them 1st class end of next month to Heathrow. I'm so hyped in a 777 1/2/1 positions.
Kinda calm down on the pretentiousness.
So how was the cocktail?
How do I know which flights have the new business class products ?
DId you and @Nonstopdan coordinate on this release
One huge negative for me, with hundreds of thousands of American Airlines award miles, is their onerous "fuel surcharges" when redeeming on BA. On an upcoming trip from Europe to the U.S., they wanted only 57.5 K AA miles where AA wanted 125 K, but with nearly $400 in fees. As there are two of us traveling, that's a deal breaker. Luckily, I had plenty of United miles and they wanted only 90 K plus a few bucks.
Ricky, Make a video on the 747

I booked BA business to the Middle East for me and a companion this past December costing 140000 points and over $2300 in surcharge. Decided to cancel it and pay the penalty to get my points and almost all my cash back minus $400, to then book on Qatar Airways and save the exorbitant fuel surcharges. Didn’t know about the Cathay Pacific booking so thanks
The suites look great!
Do westjet dreamliner business class only from Calgary
@ricky so I'm guessing you haven't see @nonstopDan's recent BQ abysmal experience 😉 you both have opposing views at this point.
Lucky you, last time I checked BA Business Class had a 1 in 5 survival rate…
+1 for saving $700 fuel charge for using Asia miles!
Ricky. Is there any way to transfer points from one partner to another? For example. I’m a 1k with United, and have miles through them. Can I transfer these miles to another star alliance partner? Or is only possible to do this with for example am ex points

BA over Virgin anyday! Love the BA product. Looks classy
For me BA and the One World Alliance is a no brainer if you fly regularly for work, especially from Heathrow or connect through there a lot. I travel with a client who flies business and myself in economy and its always easy. For casual travellers I'm sure there are other options, the BA status is underrated too.
BA is a shameful airline. Truly terrible in every way.
Finally Britsh Airways Have 1-2-1 seating In Business Class.Great Work
So Non Stop Dan does a BA video and then everyone else follows suit I see. So he must be the trendsetter
The BA flight from Montreal to London is the old 787-8 and the seats are outdated and lack privacy. Screens are laggy and the power sockets don’t work. The food is decent but that’s about it.
I have found BA to be pretty good. Their Club Europe service is consistent. I have also travelled across the Atlantic on BA in both Business and First Class. Service is better than Air France but the real downside is Heathrow Airport, which is chaotic and there are long queues in security, even if connecting inter-Europe.
Good to see the full meal service back in Club World – the last time I flew this, everything was served on one tray (and the time before that just a cold sandwich!)
My wife and I got a free upgrade from PE to CW on the BA777 featuring the new cabin on the SIN to SYD overnight flight. Have to say we enjoyed the experience.
Prob most importantly is the tray table goes all the way so I could sleep on my side! (ac makes it impossigle for big boys 😢)
The Johnny Ginger is one of my favourite drinks in BA Business.
😍😍😍😍
I just booked a ticket back to london via JNB, the leg back unfortunately with qatar im on a BA 787 Club world, non-suite, wish me luck lmfao
It’s interesting the very 2 different prospectives. I just watched Non-Stop Dan’s terrible experience with BA. I think his was uploaded last week with the same seat you’re in. His was horrible and yours was much better.
Ricky Zhang theres a shipment of 100 cases of Russian vodka coming into Hong Kong Harbour.
xxdd
How was the service of the crew
It's as bad as they say, an absolute disgrace of an airline! A national embarrassment, why do we still let them use the national name?
But how did you rate BA’s service? Inflight and on ground?
looks it's better than AC
You're talking so loud, just do a voiceover
Some people can only dream of flying on business
Wow you total saint. You survived an experience that billions of people will never come close to. Truly brilliant stuff
Another great review. Thanks
Booked my parents to fly BA to Singapore in their Club Suites on their 77W. Let's hope it wasn't a waste of 💷 and points lol
I wonder what the survival rate is for other business class products? That would be great to find out and review if you can.
I think people are really unlucky because I’ve flown British airways many times and I’ve never really had a bad experience
Thanks for the quick review of BA. Concise and to the point, very helpful. We live in Mexico, and looking for a good way to travel between MEX and Europe.
People need to seriously STOP listening to all the BS negative YouTube airline vlogs out there on British Airways. In particular, the ones from silver spoon boy Non Stop Dan. The TRUTH IS……BA is a fantastic airline. While it may not be as opulent as Emirates, Ethiad, or Singapore Airlines…..BA is definitely NO WORSE than Lufthansa or Air France.
