Business Class on British Airways

Business Class on British Airways is, confusingly, not called Business Class on pretty much all their flights. If you are flying British Airways within the United Kingdom, it is called Business UK - but otherwise you will need to decode the names the airline has given its Business Class cabin.

Within Europe, British Airways calls Business Class “Club Europe.” On long-haul international flights, it is called “Club World.” Whether including the word “club” in the titles makes BA’s Business Class passengers feel like they are part of an exclusive group is up for debate, but if the name does not do it then the perks of Club World and Club Europe certainly will.

Club Europe and Club World both give passengers access to the business lounge at the airports which feature such lounges for relaxing before your flight. Club Europe passengers can enjoy a full English breakfast on morning flights, and afternoon tea for afternoon flights. Of course, eating a full English Breakfast on a long flight may not be the wisest move, but we leave that up to you.

British Airways revamped its Club World service in late 2006, making the seats bigger and including more services in the package. To help you sleep comfortably, the new seats now recline to a fully flat position. In fact, Business Class passengers on many flights can now enjoy what feels a bit like a private cabin, with small divider walls providing privacy from your neighbors. In Club World you also receive a goodie bag with some toiletries to help you freshen up, and you have access to the “Club Kitchen” from which you can get food made to order at meal time or any time.

Entertainment options in Club Europe and Club World are great, with personal video screens that allow you to choose exactly how you will while away the in-flight hours. Because Club World was relaunched not long ago, some aircraft are still being retro-fitted to include the upgrades - so be sure to ask before you book your ticket whether your plane will have all the perks you are looking forward to.
