Flying in 4 Classes On The Same British Airways Flight...AGAIN | Including First Class & Club Suite!
We recreated our first ever all-class comparison and put British Airways' 777-200 to the test! We flew from London to Washington DC in first class, business class (club suite), premium economy and economy.
Ben flew in the front in First, Liam sat in the Club Suite, Nicky tried out premium economy and Maren drew the short straw in economy.

Why does the guy in business always have that gormless look on his face in the thumbnails?🤣

Business class looks like a new cabin along with premium economy and economy, where as first class looks like an old cabin
Business class looks better than first class with the sliding door

Truth be told, I believe the clubworld is miles better than the First, having experienced both severally for years. 😄. Clubworld my choice above any other business class product, even first class since year 2000

I find it super weird that BA close off you you comments on many initial threads. A decent company should be proud to open up to comments, put a couple of staff on it even. ... or just put staff on telephones to let folk know where to start luggage tracking.
I have yet to find a video of Maren enjoying either business or first-class. It would be nice to see how she enjoys the pampering and space of the larger and more comfortable surroundings. Have I just missed it? Love your channel.

Yeah, put the tallest person in economy, and the most perfectionistic in first class.
To be honest Business class seemed way more enticing than First class, privacy , to food , to presentation all seemed better

Great to see this report back again after 3 years . Always love the content you guys put out especially a review like this. The Concorde lounge looks amazing hopefully one day i will get to try it out. Ba crew are always incredibly friendly and the service is great can’t go wrong
I'm due to fly BA London Heathrow to Miami next week on the 777, am definitely going to look into upgrading to business class, looks as good, if not better than first. Thanks for the fun video! 🤗
Great content thats always fun to watch. Would love to see you guys do some airlines down here in the southern hemisphere like Qantas and Air New Zealand.
Really informative and interesting videos! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing this review. Heading across the pond this summer. Cheers!
Really good in depth objective review one of the few legacy airlines offering four class product service. Love the "call bell" challenge!
I just tried BA's new club world seats just three days ago. They were really comfy, especially when our flight was delayed for four hours then postponed for a day due to engine issues and the crew timing out.
Concorde room is lovely, the addition of sleep pods is a major bonus. The rest of the lounges do the job but aren't worth extending your layover for IMHO. Still, if you get the chance, go for it!
Great review yet again, love the 4in1 format. Keep at it !
Love the style of your vlogs. Always fun in their presentation. Keep it going all
I have always had good experiences with BA Club and First. Thanks for another great video!
Agreed, I always check if my flight is from B or C gates. The lounge is sooo much better! and much quieter.
just found your channel and as the av enthusiast I'm gonna say thank you for serving the vlog with fun style and serving many pov in once!!!so happpyyy!
Great vid guys, love these type of comparisons.
Nick “Oh lovely cuppa that” got me laughing. British boy
So excited to see this video and the positive reviews, since I will be travelling BA Business Class from YVY to LHR and then Premium Econ back to YVR in November. First overseas flight since the pandemic hit and I can't wait!
I think Maren would be happy sitting on a 5 gallon bucket in the lavatory - she is always a great addition to these comparisons. Interesting to see the minimal difference between First and Business - not sure that First is worth the additional costs. Great job as always!
Having flown in the new club suite, I am so surprised that the first suite has not been updated in such a long time. I know that BA are doing away with 1st on a lot of aircraft now, with the inevitability that this will probably only remain on a few routes. They need to differentiate and keep a top class 1st suite, but it is honestly not worth the upgraded price to business with the new suite. Great job guys as ever. Xx
Finally! I’ve been waiting for more videos. Thanks Points Guys UK.
Watched the original one SO many times. This is epic‼️
Always loves these videos guys! Keep up the good work.
I was in the B Gates lounge at Heathrow on the 19th of September as per your recommendation! It was much quieter, did not disappoint!
Impressed and surprised by BA. Definitely a consideration for my next trip to Europe. Thanks!
Absolutely loved this video!!! Pls do more just like this
Thanks for the great reviews! I would love ask that three of you review and share an economy row together! There is always an open seat next to you when anyone is in economy and that is not realistic for those of us that fly all the time.
Thank you for sharing, it was great 😊
Love the format - 4 experiences on same flight!
Liam, your reversed Herring Bone seat is used as First Class with many long haul airlines. The direct is aisle access from the window seat is perfect 🛴✈
I always use The Concorde Lounge when I fly from Heathrow! It's very relaxing :)
Glad you did this video
Nice video mate. Loved it. Bring us more👌👌
It’s funny because I found your channel YESTERDAY and I subbed after binging like 8 of your guys videos in this format 🤣
Great to see this report back again after 3 years! Love your videos as always.
Another Smashing great video!! 🇬🇧💯🎊🇬🇧 thanks for comparing
always loved your videos, I’m going to do a timed race and experience next time I go to London, Millport, Isle of Cumbrae to my hotel in London and back by train vs the plane
That was stellar; what a great way to help me decide on my next class on a BA flight! Thank you!
Great video, you guys should do a WestJet review on the dreamliner from Gatwick to Canada! 🥰
I've watched a number of different channels that review various airlines business classes/classes in general and this seems to be one of the few channels praising them, yes BA isn't the on the level of Qatar or Emirates presentation wise and to be honest other reviewers look down on BA almost snob like but I recently flew BA to Tampa from Gatwick and had no issues in economy, almost the exact same experience as shown in this video. I did note that this flight had the old style IFE screen in economy/premium economy, whereas my flight to Tampa has the new tablets installed making it look much more sleek.
I could watch the same comparison video a thousand times! Great work 👏🏽
Thanks for this vlog. Everyone have an amazing day! Happy Friday! Ciao.
I wish you did a meet up in DC! I live here and am a huge fan of your channel. And I just took this flight in August (premium economy) from LHR to IAD.
So good. Great work
The lounge at B gates def best to go to!
Excellent video! I took BA in 2013 to go to Los Angeles and I really appreciated the flight
I love your critiques of the different fancy/expensive lounges at your age 😂 Just enjoy that you get to be there at all! I’m 50 and psyched about flying Premium Economy! Most of us could only ever hope to be able to enjoy Business or First class seating and lounges.
Great video! I'd love to see you do more like this, particularly across the Atlantic! Maybe something like American Airlines in all four classes next?
I love this video concept.
This is so exciting!
Thanks for the information awesome
The original is what made me fall in love with this channel!
I love all of your videos. Would love for you to do a comparison of American Airlines versus British Airways First Class.
Would love for you guys to try the Qantas LHR - PER in business, premium economy and economy on the Dreamliner. See how you guys would go for 18 hours especially whoever is in economy.

Hi pointed guys I love this amazing video and I love to see a Cathay Pacific economy class, premium economy, business class. Hope you will be able to do one as I'm big fan of you guys. Thanks Karandeep
HaHa ... just left the message on the original 4 class comparison, glad you updated!!
As always great seeing a comparison review between different cabins, especially a four cabin flight. Most of you look so Happy at the start of the video, but Ben is just stood there. Does he think he's to posh to join in, now he's in first class? It's the first time I've seen Maren and she was so bright and bubbly. Hopefully some of her personality with rub off and brighten up Ben.
greattt concept!
9:30 Liam’s legroom in Business looks so comfortable! 😃
I love these videos and The Points Guy UK. But the audio was all over the place on this video lol. The background music was SO loud sometimes.
Awesome video once again, thankyou! One question, do you keep your pajamas, or do they have to be returned at the end of the flight?
finally i loved these
This video was super useful
Great content as usual, only wish my 2021 BA Premium Economy flight from SFO to LHR had been as premium an experience. It might have been the residua Covid airline understaffing, but the rushed and impatient service I had was a huge letdown.
How do you guys decide who gets to fly which class? Amazing videos btw..love them
Very good! Carry on guys!
great video, the most underrated channel
flew BA first on the a380 pre-pandemic. what an amazing experience! this video doesn't show it but the first class seat is at least 25% larger than the business class pod. also, the full tea experience is just next level!
@YouProductions1000

25% larger than the new club suite? Would you say First (old product) was worth it over the new club suite? I am booked on a club suite but can upgrade to first (old product as in this video) for $788. Not sure which to go for. This is on a 777-200

@@YouProductions1000 depends - I'm an NFL lineman sized guy so every bit of extra space I can get I'll take. I don't drink so that really doesn't mean anything for me but some people love the champagne/ wine selection. When I did it it was only 10k more miles to book than a biz ticket so I did. Would I pay $788 just for the pomp of the tea service? Eh, probably not, but it was a cool once in a lifetime experience. Also I flew on the a380 which is larger than the 777 by a good margin so that may have factored into it as well - you could do cartwheels at the front of that cabin!

@@jimsturt Ah interesting, yeah the A380 is quite a bit bigger. I also don't drink, so that would be wasted on me. You do get the nicer airport experience (separate First wing, Concorde room, etc.), and since i'm traveling with a companion, buddy dining in the First seat (ottoman) is nice. This would also be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I could really go either way. Thanks for the reply!
I’m just happy to see Ben in first class. Finally!
Hello. Can you also compare the flight classes in Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS)? You have FinnAir and Icelandic, but SAS could complete the line of Nordic Airlines at high quality. You should definitely try the SAS Lounge in Copenhagen Airport. It is beautiful, and there are even some relaxing and luxurious seats in the innermost part of the Lounge. Furthermore, coffee and tea is free to drink in Economy Class in both short haul and long haul flights.
Terrific video (as always). Can't see much benefit of First class over the newer Business class seats - it looked a bit wider, maybe longer but little else, especially considering the price differential. Even the TV screen in First looked to be a very old design. The Concorde lounge is way better than the Galleries (which do look old and tired compared to other airlines "home" lounges).
I fly long haul first and business a few times a year. I’ve noticed that the business v first product with BA is quite similar. There’s a much bigger difference between the two classes with airlines like Swiss and Lufthansa
Ben!!! My guy getting the first!
Great video - loved this! Do you mind me asking which microphones you're using? They're SO clear!
Flown them all apart from first this year. Premium on a flight back from vegas was a decent seat and I slept the whole way home. Did same flight few month later in club suite can’t say I slept any more.
I like business more than first class…they are very similar but not in price wise! Just spotted the wash bag that business one made of leather, much better than the first. Tbh, compare with other airline, BA need to do more work on the first class! It just equivalent to VA upper class which VA is lot cheaper. Thanks for the video btw! You guys are amazing.
Great vid well done

I visited BA North and South. They were fine but not a patch on Cathay or Quantas. I found them too busy.
I prefer Liam's Business seat, more privacy than first!
I knew I'd watched too many of these videos when someone pressed the call button on a recent flight and my brain instantly went 'it's time for the call bell challenge'!
The BA business lounges at Heathrow and Gatwick are so disappointing! Especially the food. We are now gold members now so we will have to see what the lounge is like at Gatwick November 23rd
Liked Liam’s “little spa treatment in the sky” :))
I love these videos can you do ANA by any chance. Japan is now open soo I think it would be nice to see. Also you can use virgin miles.! Thanks always for making my day.
These videos make me want to book a first class ticket ... as a vacation goal!!
Legend has it, in First Class, Liam got his tea even before he ordered it. Air Hostess: 1, Liam: 0
Gracias
Nice video! I don’t get how you managed to get for the price you mention. If I look at reward flights they are no where near that cheap. Could you explain how you generated those fares? Cheers
Hi guys, we love your vids, keep doing what you are doing as it’s brilliant. We have a question for you, or any of your viewers who have flown on BA to St Lucia recently..We are travelling very soon & are flying in premium economy for the 1st time. Can anyone recommend what seats we should choose in this category!! We definitely want to sit🤞🏻🤞🏻 in a row for 2 & are not sure if it’s worth paying to reserve our seats?? Any advice would be great, thanks guys, love The Buttons😎😎
Great video, loved it. Thanks to the TPG team! Would’ve loved to have seen 2 people in First and having dinner opposite each other, I wonder if that’s any good(?) Also the first entrance at T5 is for gold card holders too not just first passengers!
Noticed how the IFE is the old Thales system. At least it isn't Rockwell Collins with that small square TV
