London Heathrow airport


I had arrived into London on British Airways' A319 from Geneva and was connecting onwards to Mumbai.

Security was a breeze and wasn't crowded at all, I headed straight to the British Airways Concorde Room lounge.


The lounge had a lot of seating options as well as a full bar.

 It also offers a dining area called "Concorde Dining" where you can order food from an à la carte menu.

Service was efficient and the food arrived in a moments notice

After my visit to the lounge I headed straight to the gate

BA's First class cabin on the 777-200 are layed out in a 1-2-1 configuration. I was seated in 2K which is a standard window seat, I would recommend seat 1A and 1K because they are bulkhead seats and offer a wider legroom.

The seat is large and offers a lot of legroom although I would say it lacks privacy. There were headphones and a pair of slippers placed at my seat.

Conclusion

For a first class product it isn't the newest or even close to products that other airlines offer, British Airways now have upgraded their Club (Business Class) seats after several years and it offers a feature that even their 777 first class doesn't (a closing door which gives passengers more privacy). I believe that there is room for improvement especially in the seat design, the service overall was great and so were the crew.
