BA's Old Club Seats - 11% Of Them Are Quite Good!

I spotted a press release back in May promoting the resumption of services to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. I've wanted to visit Saudi for decades so thought this was a great opportunity to visit and to show what happens on an inaugural flight.... OK, technically it was a re-inaugural as BA served Jeddah before the you-know-what, but I was still hoping for balloons and cake...

But between me booking and the day of travel, BA moved the inaugural date and so the flight I booked was actually the third service... Quite annoying, to say the least. The inaugural flight had also been scheduled to be a 787-9 with the new club suites, but our equipment had also been downgraded to an unrefurbished 787-8 with the old club dormitory....

But that gave me the opportunity to give a thorough review to this seat which is being phased out of the Heathrow fleet, but will "stick around" on the Gatwick fleet for many more years.... Plus arriving in Saudi promised to be an interesting experience....
