British Airways A350 Club Suite: An HONEST review!

It's here! I flew on the British Airways A350 Club Suite to see what it's really like. It's the most hyped product British Airways have released in years, and is a flight I've been looking forward to for months. But is the British Airways A350 Club Suite all it's hyped up to be? Here's my honest review.

Your claustrophobic = my privacy bliss. Well done BA giving us the choice!

[EERIEISSSS]

You paid for this ticket yourself and will continue to do so (on BA at least) because you say it how it is! The Q Suite w/bar, Singapore seat and Emirates w/bar looks like a class up from this...

Don’t ever sell out, it’s what makes me watch your videos 👏

No wait....

‘An Honest Review’

That’ll do.

I don’t care what anyone says, I think it’s looks really clean and classy

[chriswalford]

Interesting, but it has all the ambience of a flying call centre

[DarkKnight-oett]

The cheek of these airlines charging extra for WiFi when you already pay high ticket prices, especially in Club World

[PhilEsh]

You’re 6ft 4, so probably not an issue that most people are going to face.

Never clicked so fast. Doing a Madrid and back a week today to experience the new suite for myself!

Having now done the trip I have to say that I loved the new seat. I agree it is not the most capacious of Business Class seats but I found it more than adequate for my average size. The suite door would, I feel, come into its own when trying to sleep on a red-eye flight as it provides a barrier between yourself and the cabin crew walking up and down the aisle. This is one of the things that prevents me from sleeping well on flat bed seats. Some might find it claustrophobic, others will enjoy having their own private little cocoon I guess. As for the design, I didn't find it cheap and I actually prefer it to some of the other airlines' offerings as it isn't trying to be ostentatious. Whether it stands up to wear and tear remains to be seen of course. The suite door already has reliability problems - it took a bit of work by a couple of cabin crew members to lock mine open before landing. There may well be better seats out there but BA are back in the game as far as I'm concerned.

You can see why Skytrax have said that they're considering downgrading BA to a 3 star airline. They said:

"British Airways is Certified as a 4-Star Airline for its airport and onboard product and staff service. With some product and service now at 3-Star Rating levels, the BA rating for 2024 is under review."

“British Airways is still installing new Club World seats but many aircraft still have the older, poorer seat. First class service and product fails to match most airlines in this category. For short-haul, British Airways is at a low-cost standard in Economy, and Club Europe standards are very haphazard. Despite claims about trying to return to it’s former premium days, service standards are poor and the product is quite cheap.”

"An honest review", clearly not sam chui are ya

[philipf]

a shiny new aircraft is always nice but I think British airways is going for average marks overall. You won't be blown away but you're also not extremely disappointed either. Business is still far better than economy and any of us is lucky to fly in any upgraded class. I cant believe how quiet those engines are on take off! Great video Noel!

[jasonmymail]

5:05 “Drinks were served soon after takeoff and I chose an ‘orange juice’ ” The most surprising remark in this entire review. Noel... no champagne?!?

[thevirgintraveller]

Finally a review where a Youtuber doesn't brown nose BA. Well done that man!

[RDCT]

Have you booked yourself a seat on the Virgin A350 yet? Would like to see how we compare. Will be operating our new G-VLUX from next month. I’ve sat in the upper suites but not on the actual aircraft. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts!

[MrMakeDo]

Fair review of the seat but always comparing to the Middle Eastern Airlines is unfair with their government subsidies. BA needs to turn a profit.

[Norshuttle]

You really can tell the difference between lets say Mr. Chui and guys like you and Paul. The reviews are WAY more honest and feels natural, not paid or staged. I gotta say, I do enjoy your videos more because of just that! And isnt that 350 lineup aat the end just lovely? :)

[JacobEvans]

Does the tightness and narrowness apply to AA, WestJet, Kuwati, HK Airlines and the rest? It's all off-the-shelf super diamond stuff.

[perulez]

Great to hear a honest review. When you hear the sam chui review it sounds like a golden plane with the best seats on the market. Noel travels the way I would like to travel.

[joehatfield]

Please do VA when their A350 is available, be interesting to see the difference! Love the content, thanks for being honest! Unlike others...
