	British Airways Club World seats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The first thing to say is that British Airways has pioneered new standards of comfort for long haul business class, and it must surely be a question of "when" and not "if" many competitor airlines will follow this trend.
		Seating comfort is one of the prime issues about the onboard experience on a long haul flight - and being able to lie down properly and sleep is the main ingredient of that.
		In summary, British Airways has got a winner here in terms of cabin comfort, and there is no real comparison between these flat seats and the more traditional airline seat offering between 150 and 160 degree recline.

	British Airways World Traveller Economy seating analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		British Airways is not alone in this market - their Economy class seating offers a poor seat pitch (the space between each row of seats).
		Seating is the prime factor for long haul air travel, and we do not recommend British Airways World Traveller for such a journey where any reasonable alternative exists.
		At the end of the day, the British Airways World Traveller cabin is uncomfortable, and whilst BA has extended considerable attention to First and Business Class this is at the expense of the majority customers who travel "at the back".
