I flew to Canada on a BA Dreamliner last week. I was in Business there and back but still wasn't very impressed for several reasons:

The Business Class seats were still the same old BA config where you have to climb over someones legs to get out of your seat. I much prefer the herringbone config on some other carriers.

There seamed to be a real shortage of toilets for the whole business class cabin that was pretty big. Nearly always a queue and a constant flow of unwashed ( wink ) people from behind the curtain using the business class bogs!

The plane on the way back 'broke down' for 5 hours. The fix required the "plane to be re-booted"(words of the Captain) several times.

Overall I wasn't impressed, 1st world problems I know. I read somewhere the the BA seat in economy was the narrowest in their fleet (or trans Atlantic fleet at least).
