    First

    I've flown BA quite a bit these last couple of years and my business class flights are usually LAX-LHR-BLR and then back BLR-LHR-LAS. When I'm lucky and get a Suites-equipped plane instead of the older hard product/seat, I'm happy…BUT the catering is always mediocre, at best. The food on BA flights needs a major upgrade and improvement. Not every starter needs to be some sort of salmon and cream cheese dish. The mains (IF you even get your primary choice) are usually better flying out of India. The proper British breakfast (which you seemed OK with) is too damned salty. So, all-in-all, BA business class trips are ok on suites equipped flights, but if you get the old seat and the lousy catering – the experience is miserable and not worth it.

    Good data point if I ever fly BA in the future! Personally never experienced a "bad" Business class experience until just this past year flying United Polaris back from Asia on their 777-200… Maybe it was a one-off but had much higher expectations haha

    It sounds like the catering out of SAN could use some improvement. I do wonder if booking international flights through LAX or SFO (or even a major hub east) maybe worth it over a direct flight from SAN on points, if club access and food would be better.

    Not a fan on having a 3 course meal for a single meal service. A lot of calories for just seating on a long flight. I would rather them just concentrate on a really good single course meal with a simple desert afterwards.

    Thanks for the review. The food looked pretty underwhelming.

    Actually, you can choose seats free if flying BA business class so not sure why you had to pay. But I would avoid flying BA after your honest review. Better airlines out there.

    BA charging for business class seat assignments is absolute BS!

    Thanks, a good and informative review. I will definitely look for an alternate carrier than fly the BA old 777.

    2nd!!!

    Great video Max!!!

    Thanks for upgrading the Aspire Lounge in SAN, it's barely mediocre if you ask me but the customer service is GREAT!!! lol

    I always use the PGA Golf Grill as it's part of the Priority Pass restaurant.

    Good to know there are 2 flights from SAN. I'll try to fly this soon.

    Thanks again Max!!!

    The best advice I can give anyone about the BA. DO NOT FLY WITH THEM.

    I was just reading about Washington DC flight to London that have emergency forced to land in Boston, MA. What are British airways passengers options? Need to rebook flights to London and find hotels until next available flight?

    Got it. Looks like BA catering out of San Diego is subpar.

    Yeah, no, I'll fly other airlines, thank you.

    Hey Max, I have a question in regards to redeeming Chase points for travel. I have the Chase preferred card and have gotten my bonus points that Chase offers. I want to book a flight from PDX to Cape Town for June next summer. What is the best way to explore options of flights this early? I want to book a nice seat for the long flight but have troubles finding options this far out. Thank you!

    Thought United Polaris meals were pretty bad but this seems worse. Good to know. Thanks!

    Poor review. First, the starter was slaw not pasta – read the menu?? Second, the spoon was supplied for your dessert. If you chose to use it for the salad, that’s fine but you can’t expect a new one without asking. Third, BA give free seat selection to all oneworld ruby, sapphire and emerald FFs. I don’t think BA are the best airline but if you’re going to make a critical review, do your research??

    Catering company they use in SAN must not be good.

    Recently flew BA economy from LAS to LHR and I was pleasantly surprised because the meals were quite "nice."

    Catering on BA flights out of the USA is always terrible. Flights leaving London are far better!

    If you were not happy with your meal, you should ask to change it. Nothing worse than jumped up YouTubers

    The fact that BA charge seat selections for all business class fare, unless you have mid tier OW status. Other airline would have lite fare that charge for seat selection, it is common these days that airline is trying to cash cow from passengers and maximise the profit as much as they can.

    You used your desert spoon with the cous cous!

    • by: @paulready8897

    The meals are not the airlines fault. It is the catering company the airlines use in the US, which definitely is not very good. I would not fly with BA. There are a lot of other airlines that are much better.

    I can explain why BA food is so bad compared to other superior airlines (After being a manager at BA) So the airlines tell the catering company how much they budget per passenger for food and drink (dependent on class).. Airlines such as Emirates and Etihad give a budget of approx £200 per passenger in First/Business class for the food/drink per customer…. BA however set a budget of only £18 per customer in Club world..
