Is British Airways Club World worth it?
British Airways Club World (business class) is a mixed bag. The seat folds flat into a bed, but it faces alternating directions and has limited aisle access — some seats face backward. For a 7-hour transatlantic flight, it's fine for sleeping but not the most premium experience. The main issue is BA's fuel surcharges — book BA Club World via Alaska Mileage Plan or American AAdvantage to avoid BA's own program surcharges.
