Creator's Key Takeaways
The biggest perks over main cabin are definitely the priority check-in, fast track security, and early boarding.
The seat pitch is perfectly fine, although I did wish it reclined a little bit more.
British Airways has a key advantage with a seat recline of 8 in versus Americans 6 in which can make a big difference on a redeye flight.
The chicken served by BA was excellent.
