Creator's Key Takeaways

The chicken is actually surprisingly tender. Um, don't care for the sauce that much, but overall it was okay.

The seat recines 8 in which is more than the 6 in that we had on American Airlines and that extra recline definitely made it easier to drift off.

British Airways has a slight edge here. The chicken coma from AA was very ordinary, but the chicken served by BA was excellent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose American Airlines for a seamless airport experience and free seat selection.
Choose British Airways for better seat recline and more polished inflight service.
