In-flight service: Entertainment
In business class, the entertainment screen springs out of the left-hand side wall of your seat cubicle, and can either be operated using the touch-screen or a remote control.
The touchscreen is extremely responsive, and doesn't require a heavy hand to operate, whereas the remote control seemed to work as and when it wanted to.
The entertainment on offer through the console was vast, and included a mix of new and classic film and TV series from the UK and US - including HBO's Silicon Valley, the Hunger Games 2, and ITV's Broadchurch and some documentaries.
Our only complaint about the set up is, if you recline your seat, the screen gets a fair amount of glare on it, and there's no way to tilt it forward or backwards to reduce this.
Conclusion: A apart from few minor niggles, I'd say the British Airways business class experience lives up to the high standards the company claims to deliver.
The staff are attentive, without being overbearing, and it's clear to see a lot of effort has gone into ensuring its business passengers leave the aircraft well-rested, entertained and ready for whatever their onward journey holds.
