I spent $5,700 to fly in British Airways’ business-class suites. I’ve never had so much privacy on a plane before.

I liked that the seats in business class all had direct aisle access

When I got on the plane, I was greeted with a glass of Champagne, an amenity kit, and a brief rundown of how to use the features of my seat.
My seat was inside a suite with walls on all sides, meaning I couldn’t see any of my fellow passengers once I closed the door next to me. The space had a large screen and lots of nooks where I could store my personal items. I had plenty of legroom, too.
Each suite had direct aisle access, which was a major perk. I hate having to climb over or disturb people to access the aisle if I need to use the bathroom.
Once my suite’s door was closed and the movies began rolling, I didn’t even feel like I was in the sky. No one could see me, and I couldn’t see them — luxury!
The amenity kit had everything I needed for a long flight.
My in-flight meal was served on a tablecloth.

About an hour into the flight, meal service began. I was able to choose a main course, which was also served with a starter, dessert, and cheese pairing.
I enjoyed my mixed-cheese starter, soup, chicken pot pie, and chocolate mousse. The chicken pot pie especially stood out — it was perfectly prepared.
My food was beautifully served atop a tablecloth with real plates and silverware. Throughout the flight, I was also able to enjoy drinks from a menu of craft cocktails.
Later, I almost felt like I was in a real bed.
I would give my British Airways business-class experience five stars.

Was it worth $5,700 to fly in Club World? Since this was a long-haul flight, absolutely.
Though I’ve flown business class on numerous airlines before, I was really impressed by the level of privacy I felt in the British Airways Club Suite.
I’d never felt so secluded in the air and loved not having other passengers looking over at me or crew members disturbing me while I slept.
Relaxing in a private suite with a door and lay-flat seat while being served free-flowing cocktails and a multicourse meal was pure luxury.
