I flew upstairs in a BA 747 to Tokyo. Was business class. It was a bit better than my return flight downstairs in business class as there were only 20 seats and 2 crew between us so better service.
- chrisseaton 6y agoYeah that’s what I always thought - surely quieter, more private, more staff, so why only business.
- doctor_eval 6y agoI’m lucky enough to have flown in both both business and first (upgrade!) on a 747, although a long time ago. The front was a bit more spacious, and since there is no cockpit in front it feels quite different to upstairs. The upstairs business class cabin on the -400 was also larger (more people flying) if I remember correctly. A lot less people fly first than business. In first you are ahead of the front wheels, so when turning during taxi, it’s quite an odd sensation.
- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoThe nose of the 747 is also very quiet; you are very far forward. It's also private as there's no through traffic - you turn left on boarding through 1L and there's only First there.
