Business or First Class Only

You hear a great deal about one class budget airlines & cost effectiveness.
Personally I have always preferred to travel Business or First Class & paid through the nose for it, with mates & pals taking the micky about it being a waste of money

Well if you look at the recent pic which class was best to travel ?

On a serious note does any one know if Premium economy or business class is better with BA or Virgin got to get to L.A .and i'm not much of a flyer rather go by boat. I need leg room and comfort and there prices are almost the same.

BA Business class has the edge over Virgin premium economy. Having said that, I am flying to ZA in Virgin premium economy rather than BA business class, so my advice may be suspect.

I dont rate the way BA treat you vs the way Virgin does.

However, from a non-emotional point of view, BA has the slight upper hand.
