In case you missed it, British Airways released information on their brand new business class product this week.  The product looks wonderful.  Much has been written about British Airways business class by my fellow bloggers and how much they don’t like the current version.  I’ve traveled in it many times and actually don’t have an issue with it.  That being said, the new product looks lovely.  You can see a more in-depth write-up on it on God Save the Points.   Now, bear with me for a minute, since I’m […]
