Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Executive Club Club World suitability for kids

  • 382 posts

    I know that a lot of discussion has been had regarding the suitability of club suite for younger kids. It’s been a very long number of years since I last flew on the club world product, and certainly before kid friendliness was on my radar. Are there any issues related to a middle block of four club world seats, regarding kids that should make me think of flying further down the plane? We’re looking at an ex-LGW so club world is typical for the journey. Thanks in advance.

    Four seats in the middle block of WT+ really is very good for communication, everyone can easily see everybody else.

    It’s a great choice as the middle two seats are like a cubicle for your kids to sit and play in with a parent on either side.

    The problem with a middle block of four (unless you get the bassinet) is that, assuming you put the two kids in the middle, this leaves both children having to climb out over strangers’ legs. Possibly sleeping strangers.

    Maybe you could lift them?

    This is why I book two blocks of two by the window with the back row having direct aisle access.

    This allows Kermit to come and go as he pleases and stops Freddo from wandering off!

    How old are they? If you have a look on google images (e.g. BA Club World middle 4), you can tell if they are small enough to climb or pass through the “hatch” into the parents’ space!

    thanks everyone. they’ll be 9 & 5, though closing in on 10 & 6. The older one should hopefully be fine. It’s the younger one who’s giving me pause for thought. Really appreciate everyone’s input.

    Go for 2 pairs by the side, either in front of or behind the bulkhead.

    So 10AB, 11AB.

    10A exits over 11B
    10B has direct aisle access
    11A has to navigate 12B. Put whoever has the strongest bladder in here.
    11B has direct aisle access, only traffic is 10A
