This week, I fly one of British Airways’ most unusual European services, BA460 from London Heathrow to Madrid, but with a twist.

Instead of the usual short-haul Airbus, British Airways has scheduled a long-haul Boeing 777-200 on the route, complete with the airline’s flagship Club Suite business class seat. That means a fully enclosed suite, direct aisle access, and a true long-haul premium experience… on a flight of just over two hours.

But does the Club Suite really make a difference on a short European hop? And can British Airways deliver a premium experience worthy of the hype?

📍 Route: London Heathrow (LHR) to Madrid Barajas (MAD)
✈️ Aircraft: Boeing 777-200 (G-YMML)
💺 Cabin: Club Europe (Business)
⌛ Flight Time: 1 hour, 54 minutes
💵 Cost: 16,500 Avios plus £35.00 (Taxes/Fees)

Watch here -
 
Taking this flight in October. It's good to see that they're doing it as its a good way to experience their long haul business class product without spending 1000s on a long haul flight.

Heads Up!

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours

I don't believe I am quite covering enough roles at work. Its now 4 on a bad day, 5 on a good day and there is scope for a 6th and 7th role. Still on minimum pay but had the biggest payrise in the company,
