Departing England and traveling to Spain, I took British Airways flight 2708. This was done aboard an Airbus 319.

Seating is cramped to say the least. Although designated “business class” the seats are actually coach seats with the center seat not sold and armrests that move a few inches to the side. In terms of leg room, well, look at the photo:

Here’s a profile look at the seating arrangement:

The flight proceeded quite smoothly, with this meal served:

Cabin staff was generally friendly and helpful, but it is a difficult situation considering the cramped nature of the seating, spartan meal, and parade from coach to the lavatory. And here’s the view on approach to Barcelona, Spain.

Thankfully, this was a relatively short flight, and Spain is a wonderful country to visit.
