[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a timely post.  I just booked four Business Class (Club World) on British Airways for an April trip to London out of Dulles.  We are returning on economy but flights are non-stop both ways.  Came out to $8500 total (BA was having a promo) and I almost had a stroke when I clicked that 'pay' button but we 1) depart on my birthday and 2) celebrating our 20th anniversary while in London and 3) it's the last big trip before our son goes off to college.  Those are the mental gymnastics that I went through to justify it in my mind.  It is most definitely a splurge and not something we would do again in the near future.  I'd be lying if I said I was super excited, especially as our kids don't know about the fancy seats (at least on the way there).[/quote]

Nice booking.  I think BA is pulling the A380 from this route next year for refurbishment of the ancient business class, so you are probably almost surely going to get the significantly upgraded business class no matter what plane you fly.  The late night 11 PM departure is good for maximizing sleep.

Hope this actual (very nicely discounted) cost of business class to Europe puts the lie to OPs $12k cost.[/quote]

This is business one way and in April.  Peak times will cost significantly more.[/quote]
