It was good back in the 90s. I'd rather fly Virgin now. Hell, even American is arguably better on red-eyes.

Really depends on the plane. The old one is terrible but the new one is great. Look for the a350 or research which planes have the new business class cabin

Transcon US-Euro biz class market is more or less a race to the bottom (of a high standard of acceptable service) now that all the carriers have lie flat seating. Not a huge difference among any of the US and European carriers from my experience. Biz class on top tier ME and Asian carriers is way better (really only on service and food and drink as hard product is almost universal now).

I got bedbugs in BA First Class. BA refused to do anything about it, so I tell everyone every chance I get. British Airways, First class, BEDBUGS

The last time I flew was 2 years back between Boston and LHR. I regretted the entire flight . Seating was funny with passengers facing each other , cramped lie flat seats. The only time flying in business class actually tired me out . As others have said , find out if they have newer aircrafts on your route
