- British Airways CEO admits their 2-4-2 business class layout isn’t competitive but we’ve been hearing that for a long time, and the most we’re promised is a lamp, a 10% bigger storage drawer, a place for reading glasses and a new small storage spot. They’ll figure out direct aisle access but with a dense configuration.. eventually.

Etihad Airbus A380 - North Korea wants to open up international air routes and is willing to open its airspace to South Korea. (HT: One Mile at a Time)
BA Business class on the A380 is terrible. The seat config is one of the worst. Food and service are ok compared to most American based carriers, and better than Virgin Upper Class from my experiences. Virgin Upper Class seats stinks also, even on the new 787s Virgin uses the same ancient crummy seat.
You can also use Priority Pass to eat at MSP PGA in MSP. The credit is only $15.
