In what way is "Club Europe" business class? Doesn't BA know that putting an immovable object/tray over the "B" and "E" (middle) seats and in all other ways -- seat width, pitch -- sitting in Coach does not a Business Class make.
Since the Club Europe Lounge at T5 is an abomination (overcrowded, noisy, with really poor food options), my wife and I opted to use my Priority Pass and access the Aspire Lounge -- much better option all around: smaller and less crowded, more power outlets, better wines & spirits.
Upon boarding (fortunately at an "A" gate, as opposed to a "C"), the flight proceeded smoothly, the flight crew was perfectly fine. The food was weak, but so what else is new? Upon arriving at Linate, not only was there no gate -- meaning we had to use the stairs-and-buses approach -- but there were no buses, either! Not sure if that's a BA problem or an LIN problem, but sitting on the plane for 20 minutes waiting for a ride to the terminal isn't my idea of "la dolce vita." Indeed, when the pilot was told there was a problem, he was overheard to say, "What did we do now?"
