Air New Zealand vs British Airways in business from LAX to LHR?

Question

Has anyone taken the Los Angeles to London flights on both airlines to compare? I'm planning an upcoming trip and finding the prices to be very similar between both airlines. Air New Zealand's business class looks interesting and the airline seems more "chill," but BA is well...BA and sorta a stalwart in transatlantic business class. Anyone compared them?

Try checking the boards at www.flyertalk.com for reviews from travelers who have been in both.  

Safe travels!

Answer 2

I've taken NZ LAX-AKL, which is the same flight, in biz class. It's  a really fine experience, excellent service and a seat that flips over into a no kidding bed where I can sleep comfortably even though I'm 195cm tall.

BA's seats aren't bad, but if you look on SeatGuru, the NZ biz class seats are bigger, more like the BA first class seats.
