Their A321's are ex BMI aircraft and have business class very similar to Swiss.
Quote from: SeatGuru
This aircraft is one of three different A321 models that British Airways operates; this version is the International model that flies on routes to Cairo and Tel-Aviv.

ba 0167 a 321 lhr-tlv: doesnt link in seat guru, is it real business class as in the intl one or is it domestic?
I understand your question, but Israel is an international destination, but I cant guarantee, maybe check on BA to select a seat your be able to see the layout or call BA

I've never, ever had an FA in F (or any other cabin) turn down my request for another drink.

You must have been, or appeared to be, visibly inebriated.
appeared
was a 10 am fri morning flight (my rav said it was ok)
i did two things that can make them assume i was gone.

1. needed the bathroom very often due to drinking and was a) very embarrassed to keep going b) scared the other passenger with me was going to need the bathroom and i couldn't lock it for two hours on flight while it was shabbos. so to avoid being seen going to bathroom very often i climbed over the middle section of first to get to bathroom so as to avoid kitchen area, they must have seen me!
2. shabbos crept up on me and i forgot to turn on my lights so for the time that it was shabbos i couldnt sleep without a drink and was very bored. i wanted to use the lights of the tv to read/learn. so i laid down backwards on my seat with head by tv on foot rest (or whatever the real name for it is, ottoman maybe?), tuchus in the air and feet on my seat. i know they saw me doing this!
hope you all have a good laugh at my expense.
other wise was an amazing flight

I'm not sure how you ended up on the plane on shabbas? A bit confusing, though the tuchus in the air part paints a funny visual  ;D

did both. actually preferred the ana for small reason but maybe important to you: oz wouldnt let me have more than 2 or 3 drinks of whiskey. in fairness to them they may have thought i was drunk
didnt hurt that my ana flight only had one other passenger in f so felt private without the doors
That's a make it or break it for me...

So OZ has doors and ANA doesn't? I'm talking about the 777 (for OZ and ANA).

ANA = No doors in F.

OZ = Doors in F.

That's a typo. Fixed. Meant to say:

OZ = Doors in F.

ANA = No doors in F.
