I Didn't Know This

But I've just read there is a Business and First Class flight available - apart from the prices naturally - what do the flights entail.
I did think they one and the same.
Thanks for answers.

BA calls their Business Class 'Club World' (when applied to long-haul flights):

As you've effectively got two threads going on broadly the same topic, Jennyjoan, I'll try to cover them both here:
As I wrote previously, the only way to get from Sydney to Belfast with just a single change of plane is by changing at Heathrow. The total journey time is around 27 hours (although it takes somewhat longer getting back). It's too early to book flights for October 2021 at the moment but, based upon fares currently being offered for next May, here's a rough guide to what BA would charge for return flights:
Economy Standard Class: £800
Premium Economy Class: £2,100
Business Class: £3,700
First Class: £6,700
You can tell by their prices that BA obviously aren't too keen on allowing riffraff outside of Economy Standard ;-)

I think it depends on the airline, and also the aircraft.
I got a free upgrade to Business Class on my first flight to Montreal, it involved the 'pod' beds and superior food and drink menus, but there was no higher upgrade on that aircraft, it was Business and Standard.
Some airlines have First Class which usually offers wider seats with more leg room and free drinks.
I believe 747's have a First Class Lounge as well.

^^^ Like most other airlines, BA no longer uses 747s, Andy. (There are only 30 left, anywhere in the world, that are currently in passenger service):
