British Airways unveiled its new business-class seat, due to arrive in July on the airline’s new Airbus A350 aircraft.
The business-class Club Suite gives passengers direct-aisle access, suite doors for privacy and flat-bed seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. The new seats have 40 percent more storage space, mirrors, WiFi, 18.5-inch entertainment screens and USB charging ports.
The new Airbus A350 aircraft features 56 Club Suites, alongside 56 economy-plus seats and 219 economy seats. All travelers enjoy high-speed WiFi, high ceilings, ambient lighting and reduced noise levels. The aircraft first serve short-haul routes between London (LHR) and Madrid (MAD). After October, the aircraft extend to long-haul routes.
“The arrival of our first A350 featuring our new Club Suite is one of the most exciting developments in our £6.5 billion investment program,” commented Alex Cruz, chairman and CEO, British Airways. “Each new suite has direct aisle access and comes with a personal door — design features which were incorporated as a direct result of the feedback we’ve had from our customers. We’ve worked hard to ensure every aspect of the Club World experience from the lounges we’ve refreshed, to the new gourmet menus from Do&Co on flights from Heathrow, and the luxurious bedding we’ve introduced from The White Company exudes the very British style and quality customers expect from us.”
