BRITISH Airways is looking to extend its new first-class sleeper service for ultra-long-haul routes to Asia.

BA's 18-seater first-class cabins on London to Hong Kong services have been booked solid since launching its revamped night-flight service on the route on February 1.

If popular, and the early signs are that it is, it will be extended to other long-haul services from London to Asia, such as Bangkok and Singapore.

The emphasis on first-class travel has switched away from the in-flight office to providing the perfect environment for a decent night's sleep.

Passengers are given steeply reclining seats with cotton sheets, pillows and duvets, as well as loose-fitting track suit-style pyjamas.

While extravagant five-course silver service dinners are still available, a choice of lighter, more digestible meals has been added to the menu for late night eating.
