- Luxury seating, designed after passenger feedback, will launch on London to Madrid route in July, then long-haul in October
British Airways is showing off a brand new business class seat.
The “Club Suite” seats will make their debut on the Airbus A350 in July.
The seats will feature their own doors, the ability to convert into beds, increased storage space, and 18.5-inch screens.
“The arrival of our first A350 featuring our new Club Suite is one of the most exciting developments in our US$8.6 billion investment programme,” Alex Cruz, CEO of British Airways, said.
“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.”
