Which British Airways’ routes have Club Suites and First class?

How to tell if your flight has Club Suites

You can find a fuller answer to this question in our article here. Looking at Google Flights can be a quick way to check the aircraft type before you book, as it should say “Individual suite” for Club Suite. You should still double-check the seat map when you book, as well, since Google can take a day or two to update when they change types.

Otherwise, you can tell by the aircraft type, route or seat map.

• all A380s currently have the old seats,
• all Gatwick aircraft have the old seats
• On the seat plan, there will be 4 seats across instead of 8.

First Class

There are several types of First currently offered by British Airways. The newest is the enhanced First Suite with a privacy door available on all 13 of their Heathrow B777-300s. You can read our review here.

As well as that, each aircraft type has a slightly different seat:

• B787 – these do not feature the buddy seat for dining, and the TV screen is fixed. It is similar in design to the suite but without the door.
• A380 – these have a large wardrobe big enough for a wheelie bag. The A380 seats have a buddy seat and a movable TV screen.
• B777 these also have a buddy seat and a movable TV screen.

You can find reviews and photos of all the different first class seats here. 

New first class suites

There will also be a completely new first class suite, which is due to be installed on the A380 in a cabin of 12. 

• Dimensions: The seat is 36.5 inches wide (the widest in the fleet) and converts into a 79-inch (2-meter) fully rectangular lie-flat bed.
• Privacy: Each suite is enclosed by a 60-inch tall curved wall and includes a sliding privacy door.
• Technology: Features a 32-inch 4K touchscreen display, a 10-inch wireless tablet for seat and light controls, Bluetooth audio, and wireless charging alongside USB-A and USB-C ports.
• Storage: A personal full-height wardrobe designed to fit a standard cabin trolley bag allows the airline to remove overhead bins for a more open cabin feel. There is also a secure drawer and handbag space as well as a mini bar area.
• Buddy Dining: A multi-purpose ottoman and a large stowable table allow two passengers to dine together in one suite.
• Shared Lounge Space: The divider between middle seats can be fully retracted, creating a “shared lounge” for couples that allows them to walk between suites.

Here is the timeline of the new suites being retrofitted to the A380 and B777X.

• Q2 2026: Refit work is expected to begin on the first aircraft.
• Mid-to-Late 2026: The first retrofitted A380 is expected to enter commercial service.
• 2027–2028: Completion of the retrofit across all 12 of BA’s A380s.
• End of 2027 (at the earliest): The new suite will also be featured on the upcoming Boeing 777-9 fleet once deliveries begin.
