BRITISH Airways is launching the world’s largest business class cabin this year.
This week, new information about British Airways‘ new business class seats was leaked.
The leak included the proposed seat plan, revealing the expected layout of the airline’s new A380 cabin.
The new Airbus A380 configuration will feature 110 Club World seats, making it the largest business class cabin on any aircraft.
BA is set to start refurbishing its A380s in the second quarter of this year and inside the refitted planes, passengers will find Club Suites – the newest business class offering.
The suites will feature a privacy screen door, a special lining that reduces noise, a 53.3cm-wide seat and a 200cm bed.

Passengers will also be able to make use of a 47cm touchscreen as well as side bins and cabinets for their belongings.
Every seat will also have direct aisle access.
The number of premium seats will increase, meaning that the total capacity of the aircraft will be lower.
According to the leaked seat plan, the main deck will feature 12 new first class suites, 84 premium economy seats and 215 economy seats.
The upper deck will be just for Club World business class, with 110 seats in total.
In comparison, this will be a 48-seat reduction compared to the current layout which features 14 first class seats, 97 business class seats, 55 premium economy seats and 303 economy seats.
Club Suites are already available on all A350s, 787-10s, and most 777s from London Heathrow Airport.
In mid-2026, British Airways is also set to introduce its new First seat.
The seats are designed to have a “modern luxury hotel feel” with “home comforts” and “thoughtful British touches”.
The new First seat will be wider and longer and will feature an 81.2cm 4K touchscreen.
The seats will have a ‘buddy dining’ feature as well, which will allow two passengers to dine together in one suite.
There will be a multi-purpose ottoman too, and a floor-level wardrobe.
These seats also form part of the airline’s A380 retrofit plans.
British Airways mainly uses its A380s from London Heathrow to major long-haul destinations such as Los Angeles, Miami, Boston and Johannesburg.
