British Airways Cabin Overhaul

British Airways reveals massive A380 cabin retrofit alongside major Heathrow lounge upgrade plans.

British Airways has revealed details of its long-awaited Airbus A380 retrofit, which includes a significant overhaul across business-class, premium economy and coach cabins. The A380 will feature 106 business-classes, making it the largest business-led cabin in the world, according to the airline. The new business class, or Club World cabin, will feature an evolution of its Club Suite. The seats will be spread out into four mini-cabins spanning the entire upper deck and offer dedicated dwell areas. Both economy (World Traveler) and premium economy (world Traveler Plus) will also feature new and improved seats. New amenity kits will be available across British Airways' first-class cabins starting Oct. 6 and will include Wildsmith skincare products and a "bespoke Circadian Rhythm collection". The airline also plans to build a new lounge at Heathrow Airport, which is described as one of its "largest and most ambitious" projects.
