British Airways Business Class
British Airways Club Suite business class offers lie-flat seats with privacy doors on A350 aircraft, with extensive long-haul service from London Heathrow.
British Airways is Europe’s largest premium airline by long-haul destinations. The Club Suite, introduced on A350-1000 deliveries, modernized BA’s business class after years of criticism over its aging Club World product.
Seat and cabin
Club Suite on the A350-1000 features a 1-2-1 layout with a closing privacy door, lie-flat bed to 79 inches, 21-inch width, and an 18.5-inch screen. Each suite has AC power, USB ports, and personal storage. Older 777 and 787 aircraft still fly the legacy Club World seat — a lie-flat bed with no door and limited privacy in a 2-4-2 or 2-3-2 configuration.
Dining and service
BA offers a starter, main course, cheese, and dessert service with wines chosen by a master of wine. White Company bedding is provided on overnight flights. Quality is consistent but trails the catering standards of Gulf and Asian premium carriers.
Lounge access
At Heathrow Terminal 5, BA operates the Galleries Club lounge with hot and cold buffet, a wine wall, and shower rooms. The Concorde Terrace is accessible for top-tier loyalty members. Oneworld partner lounges are available globally.
FAQ
Is British Airways business class worth it?
On A350 Club Suite routes, yes — the door and 1-2-1 layout are competitive. On older 777/787 Club World configurations, the product is below average for the price. Check the aircraft type before booking.
Does British Airways business class have lie-flat seats?
Yes. All BA long-haul business class seats are fully lie-flat. The key differentiator is whether the route uses the newer Club Suite (with door) or older Club World (without door).
What is British Airways Club Suite like?
Club Suite is a forward-facing pod with a privacy door, 79-inch lie-flat bed, 18.5-inch screen, and White Company bedding. It is available on A350-1000 aircraft and is being retrofitted to select 777s.
