This luxury is set to be taken to new heights on British Airways superjumbos, as the airline just unveiled a fresh design for its first class airplane seat, set to launch on BA’s A380 planes in 2026.
CNN Travel was among the first to try out British Airways’ new cabin product during an unveiling at the airline’s London headquarters.
British Airways suggests the wardrobe eliminates the need for overhead storage, which (perhaps controversially) won’t be a component of these new first class cabins.
Each first class seat also features a 32-inch 4K inflight personal entertainment screen and adjustable mood lighting, including a “cinema” mode.
Future of first classWhile British Airways is investing in its premium cabins, some airlines are moving away from first class.
