British Airways Club Suite Routes
Ultimate Guide for BA Club Suite, operated routes with the corresponding flight numbers, registration numbers, when airplanes will be retrofitted and more.
Introduction
Over the last years, BA was not really known to offer an excellent business class product. By introducing their new Club Suite with sliding doors, this has definitely changed now.
British Airways received the first club suite cabin with the A350-1000, in July 2019. The list below shows you all aircraft that are currently equipped with the new Club World Suites. It will grow significantly in the near future, and we will update the list as fast as possible when changes will occur.
There is, of course, still the possibility that dates will change, as not all the planes with the new cabin have arrived yet. This list represents not only the present, but also the future planned routes with the new club suite cabin.
Furthermore, you will also be able to see the last operated routes from a particular aircraft, simply click on the aircraft’s registration number.

We publish business class deals from Europe and from North America on a daily basis, also these with the British Airways Club World Suite, when deals appear.
1. All BA Club World Suite Routes
These flights are always to/from London Heathrow.
By clicking on a flight number, you can see on planefinder.net which aircraft flew that route the last 7 days. You may then compare those registration numbers with our “BA Club Suite by registration number list”, to see how often a route is operated by airplanes equipped by the club suite business class.
Furthermore, some few of those routes are not operated every day by the Club World Suite cabin, flight numbers should only be considered as additional information.
Keep in mind that British Airways can change flight equipment at any given time without further notice. For any reason, like an aircraft that is out of service. As you booked a business class flight, you will of course be in business class, but without the new club world suite cabin.

2. How to check if a British Airways flight offers the new Club World Suite?
All of British Airways’ new Airbus A350-1000 will offer the new Club World Suite.
Since October 2019, the first new Club world Suite cabin has been available in a retrofitted Boeing 777-200 as well. From that moment on, more and more B777-200 are being retrofitted.
In 2020 the new Boeing 787-10 did also receive the club suite cabin.
The way you can tell if an aircraft has the new BA Club World Suite cabin is from the seat map. We use ExpertFlyer to check the seat maps. This is what you need to look out for.
The seat map for the Club Suite looks like this, with a cabin layout that show a 1-2-1 seating arrangement.
Alternatively, you can also check via Google Flights if the business class seat is shown as “Suite”. However, this will not always work correctly.

Hi
Your first list on Club Suite routes includes BA088 from Beijing starting in April this year, but Beijing is not included on the second route list further down in your article. Can you confirm which is correct?

Starting April is correct, I’ve added it to the list now as well.
Gavin
I am looking to fly London – Tokyo next year but can’t easily work out which flights will have the new club suite config. Does anyone have any tips please?
premiumflights
At the moment the A350 and the 777 have club suites on that route, the 787s don’t.

Hi, im wanting to book a flight to Brazil (sao paulo GRU) next year. But only want to travel on the new club world suites.
Flight is from LHR on a Thursday 13th feb 2025 BA0247 and returns on Tuesday 25th Feb 2025 BA0246. Currently this is listed as an Airbus A350 jet and i think according to the information on your website this will have the new club world suite?
What are the chances this may change becuase its 1 year away and does the day we fly on change what airplanes they may use for this route? (and put as at risk of them using an older plane with the old business class seats?)
Thanks
premiumflights
Chances are high, this route is operated regulary by club world suites, and BA is retrofitting more and more planes. But there is for no route a 100% guarantee, as an aircraft might get an issue at last minute and might be replaced by an aircraft with or without club suite.
Matt
I see that BA217 (LHR-IAD) has been switched from a 777 (CS) to a 787-9 (old 2-3-2 seating) on April 5, 2024. What are the chances this gets switched to a 787-10 or back to a 777-200/300 within the next 2 months? Really bummed that its not the new CS anymore on the flight back to the U.S! I’d think they’d want the new product on the Washington D.C route…or I’m just being greedy!
premiumflights
Looking at the seatmaps, it seems that the second daily flight BA292/BA293 is now operated by a 777 with BA suites.
But starting May, it is again BA216/BA217 that is operated by a 777 with BA Suites and the second flight will be on a A380 (without suites)
Brad
Hi there,
Eager to try the new club suite so booked a return flight (BA252) Nassau to LHR back in December for July 24 showing the new layout. Looked again today and it’s changed to the old 242 layout. Flightaware showing planes used since the start of Jan are those with old layout (VIIV predominantly). Any idea if it should/will change back again come July when I fly? Or are they keeping the old planes on this route for the forseebale? Many thanks 🙂
premiumflights
I just took a look at planefinder, the route is still operated on some days by club suites, as written in the post the best chances are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and sometimes also Sundays.
jay
Hi we are thinking about flying from UK Gatwick to mexico (cancun) in December 2024. Current flights are listed as BA2203 for outbound and BA2202 for inbound
Would these planes have the new club world suites fitted or would it be the old style business class seats?
Thanks
James
BA gatwick 777’s have a refreshed version of the old club world seat. We went to Cancun on our honeymoon last August and th experience was pleasant but sadly no club suites expected at Gatwick as i understand it. Enjoy Cancun!
