British Airways Club Suite Routes

March 20, 2024 / 301 Comments

The Ultimate Guide for BA Club Suite, all the info you need about routes where you can experience the new BA Club Suite, including flight numbers, plane registrations, retrofit schedules, 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.

 

3. British Airways planes equipped with the Club World Suite

  • Airbus A350-1000: 18 of 18 (100%)
  • Boeing 777-200: 28 of 31 (90%)

    Hi I’m booked on flight from JNB to LHR end of July 24. We are in the upper deck and it’s 2 seats together. 1 front facing the other rear facing. Does this mean it’s not Club Suite?

    We are flying out LHR to CPT and it’s 1-2-1 configuration and I believe they have rolled out Club Suite on this route? Thanks for any info

    hello,

    i just booked a ba32/ba31 (Boeing 777) flight in august from HKG to LHR which shows a 1-2-1 seat layout. However, whats not clear is whether the cabin is club suite equipped. I called the CS team and they said it wasnt club suite equipped for the asia flights. Im not sure if they’re right but from your info i would have thought it was club suite – any thoughts?

    hi
    I booked club world seats to miami next year 2025 begining of Feb departure , at the time of booking seats were showing B787/10 aircraft club suites on BA209/208 but suddenly now changed to A380 again and now subsequently my seats number changed again which i had paid for… As you mention from november 2024 BA209/208 should be operating 787/10 , or its too early see which aircraft will be operating..many thanks ,very best

      Hi, no it’s not too early. Unfortunately, it looks that BA changed their plans again, Miami will now be operated twice a day by an A380 from November. The moment you booked their plan was once a day by a 787-10, but not anymore now 🙁

    Hello, looking at booking LHR to BOM (mumbai), however very recently the planes appeared to have changed…
    BA199 was B787-9, now it is B777-200
    BA139 is other way round, was B777 now B787
    BA135 seems to have kept the B787-9…

    Unsure of which to choose, particularly as Google flights says that in July the BA139 will have “individual suites” i.e. club suites still, despite it potentially being a 787-9…

    Any ideas?
    Thanks very much

    Firstly – AMAZING research! Thank you for doing this.

    I’m flying to Rio in October and currently it looks like it’s the old Club World setup. Is it fair to assume that the premium economy setup will also be dated? Or will it be the new(er) style?

    Thanks!

    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?

      The above information suggests the suites will be available on the BA007 to Tokyo from April, but our flight in Nov is showing as operating on a 787, are they likely to revert back for winter operations?

      Thank you ☺️

      • premiumflights

        March 27, 2024 at 12:21 pm Reply

        Yes, correct, from April until October that route is operated daily by an A350 with suites and by a 787 without suites. Starting November it is only operated once a day by a 787, and unfortunately without suites.

    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

      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.

    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!

      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)

    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 🙂

      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.

    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

      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!

      Hi,

      I wanted to treat the wife to a club suite flight for our holiday in September to Abu Dhabi.

      BA are just restarting daily direct flights LHR-AUH however it seems it’ll be a 787-9. Do you think this is likely to change in the next 6 months or so considering your information on further retrofitting?

      Failing that, are there any flights to Dubai with CS? We’re happy to drive down the coast to our hotel instead.

      Cheers 🙂
