British Airways Club Suite Routes

May 26, 2025 /543 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.

British Airways Club Suite delivers a great business class experience, but fares can vary greatly depending on when and where you book. If you want to learn how to consistently find cheap business class tickets, don’t miss our full guide to booking affordable business class flights.

 

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. Older cabins without the club suite do not have a 1-2-1 configuration.

Alternatively, you can also check via Google Flights if the business class seat is shown as “Suite”. However, this will not always work correctly.

    Booked Miami to Rome through Heathrow, then back from Rome to Vancouver through Heathrow in March 2023. Seatmap showed 1-2-1 configuration. Since we are going through Heathrow, does that make the chances of the aircraft being changed to something with the old configuration less likely?

      At the moment, all aircraft with suites depart from LHR only. Apart from this, most long haul flights depart from Heathrow, with exception to those from London Gatewick, but those are all non suites configuration.

        We’ve looked into it, it looks that Club Suite are planned until the end of October only, for the time being. With a bit of luck, BA will have retrofitted a few more planes, and you will have the suites…

    How can I tell if my BA flight from JFK-LHR and back in mid-late January 2023 will be Club World Suites or old? It lists only Club World and 777 on the flight details.

    We’ve just been informed of seat changes by BA for our flights LHR-NAS (Nassau) in July 2023. These changes seem to indicate a change from a club suite to non-club suite aircraft. Very disappointing given that we’ll be on one of the few 777s which haven’t been updated!
    Any idea if things might change back again by next summer? Or is it just pot luck?

      Sadly, it’s just pot luck as you say. The same think happened to me, BA changed from Suites (which I booked) to non-suites, then a month later to suites again, and 4 weeks before my departure to non-suites. If BA sticks to their original plan, 92% of all planes should have suites in 2023, which I doubt.

    Love this site – just what I was looking for. Hoping you can help me on this, especially since even in Business I can’t chose our seats without paying for a seat assignment!?! We’re flying BOS-LHR-JNB late September 2023, then CPT-LHR-BOS early October 2023. Any clue as to whether these will be suites? One odd thing – we booked as AA tix and the BOS-LHR leg on AA says its a 787-900, but on BA it says it’s an A380-800? Thanks!

      November 11, 2022 at 9:22 am Reply

      If your flight number between LHR and BOS is BA212 and BA213 you will have the A380 as shown on BA and sadly no suites.
      LHR-JNB seems to be operated now by an A380 as well, so again, no suites.
      CPT-LHR is operated by planes with Suites.

    Hey, great site!
    I see 787-8 are in the mix for upgrades to Club Suite format. Here’s my dilemma. I’m planning a Sept ’23 trip to LHR from BNA — Nashville TN. Since that’s a less busy route, is it a fair guess that it will be one of the last to get the updates?
    Since this is a ‘bucket list’ experience (cruise ship return), the flight is part of the fun.
    So… Direct, non-stop to minimize potential travel woes, on what might be the old style?
    Or, Fly through JFK / EWR to get Club Suite? Or, at that point, why not Virgin Atlantic?
    (No particular allegiance / rewards)
    What say you?

    Thanks very much!
    CJP

      For the moment it doesn’t look like you will have club suites to Nashville in September, this can change, but it all depends on how fast BA will retrofit their planes. I guess they are behind the schedule, due to covid and some other excuses 😉
      Through JFK you will have the suites, I can’t tell you what is better BA Suites or Virgin Atlantic, both are great, I would take the cheaper ticket.

          Hello. The wife and I are flying to Heathrow from Houston (IAH) in June 2022. BA says 787-9 and seat map looks like old layout not suites. However, this website suggests that it’s the new club suites. I would love for that to be true, since I’ve spent $$ to make this a memorable experience. How can I be sure? Thanks!!

            We’ve checked the seatmaps again. This route is operated by Suites, but until now on every single date. Until the end of next year, it seems that they will use the suite cabin for both inbound and outbound flights.

            So, you can still hope to get an airplane with suites, if BA retrofits their planes fast enough.

      It looks like BA swapped aircraft on that route recently, this route is now operated by an Airbus 380, and it looks that they will use it in 2023 on that route as well, so no suites 🙁

      We’re flying on the same route in March – looking at the layout on Expert Flyer it matches what we saw recently on BA108/9 between LHR and DXB and this was the new Club Suite.

      Layout is showing the same for BA061 – Business in rows 4 to 24 and the 1-2-1 layout.

      SeatGuru was showing the wrong layout for our DXB flights and is showing likewise for Male.

    I am on BA218 next Monday. The flight seat map keeps sending me to the old club world and I’ve checked the registration on the past week’s flights and they all fit into the new club world suites model. I will note, this plane also does not have the option for first class when booking a new flight. Do we know what option we might get?! Hoping for new suites!

    We are booked on BA181 LHR-EWR on 17 September and was originally a club suite on the seat map but now has changed to the old club world cabin of the 77J variant, it appears that aircraft of this variant have also been flying BA181 recently, so I’m not sure saying all New York flights have club suites is accurate anymore?

    I’m flying Gatwick to Doha in April 23 and it currently says a 777-200/300 but the seating plan shows the old club world configuration. The comments here are conflicting that whilst the 777s are all expected to be refurbed.. you’ve said Gatwick flights are lagging behind. Can I expect the club suite for when I fly?

    • premiumflights

      August 2, 2022 at 9:00 am Reply

      I don’t think that all 777s are refurbished until April 23. As always, there is a difference on how fast they planned to refurbish planes and actually refurbish them.

      We’ve just read yesterday that this route should get the Club Suite starting October 30, this year.

        I thought I had read that somewhere but for the life of me couldn’t find it.

        In your experience are they normally on time with their estimates as I am looking at a flight on the 30th October that is ideal but will look to a later date if they tend to be delayed with their roll out. Obviously with covid nothing is guaranteed these dates but would welcome your thoughts.
