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.

      No, nothing planned for the moment. Maybe later in 2024… But it all depends on how fast BA will retrofit the 777s.

    Looks like BA just put 787-10 #6 in service (D) so that’s a few more club suites available. E should be online soon as there has been test flights to Moses lake.
    We just did our EU trip on 777-200er sea-lhr and not nearly as awful as I feared in old 2010 first. They must have cobbled together all the best bits in the new 8 seat cabin as seats in very good nick. Also decent ife on the little old screens, very responsive. And I now realize these old first seats in the 777 create huge beds. Much wider especially at the feet end than 747 or the new first product on 787. Big deal for 6 foot plus passengers. All in all wonderful flights with the full food service back on. Anything you want on menu whenever you want. Still no warm nuts though, packets put in a dish.

      We had a flight back to Europe 2 weeks ago, it was also a 777 with the old business class layout. Seats were in a good shape, it was a night flight, and we slept better in those seats compared to Swiss Business class that we had on the way to the US.
      PS: We’ve added the 6th 787-10 to the list.

        This 777-200 had clubsuites and I was finally ably to take a minute to look them over for the first time. Definitely pretty tight fit in there, but 1-2-1 layout is such a huge improvement and the door seems like a real plus for sleeping.
        I hope the new first class with doors doesn’t loose too much of the flat bed legroom that the old 2010 seat has on 777.
        It will also be a plus when all 787-10 are online as the fleet is reaching max life on a lot of aircraft. I mean the -200er to LHR had 26+ years on it.

    We’re flying BA16 (Sydney to London) on 4th January, any idea if 789 retrofit will be in play by then? Going to be gutted if the only time I manage to book us all using Avios ends us being the crappy old Club World.

    We’re looking to fly to Tokyo in March 2024. For now all the flights are showing the old CW and not CS as BA are using 787-9 for this route. What are the chances that it will get changed to CS by then?

    • premiumflights

      April 6, 2023 at 6:51 pm Reply

      At the moment, BA hasn’t planned to use other aircraft than the 787-9 on that route, which means old seats. But at some point, BA will start retrofitting the 787-8 and 787-9s.

        Hi any idea if the BA2065 777 twin jet to Mauritius next January 2024 is likely to have club world suites? The seat map on our booking initially showed 8 seats across the cabin in club world, it’s now showing 4 seats across the cabin. Thankyou!

          It seems that starting November BA will use a retrofitted 777 with Club Suites on that route. But there’s no guarantee

        On some days, BA has 2 flights to Tokyo. The one with the 787 has no suites, but it seems that the one with the 777 has finally the Club Suites.

    I’m flying to JFK from Heathrow on the 12th June on BA177 (Boeing 777), but seatguru is showing the old layout despite the fact that all New York routes have the new layout?
    Likewise, I’m flying from Miami back to Heathrow on the 25th June on BA206, which is listed, which also shows the old layout on SeatGuru.

      Seatguru isn’t the best source. Use Expertflyer, Google Flights or the British Airways website. If you have a booking, try choosing your seats, even if you don’t want to pay in advance (if you are not Oneworld Sapphire at least), but you can see the layout.

    We booked Nassau to London Heathrow – traveling next month (April) on BA 252. This article says it’s the new Suite but our seat map says otherwise. Has something changed or is it likely to change closer to the flight date?

        We are due to fly to Nassau in November (on a Friday). Initial booking had us choose club suites- had an email today telling me it has changed and his now the old layout).

    I have noticed on our BA Gatwick to Vancouver flight in the summer, that BA have changed the aircraft and it now appears to have the new Club suite. (Our seats have been reassigned with the new seat map indicating it has the new club seat).
    Interesting if this is so as the LGW based 777’s we’re not the priority for the new club seats. I may be talking nonsense here but as they are in with Qatari and fly to Doha, have they required the better seat for the code share in/out of Doha as Qatar Airways always demanded a high standard and the aircraft they use on this route also rotates onto other destinations to fit into the flying schedule. Or just the competition is making BA react to provide a better product.

    When we originally booked our LHR to SFO for 19 May 2023, the layout when selecting our seats was the new Club Suite. This made us very happy. However just a few months ago they contacted us to say that they had assigned us new seats due to a change of aircraft and we were so disappointed to see that this was a downgrade rather than an upgrade as the cabin layout is now showing very clearly that they have substituted an older aircraft with the original Club World configuration. I would have thought that for such a long flight they would have prioritised the SFO destination for the new Club Suite. Is it normal practice for them to change things in this way and why might they be doing so?

    • premiumflights

      March 5, 2023 at 7:47 am Reply

      Well, sadly there’s no guarantee when you book the suites that you get them. The only guarantee that you have is that you will fly in business class when you book it. I guess they are doing that because they didn’t expect so many people travelling again, I can see that they use the A380 again on that route quite often. It has more seats, but never got and most probably will never get the club suites.
      I don’t know if you are flexible or not, it seems that BA uses the club suite on several dates in May to San Francisco. You could ask if they can rebook you on one of those. However, I am not sure how BA will handle that request.

    Very helpful overview, thanks for this. Hope that we will have club suite on our flight BA67 with a 777-300 to Philadelphia on 8 March 2023. So far, map shows old config. But also noticed that on some days this January, some retrofitted planes were used, also a 777-200 one day. Is there a detailed schedule with weeks or dates for retrofitting the remaining 777s?

    Just booked LHR to SEA for Sept 23 , still showing old club world on the 777, what’s the chances this could change to club suites nearer to the time or is it anyone’s guess?

      February 4, 2023 at 8:14 am Reply

      That’s hard to tell, if BA is retrofitting enough 777’s until then you might have luck. But the LHR-SEA route is as well operated once a day by a 787-10, that one has the club suite.

      That’s odd. We have an lhr to sea 777 in April and it must be clubsuite as there’s only 8 seats in first. When we first booked it was 14 seats (which is a non refurb 777) but then switched to 8 seat cabin (clubsuite 777).
      I would think all lhr 777-300 would easily be upgraded by sept.
      Finally I just searched sept lhr – sea on google flights for ba and it shows 777 “individual suite” which is their term for the club suite (787-9 is “lie flat seat” for example).

    I have flown on 6 different reg 777/200 out of LGW and none had new club suite, yet your report said 25/28 89% have been completed? This must 28 777/200 which only work out of LHR?

    FYI 787-10 G-ZBLG was delivered to BA a week or two ago, but ZBLD and ZBLE have not delivered yet. BA currently has five 787-10.
    I’ve also read that BA is showing 787-9 with club suite seat maps on some November bookings. So things are moving along a little

      Thank you, added it to the list. We’ve read that as well that the first 787-9 with club suite should be ready end of this year. ZBLD and ZBLE were planned for 2022, we’ve changed that now to 2023.

    We have first class booked SEA to LHR return in March/April on 777. Originally in a 14 seat cabin map, just recently swapped out to an 8 seat cabin (we lost a reserved window seat).
    Are all 8 seat first class 777 the new first suites with doors? Or are they just tearing out 6 seats and leaving the miserable old 2010 seats?

          Thanks for reply. I’ve seen the aerolopa plan but this may be referring to newly manufactured 777-300er which were delivered with new first suites (and club suites of course) already installed.
          What is less clear is what happens in the older 777-300er first cabin when club suites are installed. Certainly it goes from 14 to 8 seats, but do they install the new first seats? No one seems to know.
          But yes they swapped planes on me, probably sending the original one to be refurbed. I doubt SEA-LHR would be on a 200er.

            Beating a dead horse here, but… I’m seeing more review videos of 777-300 club suite refurbs with 8 seat first class cabins. The really OLD fold out screen first seat. So they are just removing six seats and leaving the awful oldest product in the fleet. I’m betting all but the 3 new 777 delivered in 2021 will have the old first seats. They are not installing the new first with doors anymore. So the 787-9 and -10 will have the newer First without doors and practically every other plane will have the crappy old seats they first installed on 747s over a decade ago. Broken ife screens, torn stained seats, wobbly tables. A real bummer.

    Surprised Rio de Janeiro has been made a priority for BA. Anyone know if this is likely to have the new club suite by end of next year?

        Just booked Banglagore and the seat selection is 2-3-2. Your site says above that it should be Club Suite and so 1-2-1. Do you know why there’s a discrepancy?

            It looks like that BA is using the 787 now from January to March, thereafter again the 777 with suites. When is your flight?

      British Airways haven’t had plans to reconfigure the Gatwick jets anytime soon, but when looking at the seatmap we could find as well some flights to Vancouver(YVR) with a club suite cabin, on a few selected dates starting summer 2023.
