British Airways Club Suite Routes

June 1, 2024 / 336 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.

(last update, JUN 01, 2024)

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. 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.

 

3. British Airways planes equipped with the Club World Suite

  • Airbus A350-1000: 18 of 18 (100%)
  • Boeing 777-200: 28 of 31 (90%)
  • Boeing 777-300: 13 of 16 (81%)
  • Boeing 777-9: 0 (12 ordered in total)
  • Boeing 787-10: 8 of 8 (100%, 18 ordered in total)
  • Boeing 787-9: 0 of 18 (0%)
  • Boeing 787-8: 1 of 12 (8%)
  • Airbus A380: 0 of 12 (0%)

Below, in the graph, you can see British Airways’ plans for the rollout of the new cabin.

    The San Diego to London Heathrow flight 272 and new 264 beginning in April appear to have the old Club World seats on both flights for May 19-22 which is my range of dates for travel. I have flown this route many times with the Club Suites. Any idea why they are no longer using aircraft with Club Suites?? Very disappointing.

      During the winter there’s only 1 flight a day, that should be a 777 with club suites.
      Starting mid-April BA flies twice a day to San Diego, one flight is operated by a 787 without suites, but the other one is a 777 and that one should have the club suites.

    We are booked to fly business class, Gatwick to JFK in august 2024, I see there are 2 registrations based at LGW that appear to have the new business suites, would they usually use thes these in New York routes? If not a]have you any further new on further LGW 777 upgrades ? Thanks

    Does Anyone know if any of the Flights to Tampa or Orlando have the new Suite upgrade?
    they are 777 and planning to fly in April next year.. thought all the 777 were upgraded – but cant seem to find it on any forums of confirmed ones..

      Not all the 777s are upgraded for the time being. Boeing 777-200: 28 of 31 (90%)
      Boeing 777-300: 12 of 16 (75%).
      London Gatwick based airplanes will be the last to get the suites, not seeing anything for next year at the moment.

    Hello, am flying to Cancun from Gatwick on 29th February 2024, flight no: BA2203 aircraft type 777. Seat layout seems to match the new style with Club Suites but Cancun is not mentioned anywhere as being one of the destinations that would have Club Suites and also Gatwick Fleet does not seem to be having many ( or any ) aircrafts refitted. Does anyone know if this is new style or old? Many thanks in advance.

    I can see that the LHR-HND (Tokyo) route is currently running flights with the new suites on, and then drops off in March/April 24.
    Does anyone know if they would be likely to keep the aircraft on those routes – or should I trust the seatmap for when I am looking to travel (Sep/Oct 24)
    I am just about to book the flights, but the difference between the 2 seats looks ridiculous, and don’t really want to delay any more.
    Has anybody had experience of the new club suite being provided after booking the old version? Is there any info if this route will likely have the reto-fit completed by Sep 24?

      There’s no info about routes with retro-fit completed.
      It is possible, and happened to me, that you book a new club suite, but due to an aircraft change you end up with the old biz class. But that’s mostly on routes where no all aircraft offer the suites, it won’t happen to JFK for example.

      In exactly the same situation/desire as yourself down to the month! I delayed this year in the hope it might be the Suite by Autumn 24.
      BA have form on making a song and dance about new Club Suite routes only to read the small print and discover it’s temporary. They did this to Singapore, only half the flights, for half a year. Now the A380 is back on that route with the old cabins.

      Flyertalk has a good ongoing Club Suite Thread. Personally, I would take the seating plan as gospel to avoid disappointment.

    British Airways Flight #0169 (BA0169) LONDON to SHANGHAI on Tues 25h June 2024. I think this is a Boeing 787-9
    does this aircraft have or is expecting to have the new Club Suite ?

    Alternatively, British Airways Flight 0089 (BA0089) LONDON to Beijing Daxing Intl on Tues 25h June 2024 (Boeing 777 jet)
    does this aircraft have or is expecting to have the new Club Suite ?

    We are flying from LGW to Mauritius next week and were hoping that we would be in the new club suite but sadly it looks like we will be clambering over strangers’ legs again! Do you have any idea when the Gatwick aircraft will be refitted?

      We are flying the same route at the end of November coming back mid December travelling on a 777 BA 2065. I booked the flights and paid for seat allocation in January, then in April I received an email from BA stating that they had to change our seats. When I looked at the new seat plan it showed a 1-2-1 configuration rather than the 2-3-2 that I had originally booked. I contacted BA to confirm these were the new suites but customer services were unhelpful and couldn’t confirm, however given that the 1-2-1 configuration is only for the new suites then either the Mauritius route is changing later in the year to the new suites or we were just lucky they have rescheduled a different plane for our fight.

    Traveling on BA194 Houston to LHR in December 2023. Booked business on the afternoon flight on a 777 with the suites configuration, then got a notification of seat changes to 787. Extremely disappointed since two in our group are 6’6” and we booked specifically for that suites configuration to give those guys more room. Route currently shows 777-10, but changes in November back to old the configuration. Any update on when that route will be fully updated?

      Unfortunately, those plane changes can happen all the time until BA has retrofitted all the planes.
      Looking at the seatmaps, it seems that the route Houston – London is operated by planes with NO suites from November to mid-January 2024.

    I had a question about the BA60/61 to and from Male. It says again from Nov 23. Does this mean they did or is there a certain timeframe they put on the Club Suite 787-9 planes in 23/24?
    I ask as will be taking this flight in Jan 24 and I was really hoping it’s the new format.

      BA have flown this route with the suites already, but at the moment they don’t. I guess they will use it for winter only, at the moment, until all planes are equipped with suites.

    It looks looks like Mauritius is the latest destination to get the BA Club Suite. I booked specific seats on a trip in late November and received an email from BA stating my seats have been changed – the configuration has altered from 2-2-2 backward and forward facing to 1-2-1 forward facing. No complaints as they have even given me great replacement seats. Seat Guru and other sites still show the old configuration.

    • premiumflights

      July 14, 2023 at 5:41 pm Reply

      Seat Guru is never up-to-date. And you’re lucky, it seems that BA operates that route (LHR-MRU) with BA Club Suite from November until March, before and after that dates the seatmap shows the old configuration.

        Cheers, but interestingly BA16 (787) costs significantly more than BA12 (777). I’ll be booking with Qantas FF points and I note that BA16 seats are snapped up much more quickly than BA12. I will call BA in Australia tomorrow and see what they say. I’ll keep you posted!

    Good afternoon. I’ll be traveling through LHR from Seattle late May of 2024. I currently hold a tix on the later of the 2 daily flights on a 787-10 because of newer club suites set up however I would prefer the earlier flight on the 777-300 because of connections. It appears this flight still has the old configuration. I’d rather stay one night at a LHR hotel nearby than fly in the old configuration. Any insight of this will be converted by May 2024

        There’s no number you can call.
        In May 2024 it shows Suites for the 787 and the 777.
        That can still change, there’s no guarantee.

    Hi!
    I noticed LHR-ATL is on your list, and I believe another poster commented he’s had suites on that route. I’ve recently booked atl-lhr round trip for November 17th departure atl-lhr and the seat map shows the old club world seat map. Any thoughts on what might be going on here ? Thx ! I checked flights all around those dates and even into 2024 and they all show the 2-4-2.

    • premiumflights

      June 21, 2023 at 2:03 pm Reply

      It looks like that starting end of October the route LHR-ATL is operated by a 777 without the Club Suites.
      But as BA is still retrofitting their planes, there is still hope that you will get the Club Suites by chance in November.

        June 21, 2023 at 6:01 pm Reply

        Also, seems odd that once they have updated a route to club suites, they then revert back to an older plan. Perhaps it is seasonal / they relocated the club suites plan on more popular route for winter? Hoping this changes by November!

        Thank you again

        What happened to BA’s committment to retrofitting all 777’s by end ’22?
        Perhaps they meant end ’23. Flying LHR SFO in October 23, gutted it’s showing old CW 🙄

          You should have BA Suites all the way, BLR-LHR and as well LHR-ATL.

    I just booked a Club World award flight from Beijing Daxing Airport to LHR on June 11, and the seat reservation shows that it is Club Suite. The Club World on my flight from LHR to Shanghai Pudong Airport in May was still the old fashioned seat.

      That route is operated by a 787, until now only the 787-10 is equipped with a club suite cabin. Maybe BA will use the 787-10 on the Shanghai soon, but we can’t find any info on that at the moment.
