British Airways has unveiled its next-generation First cabin with an impressive new suite. The seat is incredibly spacious, with a width of 36.5 inches, providing ample room for comfort and privacy. The sleeping area is equally luxurious, allowing for a full body stretch within its curved walls. The entertainment system includes a 32-inch 4K display, while the suite also features a wardrobe for luggage and luxurious amenities, making it feel like a hotel room. The new design also includes adjustable mood lighting and a social dining option.
Ever tried making yourself look small in an airline seat? It's not easy - yet here I am, feeling like a toddler in an adult's arm chair in British Airways ' new First Class suite. I was at the company's headquarters for the launch of their next-generation First cabin, and their new seat is so wide (36.5 inches, to be exact) I couldn't comfortably reach both armrests at the same time.
And as one of the first Brits to actually slip between the sheets to test out the bedding, I can confirm the sleeping space is equally excessive. I had enough room to do a proper starfish, all while cocooned within curved 60-inch walls that make each suite feel properly private, without being claustrophobic. The TV is basically a cinema screen - we're talking 32 inches of 4K display right in your face and looks a lot like a normal high-end telly as it's not flush with the console, which actually gives it more of the feel of a proper little hotel room. The only minus here is that despite it looking like a normal telly, you can't plug in your games console or laptop via HDMI, but BA told me they are working on some solution. On the outside, there's a sleek wardrobe setup where you can actually wheel your luggage straight in - no undignified overhead bin struggles here. There's a separate section for hanging clothes which contains fancy Temperley pyjamas waiting for you when you board. The whole thing's designed to feel like a proper luxury hotel room, right down to the adjustable mood lighting with settings for 'relax', 'dine' and 'cinema'. And for those celebrating a special occasion, there's this whole social setup where you can slide open the divider between seats and have dinner together. The table's also big enough for a proper feast, though with seats this wide, you could probably both squeeze into one suite anyway
