British Airways Unveils New Dreamliner’s First-Class Cabin

Published: September 19, 2015 | By: American Luxury Staff

Flying with British Airways just got a whole lot more comfortable. The company recently announced the debut of their new first-class cabin found in the Dreamliner.

Since the Dreamliner is a longer version of the Boeing 787-9, British Airways took advantage of the added space to provide for their new first-class cabin. Although flyers can still choose from business, premium economy, and economy cabins, they now have another option for long flights to Middle Eastern destinations like Abu Dhabi and Muscat.

With just 8 seats in the new first-class, travelers will enjoy added privacy and a suite with storage for shoes, jackets, handbags, and coats. An updated in-flight control console features a smartphone-style handset that can also be docked to enjoy a film on the personal 23-inch TV.

The roomy cabin sports leather flat-bed seats with fabric trim, enhanced lighting options, an extra headrest, and lumbar adjustment.

The upgraded Dreamliner will begin flying to destinations in the Middle East starting November 5.
