British Airways is investing billions to transform the UK flag carrier.
After unveiling its updated short-haul interior in March, BA showed off its new first-class cabin at its London headquarters on Monday.
Set to debut on the Airbus A380 in 2026, it’s an impressive upgrade from the current premium products — especially on the superjumbo jet, which has an older design.
The airline said the new first-class’s modern curves and ambient light nod to Concorde, while the materials and design come from different parts of the UK.
Business Insider was among the first people to see inside the new suite. It has plenty of stowage space, a huge seat, and touchscreen controls. In the center, there’s the option to remove the divider so couples or friends can sit together.
Here’s what British Airways’ new first class looks like.
