New BA business class available on New York route
British Airways revamped Club World has been made available on all 96 Boeing 747 flights a week between Heathrow and New York JFK.
Engineers are re-fitting up to three 747s a month with new larger beds in business class and improved in-flight entertainment systems across each aircraft.
Seventeen of the airline’s 100 long-haul aircraft have been fitted with the new cabin as part of a £100 million overhaul.
The installation programme is on track to be completed by the middle of next year, according to the airline.
The Club World cabin on 747 services to JFK includes 70 beds that enable passengers to work, sleep or relax.
BA commercial director Robert Boyle said: “British Airways set the industry standard in 2000 by launching the first ever flat bed for business customers, but we are constantly striving to innovate and improve.
“Heathrow-JFK is a crucial business route and we are delighted to provide a virtual guarantee of our new product on this high-frequency route.
“Research has shown us that our business customers want a home away from home with all of the comfort, privacy and flexibility that one would expect from a plush 5* hotel.”
A lead-in return club fare from Heathrow to JFK is £2,089.80 including taxes.
