Exciting news for Australian Business Class travellers… British Airways is heading back to Melbourne for the first time in 20 years. From January 2027, the carrier will fly daily via Malaysia.

What’s British Airways Business Class Like?

The Club World Suites on British Airways is their recently revamped Business Class offering. It’s featured on all A350s, some 787s and majority of their 777s. These feature direct aisle access plus a sliding door, three- course dishes and a polished and sleek cabin. With great privacy, comfort and delectable dining, this is a top notch Business Class Suite.

The older Club World seat on British Airways is often referred to as “Yin Yang” seats. This is due to the 2-4-2 or 2-3-2 Business Class layout where seats alternate facing forward and backward. Currently, all British Airways A380s feature this layout, and some 787s and 777s. Although comfortable, it lacks the modern amenities and features of their new Club World Suite product.
