British Airways unveiled the business-class seat it’s counting on to fend off Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd and other rivals in markets including London-to-New York, the world’s most lucrative route for corporate travel.
The “Club Suite†will transform into a flat bed, a feature now standard after BA introduced it in the 1990s, but will also come with a door, meeting customer requests for added privacy, the airline said. Also included are a vanity unit and mirror, an 18 1/2-inch screen and 40 percent more storage space.
British Airways will switch to the new seats with the arrival of its first Airbus SE A350 jets in July, the unit of IAG SA said in a statement.
