The new A380 experience
Our A380 fleet is entering a new era. The interiors of this iconic A380 aircraft have been redesigned from nose to tail, bringing you an all-new British Airways experience designed around comfort, style and thoughtful details at every stage of the journey.
The largest transformation in our history will deliver reimagined seating throughout every cabin, from World Traveller to First. Paired with refreshed cabin interiors, the new seats will help create a more modern travel experience.
Beyond the new seats, brand-new amenity kits, upgraded bedding and refreshed menus have been carefully curated to help you relax, dine and rest more comfortably from take-off to landing.

Our retrofit programme is one of the most extensive cabin transformations undertaken by any airline, involving the installation of more than 35,000 individual parts across each A380 aircraft.
Alongside these fresh fittings and fixtures, we’ll be introducing new meal choices and beverages, including a ‘From the Grill’ selection for First customers and an updated self-service kitchen for customers flying in Club World.
Wondering when you can experience it for yourself? The first refurbished A380 is expected to take to the skies in the coming months on selected routes.

You’ll still enjoy all the great benefits of First, including access to luxury lounges, priority boarding and a generous baggage allowance.
“This is a major milestone for British Airways and the future of our A380 fleet, marking one of the most significant transformations we’ve ever undertaken on any aircraft.
‘We've completely reimagined the customer experience, introducing new and updated seats in every cabin, all carefully considered to deliver greater comfort and an elevated customer experience.”
