British Airways is the latest airline investing in the future of the A380 superjumbo, unveiling a fresh design for its first class product, set to launch on the airline’s A380 airplanes in 2026.

British Airways unveiled its new first-class cabin as part of an ongoing transformation. Couples can sit together in the new setup.

British Airways plans to introduce a new first class on its Airbus SE A380 double-deckers in mid 2026, betting that the most expensive seats at the front of the aircraft still have a place in the cabin even as business class berths become more luxurious.

British Airways has new renders out for the forthcoming first class suite that it plans to refit onto its Airbus A380s, and it looks superb.

The carrier has made major changes to the premium cabins on its Airbus A380’s. The new plane seats will be nearly 37 inches wide and can be extended into a bed. The cabins have sliding doors which officials say ensures privacy. Every first class seat also comes with a 32 inch personal entertainment screen and lighting that can be adjusted.

Yesterday, British Airways unveiled its new First seat, featuring a modern design and British craftsmanship. The airline designed the seat to feel like a luxury hotel, along with unique British elements and home-like comforts.
