BA launches New Club World

The first airline in the world to introduce a truly lie flat business class seat (horizontal) has now upgraded its seat to be longer and wider, with more privacy.

BA's new club world is easiest seen in the website http://www.newclubworld.com

It is to be rolled out on all of its 747s and 777s in the next 18 months, and is definitely a step forward. From appearances the seats look more comfortable and spacious, and will help given Virgin Atlantic and others a run for their money - though - from appearances, it looks like Singapore Airlines' new business class product will be a more comfortable seat (although remember Singapore Airlines is not yet retrofitting its 747s and current 777s with the new seating).

So there you have it - the second generation of lie flat bed seats, we will see what Virgin Atlantic does in response.
