British airways business class

British Airways has several classes of travel designed for the comfort of business travelers. Travel within countries, say within the USA or short flights inside Europe, is generally less luxurious than long-haul international flights. On international flights, however, the new club suites in the brand new business class Airbus A350 -1000 might just set a new industry standard.

To fly, to serve. That is the tagline of the UK’s main carrier British Airways. It takes pride in offering reliable and friendly service while carrying the Union Flag to the farthest-flung corners of the globe. The airline’s Business Class, branded as Club World, was one of the first to offer flat-bed seats, and the carrier continues to evolve its premium product today.

Afternoon tea with scones, locally sourced menu ingredients, and even a beer made just for the airline are special British touches that set Club World apart from other airlines.

British Airways is a founding member of the oneworld alliance, meaning fliers can earn and redeem Avios points with its many partners. Conversely, members of other alliance member airlines can earn and redeem their miles with British Airways.

Airport experience with British business-class tickets

All British Airways flights pass through London with primary hubs at London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports (and a smaller operation at London City).

Club World passengers have access to premium check-in desks and security access. Once airside, they will find large Galleries Club lounges at both Heathrow and Gatwick airports with self-service bars offering cocktails, soft drinks, wine, and beer. They feature service desks for assistance with tickets, a wide selection of magazines and newspapers, workstations with computers and free Wi-Fi, and buffets with warm and cold food selections.

London-based Union Coffee plus a wide variety of Twinings Tea and accompaniments come as no surprise for a British carrier. Travelers with Sapphire status on oneworld airlines can also use the Club World lounges when traveling in any cabin while top-status Emerald members gain access to British Airways First Class lounge, even if traveling in Club World.

British Airways also operates an arrivals lounge for Business Class passengers flying into London Heathrow on long-haul flights. This is a great way to maximize sleep onboard and enjoy breakfast in the lounge after a quick shower or coffee. It is located past immigration and customs and is available between 5 a.m. and 2 p.m.

British Airways offers several branded lounges in airports worldwide including Johannesburg, New York JFK, Philadelphia, and Washington Dulles. In the United Kingdom, British Airways also has lounges in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Manchester. These offer similar amenities to their London counterparts although are not as abundant. In some of the North American lounges like New York JFK, Philadelphia, and Washington Dulles, pre-flight supper is available in the lounge so that passengers can sleep straight after takeoff. That is especially helpful on short red-eye flights to London.

In cities where there is no British Airways lounge, Business Class passengers have access to third-party facilities (often a oneworld partner) as they await their flight’s departure.
