British Airways has also released images of the new First cabin that will make its debut on the latest the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner that will start flying to Abu Dhabi and Muscat from 5 November. The 787-9, the first of which is due to arrive with British Airways at the end of September, is 20ft longer that its 787-8 predecessor. Its First Cabin will have eight seats, six fewer than other British Airways long-haul aircraft.

Created specifically for the Boeing 787-9, the new first class suites were designed based on feedback from customers, putting comfort at the heart of the experience and making the very best use of the more intimate space.
