Which seat am I going to get?
BA operates 17 cabin layouts across its fleet. Aircraft rotate between routes daily, while aircraft types are mid-refurbishment. We aim to help you understand what seat is on what aircraft, what is available, and what seat is best for you.

I was about to book BA33 to KUL thinking I'd get Club Suite. Seatcheck showed me it was actually the old Club World. Switched to a different flight, Club Suite confirmed. Saved my trip.
