Have you ever wanted to experience a British Airways Club Suite - usually only available on long haul routes - to a European, short haul destination?
On a handful of flights to Frankfurt, Dublin and Berlin between now and the end of April, it looks like BA will be flying three of its widebody aircraft - Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 to these European destinations as they can carry much needed extra passengers and freight. BA flies Airbus A320s on these routes.
It is unusual for BA to use its widebody jets on short haul but has in the past used A380s on the key London to Frankfurt route.
According to the BA schedule, the following destinations and flights will be served by a widebody aircraft:
London Heathrow to Dublin
Boeing 777 with Club World
- March 5 - 1000 - BA834 (return at 1305)
- March 7 - 0825 - BA830 (return at 1120)
London Heathrow to Frankfurt
Boeing 787 with Club World or B777 with Club Suites (2 flights a day)
- February 18, 25
- March 4, 6, 7, 11, 16, 23, 24
- April 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 (x2), 14, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28
London Heathrow to Berlin
Boeing 777 with Club Suites
- March 4 - 1540 - BA986 (return at 2000)
- March 25 - 1540 - BA986 (return at 2000)
– Note: you must check the type of aircraft you are flying when booking and they are - of course - subject to change with no notice from BA -
If you seated in Business Class on one of these flights, you could experience Club World or even a Club Suite! The flight may be short but the most comfortable you could ever hope for.
