Frequently asked
Where are the best Economy seats on the British Airways A380?
The small Economy cabin at the rear of the upper deck is the pick — quieter, with window-side storage bins and far fewer rows than the main deck. Window seats up there are the calmest on the aircraft.
Is upper-deck or main-deck Club World better on the BA A380?
The upper deck is the quieter of the two Club World cabins, with side bins at the window seats. The main-deck cabin is larger and busier. Either way, a window seat gives the most privacy.
Does the BA A380 have Premium Economy?
Yes — World Traveller Plus, on the upper deck between Club World and the upstairs Economy cabin. The bulkhead row gives the most legroom.
