BA PLUS ONE

BRITISH AIRWAYS HAS RELEASED IMAGES of the revamped B777 interiors that will serve the carrier’s routes from Gatwick and some routes from Heathrow from autumn 2019. The new seats follow the industry trend of having ten-across seating in economy class, as opposed to the current nine-across. The new World Traveller (economy) seating has larger IFE screens (ten inches compared to the current six inches) which feature “gesture control to navigate the interface like using a tablet”, six-way headrests with “adjustable ears”, and moveable middle arm rests. New World Traveller Plus (premium economy) seats have IFE screens of 12 inches (compared to the current six inches), as well as new leg and footrests, “an improved fully adjustable six-way headrest”, and “a table at the front and in-arm tray tables”. There are USB ports at every seat, and World Traveller Plus seats have sockets for UK, US and EU plugs. britishairways.com
