First Look of British Airways A350-1000

British Airways have just received their first brand new Airbus A350-1000. Let’s take a look of the new cabin interiors. The BA A350 features new Club World Suite with direct aisle access and full door for privacy. It also features enhanced World Traveller Plus and World Traveller (Premium Economy and Economy).

The BA A350 arrival event was full of changes and surprises. The A350-1000 arrived a day late due to ATC issues and it landed on a different runway resulted some disappointment from the waiting aviation enthusiasts. Finally, she was showcased to the media on a sunny Monday afternoon.

The British Airways A350-1000 has a capacity of 331 passengers in three class layout including: 56 Club Suites, 56 World Traveller Plus and 219 World Traveller Economy seats.

Join me in this video from London Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom where I and a group of other av geeks take great pleasure in getting a first look at and welcoming in the brand new British Airways A350-1000 aeroplane! You won’t want to miss these exclusive first shots of the inside of the business, premium economy and economy cabin sections of this latest British Airways aircraft – everything looks so shiny and new and it’s just a real pleasure to be one of the first to step on board.

I was initially hoping to see the aeroplane on Friday 26th July 2019 but the heatwave that the south East of the UK experienced on the previous day caused serious problems at NATS (National Air Traffic Services, the main air navigation service provider in the UK) and these air traffic control issues prevented the British Airways A350-1000 plane, a ferry plane from Toulouse, from flying over and landing, as aircraft containing passengers had to be prioritised for safety.

I had to wait one more day to see the aeroplane for the first time, on 27th July, but it seems that luck was not on my side as, due to another aeroplane arriving five minutes late, the new A350 landed on another runway unexpectedly and so I wasn’t positioned underneath the plane on its approach but never mind – you can’t win them all!

The slight delay in seeing the aeroplane was more than made up for though on Monday 29th July, when I took the media bus to the hangar and finally got to see the new aeroplane up close and walk around inside. I and the other visitors are treated to an interesting and informative speech from Sajida Ismail, the head of inflight products, about the aeroplane which was three years in the planning.

The new British Airways A350 has a 331 seat capacity with 56 club suites (business class), 56 world traveller plus seats (premium economy) and 219 world traveller seats (economy). The club suites are laid out in a 1:2:1 configuration, permitting direct aisle access for these seats. The aeroplane also contains the “club world kitchen” which contains a lovely area for the chilled display of premium wines and champagnes and a buffet area.

British Airways are very enthusiastic about this new aeroplane and currently have 18 A350s on direct order. The plane features cleaner, filtrated air with 100% of the cabin air being renewed every two to three minutes. The design of the plane was inspired by the natural design of birds and is arguably now the world’s most modern, wide bodied air-craft – known as the “Hushliner” it is the quietest of any twin-aisle craft, featuring a 40% noise reduction and a 25% reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous models.

In early August, the aeroplane will take its inaugural flight from London Heathrow to Madrid and initial routes thereafter will fly to Dubai, Toronto Tel Aviv and Bangalore. There’ll be plenty on board to keep all those flyers comfortable and entertained with 16.7 million different ambient lighting variations available for flyers to choose from, HD screens for all passengers and USB and computer power sockets in every cabin.

I was so honoured to be invited by British Airways to see this brand new A350-1000 aeroplane for the first time. Let me know what you thought guys of the whole experience down in the comments section below and, as always, thanks for watching!
