The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet manufactured known as the world's
largest commercial passenger aircraft. Despite the size, the A380 delivers lower community noise and
carbon emissions per passenger than the Boeing 747-400 despite having almost 50% more floor
space and 60% more headroom.
Carbon fibre, a strong and light material, is used on key parts of the A380. Roughly 25% of the plane's
overall structure is made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic.
British Airways’ A380 has a total of 469 seats over two decks with four cabins:
• First – 14 seats
• Club World (business class) – 97 seats
• World Traveller Plus (premium economy) – 55 seats
• World Traveller (economy) – 303 seats
The First suites aboard the A380 offer customers a stylish and intimate experience with tailored,
personalised service from a dedicated team of cabin crew. Each seat converts into a fully-flaf 6ft 6"
bed, offers a 15.4 inch inflight entertainment screen, USB/AC power and plenty of storage space.
Each seat offers direct aisle access.
The Club World cabin is split across the main deck (2-4-2 configuration) and the upper deck (2-3-2
configuration).
Each seat converts into a 6ft fully flat bed with an adjusable footstool available for additional comfort,
a 12.1 inch inflight entertainment screen, USB/AC power at every seat and plenty of storage space.
Customers travelling in a Club World window seat on the Upper Deck of the A380 can benefit from
additional stowage bins which run the length of the aircraft, or additional interior storage within the
rear-facing seat.
The World Traveller Plus cabin aboard the A380 is exclusively located on the upper deck and offers
customers 20% more legroom than World Traveller, with a footrest, increased recline position,
hammock headrest and cocktail table. Each seat features a personal inflight entertainment screen and
power at every seat. Customers located by the window benefit from additional stowage bins which run
1/2
the length of the aircraft.
World Traveller: 303 seats (199 on main deck and 104 on upper deck)
The Airbus A380 features two World Traveller cabins, located on the main and upper decks of the
aircraft. Each ergonomically-designed seat maximises comfort and space and features an 8.9 inch

the aircraft.
