The revamp will see premium travellers, including First customers and Gold Executive Club members, benefit from over 220 new pieces of furniture, new carpets, re-finished wooden floors and the provision of numerous additional power outlets from which to charge their phones, laptops and tablet devices. The new furniture will include stylish high-backed chairs, tables, dining furniture and comfortable sofas.
British Airways’ Director of Customer Experience, Troy Warfield, said: “Our First customers and Gold Executive Club members are used to the very best service and surroundings, both in the air and on the ground.
“The refurbishment of our First lounge at Terminal 5 will ensure they can continue to enjoy fine cuisine, outstanding wines and champagnes and relax in comfort before flying in style to destinations around the world.”
In addition, British Airways has recently introduced its brand new First cabin on its new fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The new exclusive cabin features just eight suites, designed with extra storage space, more comfortable seating, adjustable mood lighting and a larger 23 inch in-flight TV screen.
