There's a photo of the missing row on Twitter already:

BA are technically doing the same thing by limiting their Club Europe cabin to 8 rows instead of 12 and 14 on the A320/A320neos and A321neos respectively.

On every Club Europe connection I’ve booked, I’ve been bumped down to Euro Traveller on the shorter flight at the time of booking. There's no such policy. What has happened is that you've been done over by one of BA's famous IT glitches. For some strange reason when booking a flight with a connecti...

At the moment there are no plans to refit the LGW frames with Club Suites.
Jump to postThe BA Club world seat is disliked mainly due to the fact it has been around for so long whereas the competition have consistently improved their product over time. There's also the issue of having to step over someone if you are in one of the window/middle seats and some also are not keen on facing...

Some interesting BA aircraft swaps on the LHR-JFK route tomorrow (Jan 19th). A350-1000 on BA175, and a Boeing 787-9 on BA115. Can assume its due to the 5G issue.
