Key facts

Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner — 2-3-2 · 14 of 18 aircraft
Still the large majority of the 787-9 fleet — 42 seats in a 2-3-2 yin-yang layout. Window seats face backwards but have direct aisle access; the middle seat in each row is the one to avoid.
Airbus A380-800 — 2-4-2 (lower), 2-3-2 (upper) · Fleet-wide — retrofit starts mid-2026
Upper deck Club World is the only acceptable option — 2-3-2 layout means just one middle seat. Avoid lower deck unless you can't find an upper deck seat. The retrofit moves all 110 Club Suites to the upper deck in 1-2-1 and adds a new First cabin, but no A380 is flying with it yet.
Boeing 777-200ER — 2-4-2 · 12 remaining, mostly at Gatwick
Avoid the middle four seats per row at all costs. Window forward-facing seats are the only ones worth pre-selecting.

Legacy Club World flies on the following British Airways aircraft types: 787-9, A380, 777-200ER.

British Airways Legacy Club World is in a 2-3-2 or 2-4-2 (lower), 2-3-2 (upper) or 2-4-2 layout.
