British Airways A380 Business Class Best Seats & Reviews
The one people open most is our British Airways A380-800 business class review from London to Los Angeles. It walks the upper and lower deck layout and points out which seats work best, including the quieter upper-deck window pairs and where couples should and should not sit given the yin-yang footwell arrangement. If you are trying to pick a seat on the BA A380, that is the write-up built around exactly that problem.
We have only flown three British Airways cabins, and rather than pretend otherwise, we wrote each one up in full: the A380-800 business class above, the Boeing 787-9 Club World from London to Los Angeles, and the older 747-400 First Class from London to Las Vegas. Three flights, but each is a cabin we actually sat in for a full long-haul, with our own photos, seat-by-seat notes, the food, and a straight verdict on whether the seat you are eyeing is the right one to book.

Review: British Airways (A380-800) Business Class from London to Los Angeles
Read ArticleFrequently asked questions
Which are the best seats in British Airways A380 business class?
For the BA A380 the upper deck is the one to choose. Our London to Los Angeles review found the upper-deck window seats the best all-round pick, with large storage bins beside them and more privacy than the lower deck. The trade-off is that a window passenger has to step over a neighbour to reach the aisle, so if aisle access matters more than the view, a seat next to the aisle in the alternating layout suits you better.
Where should couples sit in British Airways A380 business class?
Couples flying BA A380 business class should look at the paired seats created by the alternating (yin-yang) footwell layout, where two seats sit close together rather than staggered apart. Our A380 review points out which pairs put you side by side and which leave you separated by a console, since the cabin is not symmetrical. Booking the upper deck again helps, as it is quieter and the window pairs feel the most private.
