British Airways will upgrade its daily London-Singapore service to an Airbus A380 in March 2024, reflecting continued optimism in the recovery of travel.
The Oneworld airline’s timetable now shows its popular BA15/BA16 flights will switch to a daily superjumbo as of March 31, delivering a dramatic boost in capacity from the 299 seats of the Boeing 777-300ER to the 469-seat A380 – a boost which will also see business class capacity doubled from 56 to 97 seats.
However, it will also be a downgrade for business class flyers, with the BA 777 sporting the airline’a modern Club Suites but the A380 still burdened by the crowded Club World seats on the 131/2 route.
As previously reported, British Airways has committed to refurbishing its A380s with not only those vastly-improved Club Suites but an all-new first class suites.
- BA11 departs London Heathrow T5 at 7.30am to reach Singapore at 4.50pm the following day
- BA12 soars out of Singapore’s Changi T1 at 11.20pm to land back in London at 6.15am one day later
The London-Singapore-Sydney ‘Kangaroo Route’ service of BA15/BA16 will also switch from the current Boeing 787 to a Boeing 777 in late October 2023, putting Club Suites back on the route, until the Dreamliner’s return on March 31.
