This cabin, located at the front of the main deck, is equipped with fourteen First suites. As BA's largest aircraft it also features the largest suite, measured in raw square footage offering 30% more personal space and 60% more storage space than the equivalent Boeing 777 suites. The seat is similar in width and length to other suites but benefits from more generous peripheral space as well as full size personal locker, large enough to stow a max IATA size cabin case as well as coats etc.
