You are correct all 12 787-10’s on order are to be delivered in a 4 class configuration. BA have confirmed that the they will be fitted with 8 first seats, however the exact number of seats to be fitted in the other 3 cabins is as yet to be confirmed.
BA have decided to only fit the 787-10’s with a flight crew rest area but not a cabin crew rest area. This means that the aircraft will be limited to the length of flights it can operate. The aircraft will be able to fly as far west as Seattle and as far east as Delhi and Mumbai. Heard yesterday that the first 787-10 route is going to be Atlanta followed by Houston and Newark. Although this is yet to be officially confirmed.
