The British Airways Dreamliner will have 35 seats for customers in the new Club World triple configuration of 2:3:2; 25 seats in a World Traveller Plus layout of 2:3:2; and a further 154 seats for those travelling in World Traveller, with a 3:3:3 configuration.

On the British Airways A380 there will be 14 seats in First on the main deck, with extra personal and stowage space; the Club World cabin will feature 44 seats in a 2:4:2 configuration; and there will be 199 seats in World Traveller, with a 3:4:3 layout.

The A380 upper deck will feature 53 seats in the new Club World triple configuration of 2:3:2; 55 seats in a 2:3:2 World Traveller Plus layout; and World Traveller will have 104 seats in a 2:4:2 configuration.
Well I hope the “new” First will be more of a match for some of the world’s best premium cabins (they should look at CX new designs for a start)

Also I strongly disagree with the seating plans for WT on the 787, whose idea was it to have 9-abreast seats (in WT) in a cabin that is designed for 8-abreast in economy, this will mean it will be rather cramped to spend several hours in, also do they really need that many economy seats? (If they wanted a long-range plane that can seat 9-abreast in economy, why did they not get the Boeing 777-200LR?)

The oter seating plans are decent enough however...
