I flew on British Airways' Club Suite from New York to London. It's a huge improvement from the carrier's old and cramped business class seat.

British Airways unveiled its "Club Suite" business-class cabin in March 2019 as part of a nearly $9 billion investment in the customer experience.
The product first deployed on British Airways' Airbus A350-1000 planes starting in mid-2019 and quickly earned props for its improvement in space and privacy compared to the old business-class layout.
While the company's Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9, and Airbus A380 planes still sport the dated cabin, British Airways has so far fit its Boeing 787-10s and most of its Boeing 777s with the Club Suite as it rolls out the new configuration across its fleet.
And all Heathrow-based long-haul aircraft will be retrofitted with the Club Suite by the end of 2026, the carrier said during the IAG Capital Markets Day late last year. IAG is the parent company of British Airways.
Curious if it lived up to the hype, I flew from London to New York in the improved cabin on a British Airways' Boeing 777-200ER earlier this month, and I think it's an overall great transatlantic-travel option.
