- British Airways have just received their first brand new Airbus A350-1000. Let’s take a look of the new cabin interiors. The BA A350 features new Club World Suite with direct aisle access and full door for privacy. It also features enhanced World Traveller Plus and World Traveller (Premium Economy and Economy).
The BA A350 arrival event was full of changes and surprises. The A350-1000 arrived a day late due to ATC issues and it landed on a different runway resulted some disappointment from the waiting aviation enthusiasts. Finally, she was showcased to the media on a sunny Monday afternoon.
The British Airways A350-1000 has a capacity of 331 passengers in three class layout including: 56 Club Suites, 56 World Traveller Plus and 219 World Traveller Economy seats.

-----
Join me in this video from London Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom where I and a group of other av geeks take great pleasure in getting a first look at and welcoming in the brand new British Airways A350-1000 aeroplane! You won’t want to miss these exclusive first shots of the inside of the business, premium economy and economy cabin sections of this latest British Airways aircraft - everything looks so shiny and new and it’s just a real pleasure to be one of the first to step on board.
I was initially hoping to see the aeroplane on Friday 26th July 2019 but the heatwave that the south East of the UK experienced on the previous day caused serious problems at NATS (National Air Traffic Services, the main air navigation service provider in the UK) and these air traffic control issues prevented the British Airways A350-1000 plane, a ferry plane from Toulouse, from flying over and landing, as aircraft containing passengers had to be prioritised for safety.
I had to wait one more day to see the aeroplane for the first time, on 27th July, but it seems that luck was not on my side as, due to another aeroplane arriving five minutes late, the new A350 landed on another runway unexpectedly and so I wasn’t positioned underneath the plane on its approach but never mind - you can’t win them all!
The slight delay in seeing the aeroplane was more than made up for though on Monday 29th July, when I took the media bus to the hangar and finally got to see the new aeroplane up close and walk around inside. I and the other visitors are treated to an interesting and informative speech from Sajida Ismail, the head of inflight products, about the aeroplane which was three years in the planning.
The new British Airways A350 has a 331 seat capacity with 56 club suites (business class), 56 world traveller plus seats (premium economy) and 219 world traveller seats (economy). The club suites are laid out in a 1:2:1 configuration, permitting direct aisle access for these seats. The aeroplane also contains the “club world kitchen” which contains a lovely area for the chilled display of premium wines and champagnes and a buffet area.
British Airways are very enthusiastic about this new aeroplane and currently have 18 A350s on direct order. The plane features cleaner, filtrated air with 100% of the cabin air being renewed every two to three minutes. The design of the plane was inspired by the natural design of birds and is arguably now the world’s most modern, wide bodied air-craft - known as the “Hushliner” it is the quietest of any twin-aisle craft, featuring a 40% noise reduction and a 25% reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous models.
In early August, the aeroplane will take its inaugural flight from London Heathrow to Madrid and initial routes thereafter will fly to Dubai, Toronto Tel Aviv and Bangalore. There’ll be plenty on board to keep all those flyers comfortable and entertained with 16.7 million different ambient lighting variations available for flyers to choose from, HD screens for all passengers and USB and computer power sockets in every cabin.
I was so honoured to be invited by British Airways to see this brand new A350-1000 aeroplane for the first time. Let me know what you thought guys of the whole experience down in the comments section below and, as always, thanks for watching!
Beautiful airplane ! It was nice to meet you Sam at Heathrow
Oh was that u Hi !
I must say, not only does the new club suite look amazing, but actually the economy and premium economy look really smart and comfortable! Well done BA.
Agreed. BA really knocked it out of the ballpark with this.
@Blue Shorts TV BC?
That plane is also coming to Air Koryo’s fleet, we will make it even better
I swear i see you all the time in swiss001 videos

The A350 is such a sexy plane especially with the British Airways Livery
One bad thing about it is..............
It’s not a Boeing!!!!!!!
@@sneakysgladesaspensnowmass9664 So?
@@sneakysgladesaspensnowmass9664 prefer Airbus anyway
@@sneakysgladesaspensnowmass9664 Boeing is trash,
I 100% agree with you, this is one sexy airplane
Love the decor in club world, very soothing wood tones, textures and colours. Beautifully understated.
So proud of British Airways!!! One of my favourite airlines
Kiki The Jack Russel same! Improved greatly after Virgin sued BA for poaching customers. They had to pull their socks up.
With the A380 ending its run, the A350-1000 is the perfect plane to take its place.
Transporting half or even up to a third of the people but sure.
@Ross Yeah, probably. Still a shame it's going away.
777-9 is better.
@@burtmacklin3215 the only winning side from b777x is their capacity ... a350 still have better weight,range, efficiency and fuel efficiency
@@burtmacklin3215 and late
Wow this is absolutely great. Finally you got to see the brand new Airbus A350-1000. 😁✈️
Fantastic, as always. And the A350-1000 became one of my favourite aircrafts.👍
This interior looks amazing ! You are very lucky that you got to see this Sam !
You inspire me so much!!! Love you and what you do!!
Peace and blessings!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Airbus just does it right from start to finish. The A350-1000 is a gorgeous aircraft. Spot on and Cheers BA!
This is ultimate beauty. Absolutely gorgeous livery.
The A 350 is a beautiful plane. Love your work brother. Continue to inspire the world to follow your passion. Let us continue to inspire the world to travel and see the world.
It's just another boring twin-engined aircraft. If you are not in aviation, you probably won't see any difference between A350 and B787. B747 is beautiful, unique and classy
@@bartomiejrys1517 That's true: 747= Icon.
but, hey, I won't exactly call the other ones boring. They are the future, just like the Queen of the skies was back in 1969.
@@clevergirl4457 Yes, but there is not much interesting features in this plane. 747 was all the way revolutionary, a350 is not
Sanhinda Peiris true. At least A350 isn’t as boring as that crammed up lame 777
Bartłomiej Ryś 747 will always be the Queen of the Skies
A Gorgeous Plane and finally new cabin products♥️ A350-1000🤩
That wingtip and the proportions of the A350-1000, the most aesthetically pleasing thing in aviation since the Spitfire. I would love to see both flying in formation!
I have always had a great feeling that BA would catch up and be the 'worlds favourite airline'. It now truly is again. This is why I want to become a British Airways pilot in the future. It's a good thing that BA paid for my flying experience day and that I went to their pilot workshop. Hopefully I will be able to further increase my chances of working for the airline in the future. While my friends said that BA was rubbish when compared to their dream airlines (such as Qatar), I always knew that BA will improve one day. Here it is. That 'one day' came closer than I thought. This is the airline that the world will be proud (or jealous) of. Thanks for creating this video. BA is investing £6.5 billion and this is only the beginning of a transformation that was last done around 20 years ago.
this feels so special to me because i was at Toulouse on vaction and i saw this airplane rolling out of the factory such a beatifull moment
Wow! Seems like the seats have great design! Can’t wait to see your video of flying on this BA A350!
British Airways is a fantastic airline !
British Airways is my favorite airline! And Heathrow is my favorite airport! I cannot wait to fly this plane! I also cant wait to see the video from heathrow to Madrid!
11/10 airplane! It looks soo hot btw nice video
Nice vid as always Sam. Still my fav aviation youtuber. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
So awesome!! I love your excitement and smile during the tour 😊
She’s a beauty, great showcase Sam! ❤️
Keep up great work Sam - helps me with my travel plans - big fan :)
A350 XWB Handsome Plane in the world !!!! Congratulations British Airways...
I ❤ Airbus.
your cam crew has the best job!!!!
something about these cabin crews coming down the flight of stairs makes me smile inside and out. Its a proud moment for BA! Wish to take it one day from YYZ TO LHR!
Is this the first ever time Sam chui does something British airways?! This shows that maybe finally British airways is keeping up with competition!
Yup
I doubt BA is keeping up. EasyJet has already toppled them as the UK's #1 airline even though THEIR customer service doesn't seem anywhere as great...
Beautiful plane. A great improvement for ba. Looking forward for the lhr-Madrid Adolfo suarez August 5th flight review.
thanks for sharing - we enjoyed watching x
Love the A350! Sam, I think the filming and editing of your videos is improving vastly! Really enjoyed this video.
Ba has had the world’s worst business class configuration for decades - 8 across seating and horrible aisle access. This looks like a massive improvement. Long time coming.
They starting 777-200 refurbishment. The whole project will be completed in 2022.
Never flying BA had bad experiences with them with luggage and food, plus their tickets are also pricy not worth it
Dave North laughs in emirates. But atleast the a380 from emirates has 1-2-1
Dave North upper deck of the 747 with BA is nice though
@@jayd1426 Agreed, but it'll be able to compete on a level playing field now with Lufthansa once this new seat is rolled out.
Sam keep up the good work buddy... I wish I could travel around the world like you do... I do enjoy your videos a lot... flying is also my passion
And be an incel like him? Great fly around the world all alone all the time.
Wow congrats for the new A350 of british airways
Soo beautiful
I've already watch in making the A350-1000 British airways very nicely done.
Love your chanel👌🏻👍🏼
Aviation is a bag full of luck :) But the air is full of aircraft enthusiasm! Congrats to British Airways to its wonderful A350-1000!! WOW!! Outstanding report Sam!! Huge like from me :) Cheers Matt
Love watching your CZcams channel keep up the excellent work thanks.
I saw you in the BA trailer, and I was excited to see your video.
Sam I really love watching your videos! ❤️❤️
Thank you!

@@Amitgakhar63 and I'll be first in line for a ticket! Lol
Watch Gette-Set I love you too

The A350 is such a nice plane. My dream is to fly on it one day.
My dream is to fly it
Wow...That is an awesome looking aircraft especially with BA Livery. Magnifique.
wow!!! no words 10000000likes
both video and this beautiful bird
BA finally changed their sitting configurations and design to a quite good one! Good move to change it on the A350
Lion Lim the best configuration remains the 2-4-2 because every 2 passengers has aisle acces. But 3-3-3 is a lot better than the classic crampy 3-4-3.
@@hodb3906 3-4-3? Not implying you said it that way but there's no A350 with that abreast configuration. Yes obviously B777's sometimes have that, but to put that in an A350 comment is weird lol

love this new quality to your videos sam, like the editing etc. makes it more interestings, flows well and makes me fee like im watching a real cool tv show.
This looks beautiful. I'm planning to fly on this on a trip to Japan with my friends after A levels.
Saw you getting interviewed on I think the British airways channel. Can’t wait to fly it!
Sam I saw you in British Airways’s trailer on their you tube video and I couldn’t wait for your vid. Thanks sam
I know, I was happy to comment for BA.
Can you send me the link pls
J. Luo sure

J. Luo go to 1:27 in that video to see Sam
Looking forward to your first flight...Happy journey
Great to see that BA have now a real Business Class!
wow super
Apparently the 1000 version can do an emergency descent, completely unaided, if the pilots don't respond to an alert to make sure they are conscious (such as during loss of pressure); it even notifies the closest ATC about it automatically. It's crazy how advanced these planes are getting.
Love the A350! Thank you for the video.
Excited to know more. Now following👍
I’ve always wanted to go in business class or first class. I love watching ur vids
xxraahemxx get the right credit cards, buy everything on them, pay them off on time, and you’ll be able to do it for free.
Which ones would U recommend
Midwest Mopars which ones would u recommend
Try the amex gold or platinum. The points you get are well worth the annual fee. refer.amex.us/KOLAWSTBoi?XLINK=MSNR
Chase sapphire preferred is also a good option. Let me know if you need a referral link kolajr@hotmail.com
adam smith 😂 i want to be a good person like sam
So basically Club Suite is the new first class, World Traveller Plus is the new discount business class, and economy is just, well, economy!
Going the same was as Qatar and many airlines who are starting to realise first class ain’t worth it
@@rosspalmer6849 , competition is so fierce on major international routes that airlines have upped the game far too much in business class, making first class more or less redundant and poor value. Hence, my original comment.
No British Airways eill not be dropping First class on their other planes according to its CEO they will improve the soft product and likely will introduce a new First by next year ✌
Going to fly on a Cathay Pacific one in a month, can't believe my luck that my employer chose this flight! So excited ☺️
Thanks for showing us this beauty!
What a beautiful plane. Love the windows at the front!
Ohh wow
The old days 747 got topnotcher
And now a350 1000 is a big upgrade from a340 and others nice 1 Sam
747 will always be my favourite, no matter what they have in the cabin. It is a timeless classic!
Sam Chui me too. The 747 is very dear to me
Hey Sam
I want to fly on the AirBus A350 in general I am not a Airbus fan but after flying on a A350 900 this year I liked it and was totally refreshed
mentour pilot, sam, jeb brooks, DennisBunnik, all have the A350 as their favourite aircraft to fly on
I could be wrong, but i think I'm gonna fly with it this sunday
The A350 900 is nice unlike the A320,A330 you don't feel the thrust or bumps on takeoff and landing
beautiful aircraft and great video
Awesome Sam A350 1000 is an amazing jet loved the video great jod on editing thanks for sharing
A38O will always be the king of the sky !! Especially the one from Dubai to SFO Emirates Business class.
Karthik Raman A380 is an ugly bus on Wings
@@jayd1426 I dunno, it's pretty graceful for transporting 800 people
LMAO!!!!
Emirates will always be first class BA could never match the service from in flight staff or the seating and the fare is cheaper. BA are greedy
@@jayd1426 but A380 first class is amazing on Emirates I love it it's so comfortable I love flying first class and business
I am about to fly from Manila to NYC on the Philippine Airlines A530 BUSINESS CLASS
Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports you mean A350? ;)
Enjoy
UK government good work. Keep it up
Nice, and a big congratulations to British Airways for purchasing the best aircraft in the sky. Great video Sam and looking forward to seeing your first flight on August 5th.
And just a few days ago I was in Heathrow would have been mad to see you 🔥🔥
That’s a really nice aircraft inside and out, majestic. Rule Britannia
Great video!
Irritating that I got the wrong runway though, Thankyou China!
well Maffyou, ruined everything jk
@@MajorLazer182 It was going well until the last few minutes! :P
Classic, this happened a lot during plane spotting. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes just not going right.
I love these planes ✈️ and also the brand new A321-251nx those are my favourite planes ✈️
Thanks for taking a photo of the A350 sam! You made my new wallpaper
Is it me or the economy seats looks very small..? "easyjet" seats.🤔
Looks tight.. honestly why use BA, overpriced, overrated
Can you try SAS business? Stockholm- los angeles
Love your videos
Gorgeous cabin design. The dark navy is so sleek and classy.
Head of inflight product: Hi Sam how are you?

i still wonder , how to get permission to see every e.th in airplane,n take a video to post in youtube.
It's great to have a look inside of this new airplane, Thanks Sam!

Awesome video @Sam Chui to be the first passenger on the BA A 350/1000 Must be an honour
hi sam your the best
Where will this a350 serve as a destination if it is ba100 🤔🤔🤔
Aymen Boua Toronto
connor bradshaw that’s Air France. BAs will be used on routes to Bangalore and more
First on crew familiarisation flights to madrid
@Aymen_Boua BA 100 isn't it's flight number that's the branding for the fact it's British Airways 100th year of operations( through its many different iterations over the years).
@connor_bradshaw & i_AniMateS you're both wrong & both right at the same time lol
It's first flight will be training / work up flights once a day LHR-MAD starting 5th August on FN's 464/ 465 ( the flight that @Sam_Chui will be on) and on Thursday, Saturday & Sunday it will be 456/457 with the exception of 13th August when no flights are scheduled ( it's presumed but unconfirmed they will use this day for the engineering teams to do a top-to-toe check on how the plane is doing). That will continue until 30th August, when she will have another maintenance/ systems check, then her initial scheduling pattern will be as follows....
..
2 September 2019 Dubai on BA107/106
1 October 2019 Toronto on BA92/93
1 December 2019 Tel Aviv on BA163/162
1 January 2020 Bangalore on BA119/118
1 March 2020 Dubai on BA107/106 & BA105/104
She will basically service each route for a month not just fly on those specific days each month lol. Obviously as more of the planes arrive ( they have 18 on firm order/ in production) they will work out where is best to deploy. Obviously LHR-JFK is a strong contender as it's a flagship/ premium route. It was left off the initial runs specifically so they could show her off to other parts of the world. There's also so tactical moves involved in trying to one-up their main UK competitor VA on some of the routes announced.
First long haul flight is Dubai in sept
OMG WHAT IS THIS MADNESS? BA FINALLY WITH A DECENT BUSINESS CLASS PRODUCT
Right?!! LOL
Very nice product from BA. A fan from Malaysia
Glad they got rid of the terrible 2-3-2 787 business class!
It’s the same on all their aircraft. 2-4-2 on the other aircraft, that’s equal to premium economy 😂
It’s just a shame that what Sam fails to
Show is his rude Videographer shouting “stop!” At people on a media event who have been waiting for 10 minutes to get around them to get content for their readers, the fact all the scenes are recorded a number of times and everything is staged. Such a shame.
what do you mean?
Read it and it’s fairly understandable. His Videographer (the person who films Sam) is so rude it is unreal. I was on the event he was on and as much as Sam himself was fairly respectable his camera man was extremely rude
Aero__X is where is his camera man from? China also?
Chatta290 I don’t believe Sam is from China? His heritage is but if I’m correct he is Australian by birth. Could be wrong though. His cameraman is definitely not Chinese. He looks more Middle Eastern tbh
Aero__X interesting, Middle Eastern folk can be very rude sometimes. It’s a shame that he acts in such a way, just because Sam has a following should not allow for such behaviour, quite the opposite.
Excellent presentation, Sam Chui ! Hats off to you ( and (the) British Airways (staff) ) !! 👏👏👏
BA Vectra seat is amazing had pleasure developing these and manufacturing these
Man, BA flight attendants are mostly grandma. Completely opposite from Asia.
Lol. British and American flight attendants tend to have a wide age range compared to Middle East/Asian carriers
Good man, looking forward for your next videos.
I was waiting for this for so long
What a most beautiful plane
Damn Sam, you’re videos are so comforting! Thank you so much for transporting this special atmosphere
Great video Sam, and I love the look of the A350-1000
5th of August? What a coincidence! That’s my birthday! Anyways, nice video and outstanding quality as always Sam. Thanks for sharing this experience!
Big Love from Germany 🇮🇳🇩🇪
