Fit for a king, or queen
The "throne " seat on the Aer Lingus A321LR.
Up front in business class, there's a further upgrade with the 16 business class seating arrangement. With alternating rows of ones and twos, row 3 & 5 feature a single seat either side of the aisle, known as the throne seat, you can rest your weary arms either side of the lie flat seat, with buckets of storage space.
Feel like a king or queen.
This is something very special, all alone in the upper deck of the world traveller class cabin of a British Airways A380, cruising along at 39,000 feet on the way to Madrid, with the cabin all to myself.
This is the upper deck of the BA 380, the 2nd deck from the back in World Traveller configuration.
We live in strange & frightening times, but there's always opportunities to do things a little differently.
Special thanks to Sophie & Marie ,BA cabin crew for taking great care of me that day, a full tour of the upper deck cabin enroute to Madrid, what an experience.
British Airways have been begun operating their A380's again since grounding during the Covid-19 pandemic, using them on daily trips to Madrid & Frankfurt, a real treat for enthusiasts during November/ December 2021.
Great to see the A380 back again #WelcomeBack
