Therefore it’s going to probably be 2023 before Club Suite starts becoming more common. By that time all 777s will have been done, Boeing’s 787 delivery embargo hopefully would’ve been lifted meaning at least 4 - 5 more 787-10s will be in the fleet (in addition to the 2 currently) as well as nearing the completion of BA’s A350 order, this would only leave behind the 787-8 and 787-9s as well as A380s without Club Suite amongst BA’s long-haul fleet. BA haven’t announced any new/updated projections for when (or if) the older Dreamliners and A380s will be retrofitted.
But 2023 onwards, the chances of Club Suite will be a lot higher than now
