Aircraft code 32Q - BA885 OTP - LHR
I have just had an equipment change for a flight OTP-LHR. It was a 320 now it is 32Q. I can't find a 32Q in any equipment list... I have searched google and looked in Expert Flyer.

What is a 32Q?

It’s the new A321NEO. Currently one version in the fleet G-NEOR.

Cool! Thanks.

I was considering changing the flight as it also has a time change but I won't now.

I have added this to the BA glossary for future reference.

Was about to post the same question.

CE has no dividing tables, correct?

Not a fan of the Neo thus far. When it goes wrong (twice out of three flights for me) it seems not enough ground staff aren't trained in how to fix it.

Does that mean that there is just an empty seat in the middle then?

Exactly. Same on A32N too.

Just for clarification : the universal 'official' ICAO code for an A321-neo is "A21N", which is what you'll see on, for example, flightradar24.

I'm presuming "32Q" is BA-specific, designating a particular seating configuration.

A320neo
ICAO - A20N
IATA -32A

A321neo
ICAO - A21N
IATA - 32B

Internal BA codes are here in the thread kindly done by @Globaliser All the known internal codes for mainline aircraft
I think it just needs a quick update to add the A320neo and A321neo internal codes though.

Not so sure - the EI A321LR also shows as 32Q. Now bookable intra Europe DUB-CDG for later this year with long haul biz class ! (Which I will be booking).

Although there seems to be relatively little point, given that the BA internal codes (useful though they are/were to us) rarely surface in public now.

Cheers KARFA. However, this is really confusing as some airlines use 32B for the A321 (ceo) and 32A for A320 (ceo/sharklets).

Agreed. If I could see them myself I would have added them to the wiki in your thread, but as you say they aren't shown anymore on the MMB and seat map screen.

This is partially incorrect. For the NEO:

A319neo
ICAO: A19N
IATA: 31N

A320neo
ICAO: A20N
IATA: 32N

A321neo
ICAO: A21N
IATA: 32Q

IATA codes for the Sharklet A320ceos are 32D/32A/32B for A319/A320/A321 respectively.
