BA Club Suite same as WestJet 787 Business?
So is the new WestJet business seat in their 787 the same as BA’s new club Suite? (Except the door)
Looks the the same to me.

It's definitely a Rockwell Collins Super Diamond, same as Club Suite is based on. Business Traveller has a handy list of all the carriers using this:
Find it on:
- Air China – You can see some pictures here, though we haven’t reviewed the seat yet
- British Airways – This is the seat chosen by British Airways for its new Club Suite, and it has been made “bespoke” by the addition of doors (the first time the Super Diamond has had doors attached, at least to our knowledge). Read about the launch here, our virtual reality experience of the seat here, or check out our Instagram video at @businesstravelleruk
- China Airlines – A350-900, read our review here
- Hainan – You can read about it in this piece – Hainan Airlines unveils new A330-300
- Hong Kong Airlines – If you want to see a great example of the Rockwell Collins Super Diamond seat, this is a good one First look: Hong Kong Airlines debuts new A350 business class seat
- Qatar Airways – A majority of Qatar’s seats on its A350 and 787 aircraft are the Super Diamond seat, though not its new QSuite (which we reviewed here) and which is also Rockwell Collins
- Westjet – Despite Westjet’s reputation as a Canadian budget carrier, its version is probably the best example of this seat. The cabin, designed by Priestmangoode, has only 16 of the seats laid out in the Super Diamond’s 1-2-1 configuration, with adjustable screens separating the two centre seats.

It’s well discussed as a customised version of the Collins Aerospace Super Diamond
