2 versions · 6.0 to 9.1 out of 10 · 6 tracked routes
CabinScore has measured 2 physically different business-class cabins that British Airways flies on the 787-9, rated 6.0/10 to 9.1/10 — and booking sites sell every one of them as the same “Business” fare.
The Versions, Ranked
Top routes are the ones we most often observe each cabin flying, from the flight history we track, resolved to individual registrations; the percentage is how often a flight on that route is this cabin. They describe our tracked network, not British Airways's whole 787-9 fleet — and a version we haven't measured would not appear here at all.
How to Tell Which One You're Getting
