British Airways has revealed its brand-new cabins set to launch soon and unveiled the next stage of its Heathrow lounge transformation. 

Passengers will be able to enjoy 'hotel-quality sleep at 35,000ft' and 'restaurant dining in the sky' under the airline's renovations on its retrofitted A380 planes in the coming months.

In what the UK flag carrier has dubbed 'one of the most extensive cabin refurbishment programmes ever undertaken by an airline', British Airways is launching a new First Suite and upgrading its World Traveller, World Traveller Plus and Club World.

First Suite is set to combine 'ultimate comfort and privacy with considered touches to create an elegant space for customers to relax and unwind'. 

Travellers will find themselves in a space specifically designed to 'evoke a modern luxury hotel feel' curated by designers and manufacturers from Great Britain and Ireland.

If jetting off with a partner in the centre seats, the divider can be removed to create a shared lounge and dining area together.

On the refreshed menu, there will be 'greater choice' and 'new dishes that reflect the best of British produce' available from October 1 on British Airways' entire long-haul fleet.

A brand new 'From the Grill' concept allows passengers to choose from a selection of premium meats like British roast rack of lamb, grilled salmon, sides and sauces.

To wash it all down, a bespoke minibar has been added to the new First seat.  

Meanwhile, passengers will also be treated to a bespoke unisex First amenity kit with a range of skincare products and an overnight mask 'all carefully curated to support hydration and rest at altitude'.

After a restaurant-quality meal in the sky and as the night draws in, crew members will prepare the First Suite with a luxury mattress, cotton duvet and comfortable pillow. 

As for World Traveller and World Traveller Plus holidaymakers, they will find larger entertainment screens, wider seats and upgraded bedding during their journey. 

Those travelling Plus will also be treated to a reusable amenity kit containing travel essentials.
