A first look at a revamp of British Airways’ A380 aircraft has unveiled a first class that emulates a “luxury hotel” in the sky, and the world’s largest business class cabin.

The multi-million-pound makeover of British Airways’ A380 jumbo jets, the world’s largest type of passenger aircraft, is thought to be one of the most extensive cabin refurbishment programmes ever undertaken by an airline.
