Maybe they're going to remove a couple of seats or so from the CW cabin upstairs, dunno.
They might need to do it.... I know these are draft plans and may be inaccurate, but I count:
- 2 WCs for F
- 4 for M CW (possibly shared with M WT)
- 2 for U CW
- 2 for WT+ (possibly shared with U WT)
- 2 for WT
Working on the seat counts provided and assuming that the "shared" toilets above split the WCs across the two cabins, the ratios work out to be:
- F: 7 pax : 1 WC
- CW: 26.5 : 1 UD, 22 : 1 MD; 24.25 : 1 overall
- WT+: 55 : 1
- WT: 34.67 : 1 UD, 49.75 : 1 MD; 43.29 : 1 overall
To put that in perspective against QF's new A380 config, for Economy, it's almost the same - QF UD Y does slightly better than BA UD Y (which of course the former benefits from having a much smaller "cabin" of 30 vs 104 pax), and in the MD QF and BA are pretty much on par, except on BA on the MD you might get some uppity-ness from CW and Y pax tussling over whether they should be sharing WCs or not. As for Business, BA does worse than QF. Finally for Premium Economy, 55 pax in a cabin doesn't really sound as exclusive... and that said there's going to be some competition between them and the Y cabin behind them to use their WCs.
I hope they have directional air vents on their new aircraft!
I'm also curious to see what BA have in store in terms of an "evolved" CW. The main problem, naturally, is that there aren't a lot of seats where one can sit and either not bother
or be bothered in order for a pax to get to the aisle.
