I’m looking at a Qantas Classic Reward that appears in the Business Class search results for British Airways flight BA15 from London Heathrow to Sydney via Singapore,. The flight details show a Boeing 787-9, but the in-flight amenities describe the seat as a “cradle recliner (97 cm)”.

That sounds more like a premium economy seat than BA’s Club World lie-flat Business seat. I can’t see a clear confirmation in the Qantas booking flow that both London–Singapore and Singapore–Sydney are ticketed in Business before committing my points.

Has anyone encountered this exact seat description on a BA15 Business Classic Reward? Was it just incorrect amenities information on the Qantas site, or did it indicate that one or both sectors were actually in a lower cabin? Is there a reliable way to confirm the cabin for each sector before booking?

I’d appreciate any first-hand experience or advice on where to find the sector-by-sector cabin details. I can add redacted screenshots if helpful.
 
Welcome to AFF @IMFlying . I can extract the exact seat specs from Aerolopa if you can give me the date of your intended flights. I did random dates in November and February and it tells me its a B777-300ER.
Wow thanks. British Airways flight BA15 from London Heathrow to Sydney via Singapore, departing 7 June 2027 and arriving 9 June 2027.
