  British Airways took delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 two weeks ago and will put it into service on the London-Delhi route on Oct. 25. Last week the aircraft was used on the London-Austin revenue service for proving flights (BA190 and BA191).  While its 787-8 has three classes (economy, premium and business), BA has utilized the additional 20ft on its 787-9s to add a First cabin at the front of the aircraft.  

  I was invited to test the new First product – in seat 2K - during the 10-hour flight from London Heathrow to Austin.
