Amazing – office chairs made from old BA seats

Sit like an Executive (Club)

If you're an AV geek, then there's always something cool out there to buy that will bring the flying experience to your home. I still drink my coffee from a set of first-class mugs that I bought during Covid.

What's this all about?

A company called Jayyviation posted a TikTok showing how they turn old BA economy seats into office chairs. It was an interesting watch (see below) and a popular one with over 750 likes. It's not a quick or easy process.

In the video they say 30 of the chairs have been sold so far and shipped them across the globe. Unfortunately the BA economy office chair is currently marked as sold out. They do have premium economy seats available, alongside lots of other interesting plane memorabilia at a range of prices.

How much does the chair cost?

The economy seat is priced at £680. There's a Premium Economy seat available for £1,000, including the tray table that folds out from the arm. There's also a BA first-officers seat from a 747 for £3,000.
