Basic is our lowest fare offered on selected routes. It comes with hand luggage, and an allocated seat; perfect for when you’re travelling light.

Standard is our fully inclusive economy fare. With checked baggage, and freedom to choose your own seat, it’s ideal for a longer trip.

Style upgrade and aircraft variation

The World Traveller experience is getting a make-over. We’re giving our aircraft cabins a stylish new interior and fitting our newest, most enhanced seating, which feature a six-way headrest with adjustable ears for added comfort and movable middle arm rests, which is particularly useful for customers travelling with children.

The new cabin will be rolled out across our fleet starting with the Boeing 777-200 fleet at Gatwick. And while a few cabin design elements may vary by aircraft, you can still expect the same top quality food, drink and warm service by our attentive crew wherever and whenever you fly World Traveller.
