Flying World Traveller Plus is an exciting upgrade. With fewer rows, the cabin is quieter, more spacious, and more exclusive than World Traveller.

What to look forward to

An upgraded seat

Our premium economy seats are wider, with greater recline, lumbar support, a head and foot rest, plus extra leg room to stretch out.

Extra amenities

Our soft quilt and cushion adds an extra layer of comfort when it’s time to rest, and we’ll give you a special amenity kit with socks, an eye mask, and a toothbrush. No need to bring them in your hand baggage.

Lots to watch

Enjoy your own personal entertainment system, with noise-cancelling headphones. Each seat also has its own power supply, so you can use your devices on board. A few of our aircrafts might need you to bring your own adaptor if they aren’t sold on board. Check our guide to personal power supplies onboard.
