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 (World Traveller Plus) seats are wider, with greater recline, lumbar support, a head and foot rest, plus extra leg room to stretch out.

Extra amenities

Our stylish quilt and cushion adds an extra layer of comfort when it’s time to rest, and we’ll give you a special amenity kit designed with sustainability in mind. The bag is made using material from recycled plastic bottles and includes all the essentials - lip balm, an eye shade, pen, socks, toothbrush and toothpaste, with earplugs available on request.

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.

Delightful dining experience

Double baggage allowance

World Traveller Plus' generous and flexible baggage allowances lets you travel light, or pack as much as you need for a longer trip. You can take both a cabin bag, and a laptop or handbag on board, plus two bags with you on board; double the allowance for most economy services.

Some routes and tickets come with an even greater allowance, and extra bags can be added for a fee.
