Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of British Airways World Traveller Plus, based on an eight hour flight from London to Mumbai on a Boeing 787. The review evaluates the premium economy experience by comparing it to standard economy and business class offerings. Key areas of assessment include the check in process, baggage allowances, seat comfort, and onboard service. The creator notes that while check in is separate and baggage allowances are increased, passengers do not receive fast track security or lounge access without specific status. The seat is described as having more leg room and width than economy, featuring a footrest and adjustable headrest, though window seats can be difficult to exit. Service is highlighted as a significant improvement, featuring proper glassware, china plates, and upgraded meal options, although the crew occasionally ran out of specific menu choices. The review concludes that while the product is a clear step up from standard economy in most categories, it does not approach the level of a business class product, particularly regarding seat recline.

Creator's Key Takeaways

whilst not perfect we think it does pretty much what it says on the tin

the premium economy seat as promised is significantly larger than economy with 38 in of leg room versus 31

the service is a significant step up from economy on our flight

it's certainly not a business class product most notably when it comes to the seat which is a long long way from being lie flat

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check-in is separate from standard economy with no queue and helpful staff
Priority boarding is group three, boarding relatively quickly
Pre-book seats ahead of check-in window opening comes with a fee unless you have status of bronze or higher
