Quite often travelling to your destination is uncomfortable and stressful. Expensive and tiring, your journey is a means to an end and is endured for the sake of your trip away. However, this idea has been challenged by blue sky giants BA and their impressive World Traveller Plus travel service.
First class and business class are a luxury that many cannot afford or see as an unnecessary extravagance, but some travellers still wish to experience a little more comfort during their journey. World Traveller Plus has filled this gap in the market, providing comfortable travel for those with a smaller budget. Our experience of this class of travel was on our journey from London Heathrow to Tokyo. Enticed by the accessible price, we were eager to see the difference in comfort and service.
The difference was clear from the moment we arrived at Terminal 5. After a simple check in and having taken advantage of our increased baggage allowance we were invited into the BA lounge. Spacious, quiet and peaceful, the lounge was a haven of comfortable sofas and fresh, complementary food and drink.
Once we had boarded our flight we were ushered into the World Traveller Plus dedicated cabin. With very few rows and increased leg space, the spacious cabin allowed for increased comfort during our journey. The large width of the chairs also allowed for increased comfort during our 12 hour flight.
“World Traveller Plus provides impressive service and comfort for only a small increase in price.”
World traveller Plus also includes complementary bar service, provision of juices and hot drinks, snacks and meals. The three course meal served during our journey was presented on a plate with stylish cutlery; a welcomed alternative to the usual plastic cutlery and container from the economy flights. Our choice of menu also came from the business class Club World menu and was designed by leading chefs.
The World Traveller Plus flights also include impressive entertainment facilities. The seats are fitted with personal screens and headphones so we were able to enjoy a choice of hundreds of programmes and films, as well as a choice of audio books and music.
For those unable or unwilling to endure the expense of first class or business class travel, World Traveller Plus provides impressive service and comfort for only a small increase in price. It is an experience that is well worth the negligible extra expense.
