Q's about BA's "World Traveler Plus"
I'm thinking of paying for World Traveler Plus seats on a direct
flight from LAX to LHR, both for the extra comfort and so I can get the triple air miles. A few questions: Is the upgrade worth the extra $$$? Is the extra room enough to make a long-legged person comfortable? (I'm a six-footer, and it's all leg...) Right now, with taxes, the flight I want, in that class, is just under $1,000. Is that a good price, or should I hold out and hope the price drops? My trip isn't until late November. Thanks in advance... |

How much is the price difference for your flights? Are you willing to spend this much for that much more space? |

Q's about BA's "World Traveler Plus"
World Traveller Plus does give both extra legroom [sufficient for a 6
footer] and the perception of extra width plus some IFE goodies and a decent legrest. I'm not sure that it's worth the extra that BA sometimes try to charge but the triple miles would help. With the armrest design, having an empty seat next to you would not help as the Premium seat armrest is fixed - so if the aircraft was fairly empty in economy you would be able to sleep horizontal by lifting the armrest.

I'd go on AA. BA's WT+ ain't that good but is only good because WT is unimaginably horrible. I am not sure about that. WT+ in a mid position b/n regular economy and business. The seat is certain much nicer and has the space and equipment eg. In-flight power socket, for work. I can't imagine how AA (a N American airline) can be competitive with BA's offering. |

Thanks in advance... I just checked out the BA website. If you book it at www.ba.com it's about $900. I've found it very difficult to find any consolidators that allow you to book in premium economy though |

Have just booked a WT+ fare to Australia where one could "upgrade" for GBP200 LHR-SIN and/or GBP150 SIN-MEL and vice versa. Cheers, Jason. |

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. Sounds like there's no clear winner
in this race...so if I can swing the extra $$$ easily, I'll spring for the extra legroom, but if not, I'll just hope I get an empty seat next to me! Jason Hobbs King wrote in message . ..

If you don;t have the extra cas, go for AA. AA has non-stop LHR-LAX service. Agreed and these flights do have MRTC |
