British Airways Premium Economy (WT+): Seats, Fees, Cost

British Airways World Traveller Plus is the airline’s long-haul premium economy cabin, and it buys you a wider seat with about 38 in (97 cm) of pitch, a second checked bag on most routes, a welcome glass of sparkling wine and priority boarding ahead of the economy cabin. It does not buy you a lounge, and it does not buy you a free seat reservation before check-in opens.

British Airways sells the cabin under two names, which is why it is hard to research. The airline calls it World Traveller Plus (WT+). Everybody searching for it types “premium economy”. Both names describe the same cabin and the same booking class, and this page uses both.

The cabin flies in 10 different layouts across 7 aircraft types, such as the Airbus A350-1000, the Boeing 787-9 and the Boeing 777-300ER, with World Traveller Plus row numbers running anywhere from row 10 to row 68 depending on which aeroplane turns up. That is the single most useful thing to know before you pick a seat, so the seat maps come second on this page, straight after the summary.

Every figure below was checked on 18 September 2026 against ba.com first, and against independent seat maps where British Airways does not publish a number.

British Airways World Traveller Plus: what you actually get

British Airways World Traveller Plus gets you a separate cabin with a wider seat, more legroom, 2 meals with a bar service, an amenity kit, in-seat power, a bigger baggage allowance and priority boarding. British Airways lists those 7 things itself, and the table below puts a number against each one, with the source it came from.

2 rows in that table are worth reading twice. The lounge row is the one most people get wrong, because a World Traveller Plus ticket on its own gets you into no British Airways lounge anywhere in the network. The seat selection row is the one that costs money, because British Airways charges to reserve a seat in this cabin right up until online check-in opens, which is unusual in a cabin at this price.

I flew British Airways World Traveller Plus from London Heathrow to Hong Kong in October 2025, on an Airbus A350-1000, in seat 21A at the window.

British Airways World Traveller Plus seat map, by aircraft

The British Airways World Traveller Plus seat map changes completely between aircraft types, so the row numbers you need depend on which aeroplane operates your flight. The British Airways World Traveller Plus cabin sits in 10 different layouts across 7 types, always directly behind Club World, and always either 2-3-2 on the narrower aircraft or 2-4-2 on the wider ones.

Start with the summary, then read the block for your aircraft.

The 4 rules that hold across every one of those layouts are listed below.

• The first row of the cabin has the most legroom, because nothing is in front of it. The first row is also where the bassinet positions are, so it is where a baby is most likely to be sitting, and its tray table and screen fold out of the armrest rather than out of the seat in front, which means both stay stowed through taxi, take-off and landing.
• The last row of the cabin lets you recline freely, because nobody is sitting behind you. The last row on several types has no galley or lavatory between World Traveller Plus and the economy cabin behind it, which makes it quieter than it sounds.
• The window pairs are the seats to ask for when you travel as a couple. Both layouts put 2 seats together at the window, so a pair of you gets a row to yourselves. Taking 2 seats in the middle block of three or four gives you the same pitch and a stranger for a neighbour.
• The bulkhead row may not be bookable at all. British Airways says bulkhead seats are usually reserved for customers with a disability and for those travelling with an infant, so they are often unavailable however much you are willing to pay. The airline also says the front row armrests are fixed and do not lift.

British Airways publishes representative seat maps on ba.com and says plainly that the actual layout for your flight appears in Manage My Booking once you have booked. Check there, by flight number, rather than assuming the route always gets the same aeroplane.

Airbus A350-1000

The Airbus A350-1000 carries 56 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 20 to 26, in a 2-4-2 layout, in one cabin behind Club Suite. British Airways has 18 of these aircraft and configures all of them the same way, which makes the A350 the most predictable type in the fleet for seat planning.

Row 20 is the bulkhead row and has the most legroom in the cabin. Seats 20A, 20E, 20F and 20K are bassinet positions. There is no galley or lavatory between the Club World cabin and World Traveller Plus, so the front of this cabin is genuinely quiet rather than nominally quiet.

Row 26 is the back row. Nothing reclines into you, nobody is disturbed when you recline, and the economy cabin behind begins without a galley or lavatory in between.

• Ask for: 20A, 20B, 20J or 20K if you want the legroom and a baby does not worry you. Any window pair in rows 21 to 25 if you are two people who want the quiet middle of the cabin. Row 26 if reclining without guilt matters more than legroom.
• Refuse: the middle block of 4 if there are 2 of you, because you will have strangers either side for no gain in space.

After eight hours in 21A, the extra recline mattered more than the extra width. The legrest helped when resting but did not support my legs fully, and the tray was large and stable enough for a laptop and a drink. The seat still felt close to my neighbour when we both reclined.

Airbus A380, upper deck

The Airbus A380 carries 55 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 60 to 68, in a 2-3-2 layout on the upper deck, behind Club World. The upper deck is the quieter of the two decks because it sits further from the engines, which is the main reason to want this aircraft on an overnight flight.

The first row is split between the centre and the windows. Seats 60D, 60E and 60F sit at the bulkhead in the middle block, and 61A, 61B, 61J and 61K are the window bulkhead positions. Those are the seats with the most legroom, and some of them are bassinet positions.

The back of the cabin is the part to avoid, and it starts earlier than the last row. Rows 66, 67 and 68 sit against the lavatory bank, which brings noise, light and queue traffic with it, and row 68 has only the centre seats 68D, 68E and 68F.

• Ask for: 61A and 61B, or 61J and 61K, for a bulkhead window pair. Rows 62 to 66 for the settled middle of the cabin.
• Refuse: 66A and 66K, the whole of row 67, and row 68.

British Airways has not yet fitted its newest business cabin to the A380, so this aircraft is still waiting its turn in the refit programme. Check the seat map for your own flight rather than assuming the layout above survives the refurbishment.

Boeing 787-8

The Boeing 787-8 carries 37 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 10 to 15, in a 2-3-2 layout behind Club World. British Airways has 12 of them, and the whole sub-fleet has now been through its cabin refit, which grew World Traveller Plus from 25 seats to 37.

Row 10 is the bulkhead row, with the most legroom and the bassinet positions. Row 15 is the back row and tapers to a single A and B pair, so it is the one row here where the usual eight-seat arithmetic does not apply.

This is also the type British Airways started its Starlink Wi-Fi rollout with, so a 787-8 is currently your likeliest chance of free on-board Wi-Fi in this cabin.

• Ask for: 10A, 10B, 10D, 10E or 10F for the bulkhead legroom, or 11A, 11K, 12A and 12K for the calm front-middle of the cabin.
• Refuse: 10J and 10K, where the cabin wall curves in and makes that bulkhead window pair tighter than the rest of the row, with the screen and tray table in the armrest.

Boeing 787-9

The Boeing 787-9 carries 39 World Traveller Plus seats in a 2-3-2 layout behind Club World, numbered rows 45 to 50 on the Club Suite layout and rows 16 to 21 on the older one. Row numbering on the newer layout starts high, so do not panic when Manage My Booking offers you row 45 in a cabin of 39 seats.

The 787-9 was the first British Airways aircraft to get the redesigned World Traveller Plus seat, which you can identify by its winged headrest. Row 45 is the bulkhead row, with the most legroom and the bassinet positions, and nothing between it and Club World.

Row 50, or row 21 on the older layout, is the one row on this aircraft to refuse outright. It is a four-seat row with no centre block, the lavatories sit immediately behind it, recline is limited, and 50A and 50K have no window.

• Ask for: 45A, 45B, 45J or 45K for the bulkhead legroom, or rows 46 and 47 for the calm middle of the cabin.
• Refuse: row 50, and row 49 with it, because five of row 49’s seven seats back onto the same lavatories.

Boeing 787-10

The Boeing 787-10 carries 35 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 20 to 24, in a 2-3-2 layout behind Club World. British Airways has 12 of them, and this is the type where the usual window-pair advice has an exception.

Row 20 is the bulkhead row, and the centre triple 20D, 20E and 20F has the most legroom in the cabin. The window seats 20A, 20B, 20J and 20K get bulkhead legroom too, but the seat is narrower because the screen and tray table live in the armrest. British Airways may fit a bassinet in row 20, at the centre seats and at the windows.

Rows 23 and 24 sit at the back of the cabin against the lavatory bank, and row 24 in particular is immediately beside the lavatory doors.

• Ask for: 20D, 20E or 20F if legroom is the thing you are buying. 21A, 21K, 22A or 22K if quiet is.
• Refuse: rows 23 and 24.

Boeing 777-200ER, four-class

The four-class Boeing 777-200ER carries 40 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 20 to 24, in a 2-4-2 layout behind Club World, on an aircraft that also has a First cabin. Row 20 is the bulkhead row, with the most legroom, and it carries the cabin’s bassinet positions.

Rows 23 and 24 sit at the back of the cabin, close to the lavatories, which makes them the ones to skip on this variant even though the back row is usually a good bet.

The seat-back screen across the whole Boeing 777-200ER fleet is 11 in and high definition, and the charging port at the seat is USB-A.

• Ask for: 20A, 20B, 20J or 20K for a bulkhead window pair. A window pair in rows 21 and 22 for the quiet middle.
• Refuse: rows 23 and 24, and the middle block of 4 if there are 2 of you.

Boeing 777-200ER, three-class

The three-class Boeing 777-200ER carries 40 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 15 to 19, in a 2-4-2 layout behind Club World, on an aircraft with no First cabin. Row 15 is the bulkhead row, and it carries the cabin’s bassinet positions.

Row 19 is the back row, and the seats to rule out on this variant sit one row ahead of it rather than in it.

This variant has the one genuinely defective pair of seats in the World Traveller Plus fleet. Seats 18A and 18K have no window at all, which on a daytime flight leaves you in a window seat looking at a blank wall.

• Ask for: row 15 for legroom, row 19 for recline, or a window pair in rows 16 and 17.
• Refuse: 18A and 18K.

Boeing 777-200ER, Gatwick fleet

The Gatwick Boeing 777-200ERs carry either 48 or 52 World Traveller Plus seats, in rows 10 to 15 on the 77S variant and rows 10 to 16 on the 77T, in a 2-4-2 layout behind a 32-seat Club World cabin. The two variants differ by one row at the back and by one important row at the front.

Row 10 is the bulkhead row, with four bassinet positions. Row 15, or row 16 on the 77T, is the back row, with no galley or lavatory behind it, so you can recline without thinking about it.

The Gatwick aircraft are the one place where the bulkhead rule breaks. On the 77T, row 10 is a row to avoid rather than the row to ask for, because lavatory traffic and bassinet mounts cancel out the legroom it would otherwise give you. Row 11 is the seat to take on that variant.

• Ask for: row 11 on the 77T, where it replaces the bulkhead as the row with the fewest compromises. A window pair in rows 11 to 13 on either variant.
• Refuse: row 10 on the 77T. Check the seat map for your own flight number before you pay for anything in the front row on either variant.

These aircraft have not had the newest business cabin fitted, so the Gatwick fleet is the oldest World Traveller Plus product British Airways still flies.

Boeing 777-300ER

The Boeing 777-300ER carries 40 World Traveller Plus seats in rows 30 to 34, in a 2-4-2 layout behind a very large Club World cabin. This is British Airways’ most front-heavy long-haul aircraft, with 8 First and 76 Club World seats ahead of you, which has one practical consequence: everybody in World Traveller Plus and economy boards past all of them.

Row 30 is the bulkhead row, with the most legroom, and 30E and 30F are the bassinet positions. Row 34 is the back row, where recline is limited and the economy curtain is directly behind you, so this is another variant where the back row is not the safe choice.

The charging port at the seat is USB-A.

• Ask for: 30A, 30B, 30J or 30K for a bulkhead window pair, accepting that the windows in row 30 can sit slightly out of line. 31A and 31K for the same legroom one row back from the bassinets.
• Refuse: row 34.

Seat selection: what it costs and when it is free

Seat selection in British Airways World Traveller Plus is free for everybody from 24 hours before departure, when online check-in opens, and costs money before that unless your fare or your status covers it. British Airways charges for seat reservations in every cabin except First, which is unusual: most airlines that charge for seats charge only in economy.

British Airways does not publish a seat selection price list. Its own seating page says prices appear when you book your flight and in Manage My Booking, and that the cost varies by seat type and cabin. In practice it also moves with the route and with how far ahead of departure you are, so the only reliable number is the one on your own booking. You can pay with a card, or in full or in part with Avios, on British Airways-operated flights.

By fare family

The fare family you book decides whether your seat costs money before check-in opens, and British Airways does not publish which brand includes what. Its seating page says only that tickets with increased flexibility give you more choice when selecting your seat, that this varies by cabin and fare type, and that you see your seating details before you pay when you make a new booking. The 2 things that follow from that are listed below.

• The booking screen is the only fare-family price list there is. British Airways shows the seating terms attached to each brand during the booking flow and in Manage My Booking, so compare the brands there rather than looking for a published table. The same screen shows the flexibility and refund terms, which is where the brands differ most.
• The cheapest brand is not the same ticket with a later seat. A flexible World Traveller Plus fare changes what you can do with the booking as well as when you can choose a seat, so read the conditions for the brand rather than for the cabin.

One thing trips people up here, and it is that there is no Basic fare in World Traveller Plus. The hand-baggage-only Basic fare that allocates you a seat at check-in and includes no checked bag exists only in World Traveller, British Airways’ long-haul economy cabin. You are looking at economy if a booking screen offers you a seat-free, bag-free fare.

By timing and by status

Timing and status decide everything the fare brand does not, because both the clock and your tier can make the same seat free. Timing works in three steps, and status works in three tiers, and the table below crosses them.

Exit rows follow their own rule. Silver and Bronze members get long-haul exit rows free only from 24 hours before departure, and if British Airways later decides you do not meet the exit-row requirements it reassigns you and keeps the money, unless you tell the airline at least 48 hours before departure that you no longer qualify.

Paid seating is otherwise non-refundable. British Airways refunds it only if the airline moves you to a seat you are unhappy with, cancels the flight, rules you out of an exit row on 48 hours’ notice, or you have paid for a cabin upgrade and decline to pay the difference to reselect. Cancelling your own flight does not get the seat money back. Your rights go a long way beyond the seat fee when British Airways cancels the flight rather than changing it, and the Wonderful Wanderings guide to flight cancellations covers what you can claim.

British Airways World Traveller Plus baggage allowance

The British Airways World Traveller Plus baggage allowance is 2 checked bags on most routes, at 23 kg (50 lb) each, plus a cabin bag and a hand bag. British Airways runs a piece system rather than a weight system, which means the airline counts bags first and then caps the weight of each one, and the two limits are listed separately below because they move independently.

Status changes the piece limit and the weight limit at once, and the two top tiers do not get the same thing. A Gold, oneworld Emerald or AerClub Platinum member travelling in World Traveller Plus gets 3 checked bags on most routes, while a Silver, oneworld Sapphire or AerClub Concierge member gets 2. Both tiers get up to 32 kg (70 lb) per bag instead of 23 kg, and so does everyone else on the same booking. British Airways says a limited number of routes cap the Gold allowance at two bags.

2 details of the cabin allowance are worth knowing, because they differ from most airlines. British Airways publishes no weight limit at all for the cabin bag. British Airways requires instead that you can lift it into the overhead compartment unassisted, and warns that a cabin bag may still be sent to the hold. The hand bag is guaranteed in the cabin as long as it fits under the seat in front of you, which is where medication, electronics and passports belong.

The allowance that counts is the one printed on your e-ticket. “On most routes” is British Airways’ own wording and the airline does not publish the list of exceptions, so a general table, including this one, can only tell you what usually applies. Manage My Booking and British Airways’ own baggage calculator show the allowance attached to your ticket, and that is the number the check-in desk works from. You also cannot pool or combine an allowance with anyone else on the booking, even a partner travelling in the same cabin.

The menu in World Traveller Plus

The World Traveller Plus menu is a glass of sparkling wine on boarding, then a starter, a main course and a dessert served as 1 dining service, followed by snacks and hot, cold and alcoholic drinks brought to your seat through the flight. British Airways lists 2 meals as a World Traveller Plus benefit, so on a long sector you get a second service before landing as well.

The course structure is the visible difference from economy. World Traveller also serves a starter, main and dessert with drinks, and a second meal on longer flights, so what World Traveller Plus adds is the welcome drink, the delivery of everything to your seat rather than from a trolley round, and the bar service in between.

British Airways does not publish its current long-haul menu online. The airline publishes the short-haul High Life Café menu, which is the buy-on-board range in Euro Traveller, and it publishes the on-board entertainment line-up, but the World Traveller Plus menu card is handed out on board and is not available as a download before you fly. A menu PDF for this cabin found anywhere else is somebody’s photograph of a card from a past flight, not a current British Airways document.

Special meals are the part worth planning, because the deadlines differ by direction and British Airways publishes them precisely.

You request them in Manage My Booking as soon as the booking is confirmed. British Airways offers vegetarian, vegan, Hindu vegetarian, Hindu non-vegetarian, halal, Jain, kosher, child, diabetic, gluten intolerant, low calorie, low fat, low salt and low lactose meals, and states that it cannot vary them or make up a plate to order. Kosher meals are not available on flights to London from a published list of airports, including Bahrain, Bangalore, Cairo, Nairobi, Riyadh and every Caribbean airport. Baby meals cannot be ordered at all, though bottle and food warming is available on long-haul flights.

One trap catches connecting passengers. British Airways serves no complimentary meal in Euro Traveller, its short-haul economy cabin, so a World Traveller Plus long-haul ticket connecting onto a short-haul economy leg gets nothing on that leg beyond what you buy from the High Life Café.

Dinner was chicken with potatoes and vegetables, followed by a small dessert, and breakfast was eggs with sausage and fruit. The meals broadly matched the printed menu, though the presentation was simpler than the menu card suggested.

What the crew does in this cabin that they do not do in economy

The crew difference in World Traveller Plus is mostly about when and how things arrive rather than what they are. You board in a priority group, after First, Club World and the top status tiers, and ahead of the entire economy cabin, which boards from the back of the aircraft forwards in the groups behind you. You are handed a glass of sparkling wine before departure. Snacks and drinks are brought to your seat between the meal services rather than waiting for a trolley.

The crew addressed passengers individually during the first meal service and came back several times with drinks without being called. That is more attentive than a typical long-haul economy service.

Lounge access with a World Traveller Plus ticket

A World Traveller Plus ticket gives you no British Airways lounge access on its own, because British Airways grants lounge access by cabin only to First, Club World and Club Europe passengers. Everything else comes from status or from paying a third party.

What British Airways World Traveller Plus costs

British Airways World Traveller Plus costs whatever the same flight’s World Traveller fare costs plus a gap the airline never publishes, so the only number worth acting on is the one your own search returns on your own dates. The cabin is sold as a separate fare brand on the same flight as World Traveller, which means both fares appear in a single search result and the distance between them is visible before you commit to anything.

Read the gap, not the fare. Run one return search on ba.com for your dates, take the lowest World Traveller fare and the lowest World Traveller Plus fare on the same flight, and subtract one from the other. Then run the same search for a date in another season, because the two cabins move together: peak dates lift both fares rather than widening the distance between them.

The 3 things that change that gap are listed below.

1. Flight length. The gap grows far more slowly than the flight time does, so the cost of each extra hour in the wider seat falls the further you go. New York to London is about 7 hours in the air. Los Angeles to London is about 11. It is the same seat on both.
2. The fare brand. The cheapest World Traveller Plus ticket and the most flexible one are very different prices, and the flexible brands are the ones that change your seating and refund terms rather than the seat itself. Read the conditions on ba.com for the brand you are buying rather than for the cabin.
3. The second checked bag. A World Traveller Plus fare includes a second bag on most routes. If you would have paid for one on a World Traveller ticket, subtract that charge before you judge the gap.

Fares move week to week on every route, so a figure quoted in any guide, including this one, dates within days of being written. Compare live British Airways premium economy fares for your own dates against the World Traveller fare on the same flight, and judge the cabin on that difference.

Is British Airways World Traveller Plus worth it?

British Airways World Traveller Plus is worth it when you are flying long, flying overnight, travelling as a pair, or already checking 2 bags, and it is poor value when the flight is short or you sleep through anything. British Airways does not fit a flat bed in this cabin, so what you buy is about 7 extra inches of pitch, an inch or two of width, a footrest and a quieter cabin.

The 5 cases where it is worth paying for are listed below.

1. Fly over 10 hours. The fare gap grows much more slowly than the flight time does, so the cost per hour of extra space falls the further you go.
2. Travel as a pair. Every World Traveller Plus layout puts 2 seats together at the window. Economy on the same aircraft is 3-3-3 or 3-4-3, so a pair of you will almost always have a third passenger in the row.
3. Check 2 bags anyway. The second bag is included on most routes, and buying one on an economy ticket eats into the difference.
4. Hold Gold or Silver already. Status plus a World Traveller Plus ticket gets you lounge access, priority check-in and free seat selection from the time of booking, and Gold adds a third checked bag on most routes, which is close to a business-class day on the ground for a fraction of the fare.
5. Land eastbound and work the next morning. The footrest and the pitch are what make sitting upright for 8 hours survivable.

The 5 cases where it is not worth paying for are listed below.

1. Sleep on planes regardless. The extra pitch buys you comfort you will not be awake to use if you drop off in a 31 in economy seat, and an eye mask and a decent neck pillow from the Wonderful Wanderings long-haul flight essentials list do more for the money.
2. Want the lounge. Lounge access is not included, and a day pass through a third-party lounge network costs a small fraction of the cabin upgrade.
3. Fly 7 hours or less. The gap between the two cabins barely narrows on a shorter sector, so a New York to London ticket buys the same extra space for 4 fewer hours of it.
4. Travel alone into a middle block. The middle 4 seats of a 2-4-2 cabin give you the pitch without the quiet, and an economy exit row often gives you that same pitch for much less.
5. Prefer Avios or a business-class fare elsewhere. British Airways allows a one-cabin Avios upgrade from World Traveller Plus to Club World when award seats exist, so booking this cabin and watching for an upgrade is a real strategy rather than a compromise.

Those 10 cases turn on the cabin rather than on the airline, and the same trade-off runs across every carrier that sells one. The Wonderful Wanderings hubs on premium economy versus economy and premium economy versus business class work through it without the British Airways specifics, and the ranked premium economy airlines comparison puts World Traveller Plus next to every other cabin in the set. On London routes the direct alternative is Virgin Atlantic Premium, which flies the same transatlantic pairs out of Heathrow. On a long-haul connection through Asia, the Cathay Pacific premium economy review covers a cabin with a deeper recline and a calf rest.

World Traveller Plus made the long flight easier, mainly through the extra space, the deeper recline and the smaller cabin. Anyone who sleeps easily in economy, or who finds only a small price gap between World Traveller Plus and Club World, should not pay for it automatically.

WonderfulWanderings Pro Tips

The 5 tips below come from checking British Airways’ own published rules and seat maps on 18 September 2026, and each one is specific to this cabin rather than to flying in general.

1. Request a special meal to a different deadline in each direction. British Airways takes dietary meal requests up to 24 hours before a flight leaving London Heathrow or London Gatwick, but 36 hours before a flight going to either airport, and 48 hours for a kosher meal leaving Gatwick. Book both legs at once in Manage My Booking, because the inbound deadline passes while you are still away.
2. Wait for check-in to pick your seat unless you want an exit row or a window pair. Seat selection is free for every World Traveller Plus fare from 24 hours before departure, British Airways publishes no price list for choosing earlier, and the bulkhead rows you might be paying for are usually held back for infant and disability bookings anyway.
3. Pack a USB-A to USB-C cable. Seat power in World Traveller Plus on the Boeing 777 fleet is USB-A, the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-8 add a universal AC socket beside it, and British Airways’ own page warns that a few aircraft need you to bring your own adaptor because they are not sold on board. A 2-pack of USB-A to USB-C cables costs less than a Wi-Fi package and lets the seat charge a modern phone.
4. Add a British Airways Club number to the booking even if you never collect another Avios. Membership is free, and it makes the on-board messaging package free in every cabin. Messaging costs £2.99 to £4.99 (about €3.50 to €5.75, $4 to $6.50) on a long-haul flight without a number attached. Starlink Wi-Fi, which is free for everybody, has only reached part of the fleet and started with the Boeing 787-8s.
5. Check the aircraft, not the route. World Traveller Plus flies in 10 layouts with row numbers running from 10 to 68, and the same city pair can get a 2-3-2 Boeing 787 one day and a 2-4-2 Boeing 777 the next. British Airways says its published seat maps are representative and that Manage My Booking shows the real layout for your flight number, so open it there before you pay for anything.
