Enjoy Economy
Three ways to fly, and the best crew in the sky
Economy doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. In fact, we positively encourage you to be choosy, with three different ways to fly. Pack light and pay less in Light, take a checked bag with more flex in Classic, or treat yourself to Premium check in, priority boarding, and a lovely extra legroom seat in Delight.
Whichever you go for, there'll be a warm welcome waiting when you get onboard, along with deliciously different dining (that you can order up in advance) complimentary drinks and snacks, your pick of world-class entertainment, kid's packs for the little ones, plus all the little touches that make your flight that bit more special. It's all included. Now you're flying.
All Economy services include
- Free 10kg hand luggage
- 300+ hours of TV and films
- Complimentary drinks and snacks
- A choice of tasty meal options
- In-seat power for your devices
- Kids goodie packs
