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.

- Onboard WiFi
- Free 22lbs (10kg) hand luggage
- 300+ hours of TV and films
