British Airways is offering a special deal on connecting flights to/from World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) long-haul flights. Usually, the short-haul European flights are booked into the regular Economy cabin. But for tickets booked before 30 November, 2019, those European (and UK) short-haul flights will book into the Club Europe (Business Class) cabin.
Regular BA travellers will know that Club Europe is nothing special; but nonetheless you will receive:
- more Avios and Tier Points
- access to lounges (valuable if you don’t enjoy elite status)
- Group 1 priority boarding
- complimentary food and drink service
- an empty middle seat
It’s also worth reminding readers that the British Airways Executive Club “double Avios” promotion is ongoing. Booking a World Traveller Plus / Club Europe combination will earn you a substantial number of Avios. Click here to re-read our earlier post about this promotion.
Terms and Conditions

Guess this is going to make the already crowded lounges even more crowded.
At least good news for PE customers.

Alitalia does this for its long-haul premium economy customers as well ( the connecting flight between London and Rome books into business)
