Does British Airways economy class have usb ports so I can charge my phone? Yes.

Recognising that we now have gadgets like phones and iPods with us all the time, BA has installed electrical sockets. Beneath each screen in every class there’s a USB socket so you can charge your smartphone. Every class except First, where there are two USB chargers.

Where power is available in World Traveller cabins, the sockets are shared in between seats. Currently there are two different systems in use for providing in-seat power on board: direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) based systems.

World Traveller is our economy cabin on flights beyond Europe, packed with all the comfort and benefits you expect from British Airways at an affordable price.

British Airways Premium Economy is a very average product, but it is still worth paying the extra if you can afford it. But, even with the grotty cabin, the food, drinks service, and crucially the seat recline and space was better in Premium Economy vs. Economy.

BA enhances in-flight catering, brings back free drinks and snacks in short-haul economy.

Airlines such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa try to protect their premium cabins. As such, they don’t offer complimentary upgrades to passengers.

Premium Economy is still *Economy* so no wonder you got economy bar run. You are free to get up at any time and help yourself to drinks from the galley and unlike many airlines, BA offer alcohol free of charge. You’re not supposed to get first class meals and running out of main course options can happen in any cabin.

When flying in Premium Economy you don’t get access to any British Airways lounges unless you are a high tier BA Executive Club member. If you want lounge access at London Gatwick or lounge access at London Heathrow, you can buy or use a Priority Pass to access alternative lounges.

Our premium economy (World Traveller Plus) seats are wider, with greater recline, lumbar support, a head and foot rest, plus extra leg room to stretch out. Our stylish quilt and cushion adds an extra layer of comfort when it’s time to rest, and we’ll give you a special amenity kit designed with sustainability in mind.

Complimentary access to an airline lounge is usually reserved for first and business class passengers, meaning there is no premium economy lounge access, or any for economy class people. Lounge access for premium economy class passengers is available though.

1. Splurge on first class (or premium economy). First-class lie-flat seats are optimal for a mid-flight snooze, thanks to their ample space and privacy, but there are ways to make sure that your trip is comfortable without splurging on a pricey ticket.

Bottom line. For a fraction of the cost of a business-class ticket, international premium-economy cabins can offer a significant upgrade for travelers with a few extra dollars to spare. However, not all premium economy is created equally.

No, it’s not business class, but airlines have recognised there is a ‘premium leisure’ market, or travellers such as myself on business on a long haul flight who need more space.” SeatGuru says it’s only worth it if the extra cost is 10% – 15% higher than standard economy, which is rarely the case.
