Pros:
Good value for money
Cons:
Inflight catering out of Delhi


In early July 2003 I travelled World Traveller Plus which is a cabin of 5 rows in a 2-4-2 configuration . The seats recline more than the normal economy class (though not enough to really take the weight
off your spine). Seat Pitch at 38 inches was pretty sufficient for a 6ft 2in tall person, though the thigh and ankle extensions were designed probably with shorter persons in mind !!.In flight amenities bag provided-a thoughtful touch.
After takeoff from Delhi on time at an unearthly hour of 2.10am ,I slept thru the snack service and awoke two hours out of London ravenous-but the breakfast of tasteless omelette and sausage disappointed.
On the return leg ,after a wait of nearly an hour in the plane and a barrage of inflight announcements , we left London in brilliant sunshine around noon .The drinks trolley came around a couple of times with an efficient cabin crew member so one didnt have to hang about in between my gin and tonics.An excellent lunch of Lamb and Salad accompanied by a glass of red wine went down very well indeed ( wonder why the in flight catering out of New Delhi always leaves a lot to be desired).
Shades down for a movie followed by an afternoon siesta -during which refreshment trays kept coming around .
Quick businesslike disbursement of drinks and a sandwich snack an hour out of Delhi -followed by a hustle and bustle to square away the cabin for landing and we were on the ground -on time at 11 pm -no doubt aided by a tail wind.
BA World Traveller Plus reminds one of the early business class seats -but when compared to the cost of the flat bed Club World , its good value for money.especially on a 9hr long-haul journey


No. of times flown on this Airlines: Between 7 - 10
Class flown most frequently: Economy Class
