Rumors are growing that there is juicy news from the British Airways for summer 2021. The airline is intent on targeting the Widebody aircraft also for short routes, to take Brits to the most popular destinations of Greece and Spain. We are not suggesting that you fly to London and then head to Athens, of course. If, however, you were curious about flying for a couple of hours on a widebody plane, you could. You could fly from Catania to London to spend your vacation in Britain, for example. Or take a super low-cost Ryanair to Athens, and from there fly to London round trip. In short, that of British Airways Is new to the British. But that does not take away from the fact that, even from Italy, it cannot be exploited.
British Airways, the benefits of flying Business
A widebody aircraft is an airliner with a wide fuselage that allows for seven or more seats side by side. Due to the UK's major vaccination campaign, British Airways is making the best plans for all the services to be made available to its customers. Greece is a favorite summer vacation destination, as well as Spain, which could join by mid-May in this new service.
At its London Heathrow hub, British Airways has Boeing Co. 787, 777, and Airbus SE A350 dual-aisle jets that can carry up to twice as many people as the single-aisle jets that typically ply European routes.
The introduction of these aircraft even for short routes will allow you to enjoy so many more services at a much lower cost than standard. For just a few hundred euros you will be able to get a business ticket that will guarantee you a unique and unrepeatable experience. During the journey it will be possible to use the Flight System to watch your route or a movie and have ample space to travel in comfort and without stress.
Premium economy on BA 777s
Tier point and the possible upgrade for those booked in economy
British Airways' decision will depend on the volume of bookings and the UK's plan to reopen leisure travel. In an e-mail, the airline said it has been keeping its operations under constant review and declined to comment on specific plans. It is not uncommon for carriers to use larger aircraft. Air France, for example, flew the double-decker Airbus A380 between London and Paris in 2010, carrying 500 people at a time. Emirates flew A380s on 40-minute flights between Dubai and Oman before the pandemic decimated air travel. The same British Airways used its A350s between London and Madrid in 2019.
While waiting for the official announcement, many frequent flyers are wondering if BA will decide to make the free update to those who booked in economy to allow its customers to upgrade to premium economy. This will allow those who have purchased tickets to find themselves in a significantly larger, more comfortable seat with all the benefits.
There are many scenarios that open up for those who travel with the British airline, among them the possibility of earning lots of Tier Point to increase their status in theBritish Airways Executive Club. In fact, no member, including Bronze, Silver and Gold cardholders, will lose their Tier status in 2021. Members whose Tier Point collection end date expires between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2021, will have their status renewed for an additional 12 months, regardless of the number of Tier Points accumulated.
British Airways, what's new for routes in Italy
The United Kingdom is therefore Ready to jumpstart international travel. It is part of a phased plan to end planned blocking measures across Europe. Among the countries most active in making the best arrangements for summer 2021 is Greece, which is seeking to allow all vaccinated travelers, those who test negative for the virus, and those with antibodies to enter the country starting May 14. With the switch to widebody aircraft on short-haul routes for the summer, Italian passengers can also smile.
Those departing from Italy may have a more comfortable flight experience. For example, the route Catania-London could include the possibility of sitting in a real business chair, an unexpected luxury but one that bestows countless benefits. The presence of wideboby thus opens up a truly exciting scenario for all those who wish to travel in the summer of 2021.
