Features & Benefits of Euro Traveller
1. Seating & Comfort
Euro Traveller seats are slimline and ergonomic, with
29–31 inches of pitch, adjustable headrests, and modern leather finishes.
For flights under two hours, comfort is perfectly adequate — you’ll have enough space to relax, read, or catch up on work.
Traveler insight: “I flew Euro Traveller from London to Vienna and was pleasantly surprised — comfortable seats, spotless cabin, and punctual arrival.”
2. Meals & In-Flight Service

a complimentary snack and bottled water.
For more variety, the
Speedbird Café (in partnership with M&S) offers pre-order or onboard purchases like sandwiches, salads, coffees, and wine.

3. Baggage Allowance
British Airways offers three Euro Traveller fare options — each with different baggage inclusions:
Fare Type | Cabin Bag | Checked Bag | Seat Selection |
---|
Basic | 1 personal item (small bag) |  | Paid |
Plus | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | 1 x 23kg checked bag | Included |
Plus Flex | 1 cabin + 1 checked | 1 x 23kg checked bag | Included + flexible changes |
For most short-haul travelers, the
Plus fare offers the best balance of value and convenience.
4. Entertainment & Connectivity

no seatback screens, but many aircraft offer
Wi-Fi access for browsing or messaging (available for purchase).
You can also enjoy free access to
British Airways’ High Life digital magazine, packed with destination guides and travel stories.
Euro Traveller vs. Club Europe — What’s the Difference?
