If you’re a BA Gold Member and have a Gold Upgrade to use (like me), this is a great fare. Even if you’re just thinking of going to Sydney and might be faced with going in World Traveller, this is a nice fare, for a slightly nicer way to fly. Know a student going for their gap year?

10 Tier Points to/from Heathrow and Dublin plus 150 for each Sydney segment gives 320 Tier Points and the four flights required for status earning.  It’s enough for Bronze and just over half way to Silver.

BA describes WTP as follows:

The World Traveller Plus cabin features a smaller number of rows for a more intimate and exclusive experience but you’ll find the small cabin big on space and big on features, including:

• a wider seat with greater recline, lumbar support, head rest and foot rest
• extra leg room to stretch out, sit back and relax, sleep or work
• comfy cushion, blanket and amenity kit with toothbrush, toothpaste, flight socks and eye mask
• power supply for laptops and other electronic devices –
