Uk To Australia - Economy, Premium Or Business?
16 Answers
Hi, we are looking at going to Australia in November and wondered if anybody had any experience or views on whether Premium Economy is worth it over Economy, or if it really is worth spending the extra to go Business Class?
Also, would it be worth getting a Credit Card that gives you air miles to buy the tickets with? Or just a normal credit card?

Recently flew to Toronto Premium Economy by BA , going out plane was a 777 and not worth the upgrade coming back it was the new 787 and was well worth the upgrade to Premium Economy. The only way I would travel Business class is if it was a reasonable amount over economy plus but its not, its too much of a gap . ( in my opinion) . Oh yes and if somebody else paid haha.
Without sounding rude, I think it depends how large you are! If, like me, you are average build, 5' 9" and 12 stone, then economy is fine, I always make sure I have an aisle seat so that standing up and walking around the aircraft is easy, I make my way to the back of the plane and do regular stretching excercises. I travel a lot of long haul in economy and find it not a problem, I'm 66 btw, but a friend of mine who often travels with me is 'larger'than me and he upgrades to Premium Economy, I have travelled by premium economy before and thought that there wasn't much difference, apart from the price, Its worth thinking about. :)
I'd go business if I could afford it for any long haul flight.
But watch out for what you get - not every company operates flat beds or has them on each flight. If you find what looks like a cheap / good value business class fare it's probabaly not got flat beds.
Also, check when you want to go. The cost of flights from UK to Australia goes up significantly at the beginning of November so if your schedule is flexible you could get something cheaper if you went at the end of October.
FInally, flights with stopovers are often cheaper than direct flghts.
