Tracking New WT+ (World Traveller Plus)
 

Not quite as glamorous as NF, but I'm wondering whether any frequent flyers have info on which routes in the fleet or planes have the new WT+.

Having recently experienced it for the first time on BA182 from JFK-LHR, I think I’ll find it quite hard to go back to old WT+. BA probably don't want to hear this… but for day flights, I’d now be pretty happy to fly new WT+ unless I receive any upgrade offer I can’t refuse.

The new WT+ is offered on all the 777-300ERs although I know they are to retro-fit 'some' of the other 777s.

From the flights I've been on recently only the LHR JFK 179 has been on the new 777-300ER. I've been on a few of the earlier JFK flights and they were all on 747s (not sure if NWT+ was on). There was no NWT+ on the LAX or DEN routes either that I've flown in the last couple of months.

Can confirm to ORD it's new WT+ :)

BA27/28 between HKG-LHR will soon switch from 747 to 777 with new WT+

Whatever is operated by 77W has guaranteed new WT/WT+/F.

The 77W are the only aircraft to have new WT/WT+ for now.

I totally agree, I flew yesterday night on BA182 in WT+ and I thought the same.. The seats if you don't want/need to sleep for the whole flight are good enough to take a nap and they are really comfortable for working/reading/watching movies! The new IFE is really great too!

I fly quite often on the JFK-LHR-JFK route and I would definitely keep traveling on WT+ and maybe MFU on the night flight if I need to sleep..

We need to say though that the meals on WT+ (as in WT) are ridiculous.. This morning the "breakfast" was a single muffin. I don't want scrambled eggs in WT but at least a cookie or a yogurt would be a nice touch..
Well.. It's a short flight and I usually eat at the airports or at home rather than on board, but I'd love to see some improvements in the WT catering..

Anyone any idea whether BA67 to PHL has new WT+? I'm taking that flight in 2 weeks and new WT+ may sway my decision whether to upgrade through MMB (if offered) from my lowly Y ticket (grrr for annoying work rules on booking fares!).

Only on 77W-operated flights.

The new WTP/WT products are only fitted to 77W aircraft currently, with the GMIS 772s to be refitted next year.

You have about a 0.01% chance.

PHL which is my normal route doesn't get the 777-300 so tough luck on the new WT+

Oh well, not to worry. Thanks. :)

Hi friends,

Any idea if any of these sectors (to be flown in SEP/OCT 2011) are the new WT+?

BOM - LHR BA 138
LHR - IAH BA 195
IAH - LHR BA 194
LHR - BOM BA 199

Thanks,

The 77W is not scheduled to operate any of these flights, so no new WTP.

in fact 0.01% chance of any improvements working their way to the PHL route, it seems to be last for anything and first to get random flights cancelled for random reasons:eek:
If PHL wasnt so convenient I would use EWR

With my office in Horsham I often do! Yes PHL is closer but EWR isn't a bad run at all and the daylight flight can be a godsend for me at times.

I'll be flying BWI-LHR on BA in a few weeks and wanted to know what's available on that plane. It's listed as a 767. Is it correct that all BA 767s to the US have WT+, and that none of them have the new version yet? TIA
