Prince Harry on BA

Saw this article suggesting Prince Harry flew to Tokyo premium economy on Nippon Airways. It looks suspiciously like BA CW! Just shows you can’t believe all you read!

It does look rather like BA CW to me, too.

Also it’s a 787 which would be NRT while the article says HND.

Apparently ANA Premium Economy offers lounge access, fine dining and fully flat beds. Blimey. Other airlines are missing a trick here.

The Duke of Sussex took flew commercially to and from Tokyo
Good to see litteracy stil rooles at the Sun.

Of course, HRH might have been doing a multi-cabin cabin walkabout.

It's sad when a celebrity and the local (tabloid) press mistake BA's business class for a competitor's premium economy product.

ANA (and JAL) premium economy actually does offer lounge access, I was quite surprised when I took it between Tokyo and Bangkok

I suppose CW would possibly look a bit like a slightly premium but essentially economy service when you're more used to poncing about the place on private jets.

As much as it pains me to come even close to defending them, I suppose it's possible that Harry was sat in WTP and just strayed in to the CW cabin long enough for the photographer to get a snap off. Doesn't excuse saying that it was Nippon when it's clearly BA though...

Honestly... so tired of the UK press talking about the "family " taking commercial flights?
they do not travel in the back of the plane... or have to worry about baggage allowance,
lines at check in ..etc.
Its enough that they preach "climate change" yet never practice it (what ever that means)
I am quite sure, getting to watch the final.. the tickets were not a issue..(both for the flight and the game)
