British Airways yesterday announced that due to an overwhelming demand from customers for travel to the US and Canada in World Traveller (economy), seats were no longer available to purchase at the summer sale prices.

However, seats were still currently available to popular North American destinations in World Traveller Plus (premier economy) as well as to the UK in both World Traveller and World Traveller Plus from Bahrain. From BD380 customers can travel to the US or Canada and enjoy seven inches more legroom, double hand-baggage allowance and the increased privacy available in the airline's premium economy cabin. Customers will also be eligible to join British Airways' frequent flyer programme, the Executive Club and earn more BA Miles when travelling in this cabin.

Prices to the UK in World Traveller start from BD220. "Our sales have always proven to be extremely popular.

This time the overwhelming demand for economy fares to North Atlantic destinations has resulted in full capacity in our World Traveller cabin. However, family travellers can still fly British Airways and enjoy extra comfort in our World Traveller Plus premier economy cabin at giveaway prices when choosing to visit the US and Canada," said Rory Black, British Airways' Manager for Bahrain and Qatar.
