More room to stretch out
Economy Stretch gives you more space to relax for a more comfortable journey, while still enjoying everything included with our standard Economy experience.
With an 89cm (35") seat pitch, you’ll have more space to stretch out and recline, with easier aisle access from window or middle seats.
You’ll also enjoy great food, a range of entertainment and your standard Economy baggage allowance.
