Airlines
By selecting only quality airlines, Premier Holidays can offer the flexibility of virtually daily departures and holidays that can be tailored to your exact requirements.

By offering you flexible options we’ll ensure you have the experience you promised yourself, all the way through.
Premier Holidays airline partners include:
Seat Pitch
On long haul flights a little extra room can make a big difference to your comfort. Also shown in the table below are seat pitch measurements for each airline to help you make your decision. Whilst holidays are usually quoted on the basis of economy class air travel, we appreciate that many of our clients will wish to travel in the premium cabins of the aircraft.
For added comfort – why not upgrade?
Passengers who choose to travel on one of the ‘enhanced’ economy services, Business or First Class enjoy many benefits. These may include a more attentive service, priority check-in, increased luggage allowance, larger seats with more leg room, improved entertainment and in-flight meals with a wider choice of wines and beverages.
Enhanced economy upgrade
A new generation of more affordable upgrades has become available over the past few years, offering you a premium service with additional benefits compared to a standard economy class without the business or first class price tag. Airlines such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Eva Air and bmi all offer this ‘enhanced’ product with added benefits such as:
Separate cabin
- Increased legroom
- Increased baggage allowance (up to 25kg per person)
- A wider seat with personal seatback TV
- Upgraded meal service (certain airlines only)
Business class
Travelling business class, even one way, adds a new dimension to your holiday. For extra comfort and service, business class travel is fast becoming the standard for many of our customers. With Premier Holidays you will be flying with one of the world’s leading scheduled airlines so why not add a touch of class to your journey? One-way and return business class supplements are available across most of our programme. Privileges usually include:
- Complimentary domestic flights to UK airport of departure (conditions apply)
- Dedicated check-in

Fly from your local airport
Many of the airlines Premier Holidays feature offer departures or connections from regional airports throughout the UK and whilst holidays are normally based on Manchester or Heathrow (with some carriers operating from Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow also) we can arrange regional connections for you at a small supplement. To make your journey even less stress-free at your local airport, your luggage is, wherever possible, checked through to your final destination, dependent on security restrictions. Flights may be operated by British Airways, BA partner airlines, bmi and flybe.
