Low-cost airline offers executives two seats each
Spanish airline Vueling has launched a new business product, giving business travellers the option to book a double seat in the front row.
Called Duo, the product includes guaranteed space for hand luggage as well as a complimentary snack and drink on board.
The Duo will be applicable only to the four seats in the front row of Vueling’s Airbus A320 aircraft.
Vueling said business passengers now account for 44% of all its customers.
Duo will be marketed both through travel agencies and direct and is available on all routes, including Vueling’s flights from London Heathrow, North Africa and the Middle East.
From 30 October to 24 March Vueling is tailoring its winter programme to meet the needs of business travellers, including doubling its daily London Heathrow to Bilbao schedule.
