On-board product
British Airways flies a Boeing 787 Dreamliner between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and London Heathrow (LHR). This plane has 39 Premium Economy seats in a 2-3-2 configuration.
British Airways and Iberia mainly use Airbus A320-family aircraft to operate the majority of services between London and Spain, although you can sporadically find Iberia A350s on the London-Madrid route.
The A320 family aircraft use a 3-3 configuration in Economy Class for the short flight.
Earning points & status credits with this airfare
The Premium Economy component of this fare books into “T” class, while the Economy Class part of the fare books into “K” class. As British Airways and Iberia are members of the Oneworld alliance, you could earn points and status credits for this airfare in programs including:
- Qantas Frequent Flyer
- Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards
- American Airlines AAdvantage
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club
For example, if you credited these flights to Qantas Frequent Flyer, you could earn at least 13,550 Qantas Points and 150 status credits.
You could also earn 13,954 Avios with Qatar Airways Privilege Club, or 14,180 Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points.
We don’t recommend crediting this fare to British Airways, as you’ll only earn approximately 6,000 Avios due to their spend-based calculation.
