Enjoy Flexibility with Mixed Class Flights

Also known as multi-class flights or mixed cabin travel, mixed class flights are a flexible air travel option where you combine two or more flight classes on legs of a single itinerary. For example, on a trip from Sydney to London, you might fly economy class to Singapore in the morning and then fly business class (with a better opportunity for some sleep) from Singapore to London in the evening.

Mixed cabins allow you to choose based on your needs for each leg of the trip. For example, you might want first class for an overnight flight and economy for shorter, daytime flights.

You can either book with us online or contact our Luxury Travel Experts to assist and customize mixed class airfares that will suit your needs. Call 1300 193 314 for more information on how you can take full advantage of Flight Centre's mixed class airfares on your next flight.

In many cases, the allowance will follow the rules of the highest class you're flying. So, if you're flying economy on one leg and business on another, you might be allowed the business class baggage allowance for the entire trip. However, it's always a good idea to confirm your baggage allowances when booking or checking in to ensure you're aware of any potential fees or restrictions.

When you book a mixed class flight, you might choose different classes for different legs of your journey. Each class will offer different levels of service and amenities, and you may need to follow different check-in procedures and boarding processes depending on the class you're flying for each segment. You can ask one of our Travel Experts about mixed cabin travel and make a booking.

Yes, you can often select different classes for outbound and return flights when booking a mixed class itinerary. However, this is only possible when booking directly with an airline sales representative, a Flight Centre Travel expert, or online with a few airlines such as Emirates and British Airways.

Yes, you can upgrade one segment of a mixed class flight. The key to upgrading any ticket is to have loyalty status with the airline you're flying with. Most airlines reward frequent flyers with complimentary upgrades once they reach a certain number of points or miles. If you're not a frequent flyer, another option is to travel with someone who is. Many airline frequent flyer programs let loyal customers sponsor complimentary upgrades for travel companions on the same flight.

Several airlines offer flexible mixed class flight options. Airlines with good policies and availability include Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, and British Airways.
