Business class to Tenerife

I am in the fortunate position of having a couple of holidays a year.
For travel in Europe I always use GB Airways (the franchise partner for BA) as they have offered a reasonably priced business class.

I see that BA have now sold off GB Airways to Easy Jet which do not provide Business Class.

Can anybody tell me where I can buy a ticket for a Business Class flight which is non-stop from Gatwick or Stanstead to Tenerife.

I have spent a couple of hours looking on the net and have found only one airline (Iberia) which is not direct (via Madrid) and takes nearly seven hours!

Any comments would help.

    seriously I'm not aware of any direct full service schedule services ( and as such no business class option)

    some charter flights do offer a premium option ... usually 30in leg instead of 28 and a bag of peanuts

    There are no direct services to Tenerife by full service airlines that offer a business class.

    You could always charter a private jet..:rolleyes:
  • Many thanks for the positive replies.
    To those who couldn't resist a quick swipe - don't knock it until you try it.

    (1): Dissapointed if there is more than one person in front of you at check in.
    (2): Extra luggage allowance
    (3): Pre bookable seats
    (4): Far more leg room
    (5): Better quality food and "free" drinks
    (6): Greater choice of entertainment
    (7): Prioritised baggage (some airlines)
    (8): Business class lounge - free food and drink
    (9): Priority boarding

    I could go on but that would rub salt in the wound.

    (1): Dissapointed if there is more than one person in front of you at check in. check in online, no one in front of you
    (2): Extra luggage allowance only a small extra amount in any class
    (3): Pre bookable seats who cares?!
    (4): Far more leg room for a few hours?!!
    (5): Better quality food and "free" drinks buy something from Pret before you go!
    (6): Greater choice of entertainment have you heard of an MP3/ 4?
    (7): Prioritised baggage (some airlines) you really need to get a life now!
    (8): Business class lounge - free food and drink you can purchase this for approx £17
    (9): Priority boarding £2 with Ryanair!

    I could go on but that would rub salt in the wound.

    Nope, still don't understand why you would want to do it for such a short flight ... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
