BRITISH Airways has celebrated a number of exciting changes in the past year with new food, flights and sustainability deals.
Last year, the UK flag carrier was one of the leading airlines for introducing many of the new procedures required during the pandemic, being the first UK airline to introduce a mobile travel health app.
As travel gets back to normal – and families are heading on their first long-deserved holiday in years – there are lots of things that are new for British Airways passengers.
This includes a new partnership with chef Tom Kerridge as part of their Speedbird cafe.
Options include a ham hock and smoked cheddar and brie plowman’s, as well as a vegan spiced cauliflower tortilla wrap and chicken, bacon and celery brioche bun.
First class and Club World passengers can now enjoy a roast dinner in the sky for the first time too.
