Enjoy Grind Coffee on our short-haul flights

We're pleased to announce our new partnership with London-based brand Grind Coffee.

When you fly Euro Traveller routes with us from London Gatwick or London Heathrow, you can pre-order or buy Grind Coffee during your flight, as part of the range on offer from our High Life Café.

Choose from a flat white, long black or decaf coffee made from a bespoke blend, developed by Grind's head of coffee. Or cool down with a refreshing iced caramel latte made with the usual Grind goodness.

A British Original safety video

Our new safety video celebrates one of Britain’s most original exports, the period drama. It pays homage to the UK’s rich and varied history, made famous by our literature, films and TV.

Think Bridgerton, Pride and Prejudice and Outlander, but with plane seats, cabin crew and oxygen masks. Meet our cast of horseback-riding Scotsmen, corseted ladies-in-waiting and bejewelled queens, as they follow along with the safety instructions given by members of our team.

Tuck into our summer menu 

Summer’s here and our new seasonal High Life Café menu has arrived. 

Choose from a treasure island kids’ snack box including a mini Dobble card game to keep little ones entertained, rainbow coloured salad bowls, a new chicken shawarma style sandwich designed by Tom Kerridge, exclusive coffee blends from our friends at Grind and all your usual favourites. 

Pre-order to select from the full menu, as not all items are available to buy in flight.

Experience the Turbine Martini in our Concorde Room

Visit the Concorde Room at Heathrow Terminal 5 to relax with an exclusive Turbine Martini before your flight.

The recipe for this unique drink has been created by our partner mixologist Mr Lyan and is made in a bespoke mixer designed by the experts at Bremont and CALLUM.

Combining vermouth with custom bitters and Aviation American Gin, your drink will be mixed and poured at your seat using the turbine-inspired, motorised martini mixer. It carefully stirs your cocktail at the perfect speed to create a smooth and elegant martini every time.
