Every Christmas, an original

This festive season we’re taking to the skies with a sprinkle of yuletide magic. From British favourite flavours with an original twist to Christmas movie classics on board, find out what’s waiting for you when you fly with British Airways this December.

Our food and drink 

If you’re joining us on board, get ready to enjoy Christmas-inspired dishes. On shorter flights, we’ll have Turkey sandwiches and other themed bites available. On our longer flights, expect a traditional British turkey dinner with all the trimmings or a special vegetarian Christmas dish. This year’s festive tipples include seasonal cocktails, BrewDog Hoppy Christmas IPA and Twinings Christmas tea. 

Our lounges  

Join us this festive season and discover a whole range of experiences in our lounges, including yuletide flavours like gingerbread, mince pies and mulled wine. If you’re travelling over the weekend in December, make sure you visit the pop-up festive stalls in our Business and First lounges, where you’ll find complimentary treats from a selection of premium British brands.  

Entertainment on board

Explore our dedicated Christmas inflight entertainment channel and get stuck into Christmas specials by the likes of Gavin and Stacey, Absolutely Fabulous and Downton Abbey. If you’d rather get cosy, choose the Christmas fireplace winter background scene and relax under a blanket.

Christmas has landed

Christmas has landed at High Life Café and we’re bringing you all the flavours of the season. 

From BrewDog Elf lager to The Jolly Hog pigs in blankets rolls, turkey sandwiches, Christmas crumbles and gingerbread muffins, there’s something for everyone. Treat yourself and pre-order from our range of festive favourites.

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.
