Full of British Originality

Take a look at the latest goings-on across our airline including our newest aircraft deliveries, food and drink updates, cabin enhancements and more.

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.

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.
