What's new

We’re kicking off the summer with plenty of treats for all ages.

At London Heathrow and Gatwick airports, families can look out for mascots Peggy and Leon at check-in at weekends. Meanwhile, in our Club Lounges, little ones can tuck into the dedicated kids' buffet while adults enjoy a refreshing summer cocktail.

On board long haul flights, settle down to your pick of movies, including new summer releases, a curated Kids' Zone to keep little ones entertained, binge-worthy box sets, hit podcasts and music ranging from albums by Peppa Pig to House Club Classics.

Looking to settle down to a movie or box set on board? Enjoy double the titles to choose from with the launch of our free streaming service.

In addition to our seatback entertainment, customers on selected long-haul aircraft types* can now stream additional content from our extended library to their own devices for free. Choose from twice as much content including Oscar winners, box sets and the best kids shows around.

With High Life Stream, the hours will simply fly by.

*High Life Stream is available on A380, selected 787-9 with wi-fi connectivity and Thales entertainment and 777-200 with Thales entertainment system.

For craft beer fans visiting our Club Lounge at London Gatwick airport this summer, a new experience awaits on the mezzanine floor. 

Let us introduce you to our pour-your-own bar, where you can relax and enjoy a cold pint before your flight.

On the draught taps you can choose from Brewdog’s classic Punk IPA or the tropical session IPA, Wingman. In the fridges you’ll find the British Airways exclusive, the zesty transatlantic IPA Speedbird OG, along with chilled glasses for creating your perfect pour.

Pull up a bar stool and practice your bartending skills as you look forward to your flight with us, but please remember to drink responsibly and make your way to the gate before ‘last orders’.

The Brewdog Bar is available to all customers with British Airways lounge eligibility flying from London Gatwick airport.

Our BA Better World Community Fund creates life-changing opportunities while supporting amazing projects and charities that align with our sustainability programme.

Our on board charity collection is now raising vital funds for our five principal Community Fund partners: Alzheimer’s Society, The Disasters Emergency Committee, The King’s Trust, British Red Cross and The Earthshot Prize.

You can get involved by donating your spare change in any currency to help action real change for people and for the planet.

On behalf of all our partners and the BA Better World Community Fund, we’d like to thank you in advance for your continued support and generosity.

British Airways welcomes award-winning family-owned British brand Birchall as its new tea provider.

Serving almost 40 million cups of tea every year, we have gone to great lengths to ensure the right choice for our customers – with Birchall chosen for its performance in blind taste testing, as well as its British roots and sustainability credentials 

Birchall tea will be served on board from 1 May – its Great Rift English Breakfast, the UK’s most-awarded tea for taste*, will feature in the new BA line-up, as well as Earl Grey, Peppermint, Camomile and others.

*Great Rift has won a prestigious Great Taste Award for 14 consecutive years and received Gold at the 2024 Leafies Awards, the only dedicated tea award in the UK. 

We're excited to announce some sparkling new additions to our award-winning wine lists this summer.

Starting in July, customers travelling in First will be able to enjoy prestige cuvée Fifty One Degrees North 2016, produced by the pioneering English winemaker Gusbourne. Additionally, Club World customers can savour Gusbourne's exceptional 2019 Vintage Rosé.

The renowned Kent winery is just one of the acclaimed, homegrown producers we’ve added to our First and business-class cabins in recent months. 

Earlier this year, we made history by becoming the world's first airline to serve prestige cuvée English Sparkling wine on board, launching exclusive partnerships with Nyetimber, Sugrue South Downs, Digby Fine English, Roebuck, and Hattingley Valley.

There’s no better way to savour the sunshine than with a feast of fresh, local flavours – and in our summer High Life Café menu, we’re bringing you just that.

Choose from a delicious spread of classic sandwiches, or try a veggie-packed superfood salad courtesy of Pollen + Grace – served alongside a curated selection of award-winning snacks, seasonal drinks and summertime cocktails. Place your order no later than 24 hours before your flight departs, and we’ll deliver straight to your seat.

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.

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.
