The UK’s most-awarded tea for taste is flying high
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.
Enjoy a vintage experience at 35,000ft
British Airways has become the world's first airline to serve prestige cuvée English sparkling wine on board.
In an exciting upgrade to our award-winning wine lists, we've partnered with pioneering English sparkling wine houses including Nyetimber, Gusbourne and Sugrue South Downs to offer a new range of sparkling options in our First and Club World cabins.
Among the four new additions available to customers travelling in First is 1086 by Nyetimber Rosé 2014.
For Club World customers, we’ll be serving Digby Fine English’s Brut NV over the coming months. In July, look out for Gusbourne’s 2019 Vintage Rosé and Hattingley Valley’s Blanc de Noirs in October.
Spring into Spring
With longer days and brighter skies ahead, we’re delighted to bring you a little taste of spring in our new High Life Cafe range.
From healthy, plant-based meals by Pollen + Grace to award-winning snacks and seasonal cocktails (did somebody say Spicy Margarita?), everything has been hand-selected for exceptional flavour. Place your order no later than 24 hours before your flight departs, and we’ll deliver straight to your seat.
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.
