British Airways plans to offer an unforgettable Christmas for its guests
British Airways is making it the biggest celebration for its customers to date with Christmas dinners, festive soaps and scents, hours of Christmas classics, as well as number of sweet treats.
The airline has partnered with Hotel Chocolat to offer customers a hot chocolate winter warmer in its Concorde Room, or a festive chocolate cream cocktail in its First lounge. The airline has also commissioned a British Original artist to create a winter wonderland for customers on the walkway between its main lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5. The masterpiece will be carefully painted using ‘snow graffiti’ and feature a British skyline scene with snowy décor. The art will be created live across the first two days of December for customers to watch.
Taking the celebrations to 35,000ft, customers travelling on the airline´s long-haul flights can tuck into traditional Christmas dinners* served on festive themed trays. The airline expects to serve a staggering 380,000 Christmas dinners, which includes more than 600,000 Brussel sprouts and 8,000 Yule logs. British Airways’ customers can also enjoy more than 1,500 hours of inflight entertainment, which includes more than 20 classic Christmas films and 50 TV Christmas specials on its dedicated ‘Christmas countdown’ channel. Travellers will also notice festive scented soap in the airline’s onboard restrooms.
As a special gift to the airline’s most premium customers travelling on December 24 and 25, British Airways will present each passenger with a beautifully hand painted, bespoke glass Christmas bauble.
The airline’s customers travelling in Euro Traveller on short-haul flights will also be able to choose from a selection of festive treats avliable to purchase through airline’s High Life Café. This includes Tom Kerridge’s turkey feast sandwich, Pullin’s Gingerbread Muffin, and LoveRaw’s vegan M:lk Choc Cre&m bar.
