British Airways announced new changes for its premium-economy cabin, World Traveller Plus. Part of a £6.5 billion investment, changes include a new look, service standards and dining experience.
New menus are available starting tomorrow and include extra main meal options and a more substantial, hot second meal later in flights. Launch menus feature braised beef with new potatoes, onion soubise and bourguignon sauce; roasted guinea fowl with cabbage; and rigatoni pasta in a creamy garlic and herb sauce. Meals are available for pre-order 24 hours before departure.
In the spring, British Airways plans to roll out new amenity kits, quilts and pillows.
A new seat arrives later in the year on Airbus A350 aircraft. It features a six-way adjustable leg, foot and headrest and a larger entertainment screen.
“This latest tranche of our £6.5 billion investment is set to improve World Traveller Plus and customers will see a real change to the cabin. In February the new menus will launch, followed in the spring by the introduction of new amenity kits, quilts and pillows for added comfort and a touch of luxury,” said Carolina Martinoli, director of brand and customer experience, British Airways.

Mar 28, 2024Cruise Lines Elevate the Onboard Fine-Dining Experience
It’s been a long time since the food on cruise ships resembled the bland, uninspired fare that gave onboard dining a bad name. These days, cruise passengers can look forward to menus created by Michelin-starred chefs made with top-quality ingredients served in stunning spaces. Choices abound as well. In addition to elegant main dining rooms, cruise ships have created a huge array of specialty restaurants that focus not only on perfectly executed traditional European and North American dishes but flavors and experiences from around the globe as well. In fact, meals served aboard cruise vessels have gotten so good, they’re drawing passengers onto ships: According to a recent report by luxury travel planning network Virtuoso, advisors report after Europe (specifically Italy and France), the No. 2 dining destination for travelers is aboard an ocean or river cruise. “This shows how cruise lines have really stepped up their culinary game, with consulting chefs and new restaurants and making that a focal point,” said Misty Belles, vice president, Global Public Relations, Virtuoso.
