Transiting through T5 at London Heathrow soon? Fly high with a gourmet take-out meal from legendary restaurateur-chef Gordon Ramsay’s Plane Food. Packed in a signature insulated, zipped lunch pouch with a handle, Plane Picnics include a starter, main and dessert with add-ons that include freshly baked bread and still or sparkling water. Starters range from Caesar salad with pancetta and soft-boiled egg to prawn and baby gem cocktail; mains include roasted Hereford rump of beef with green bean salad and mustard, Cumbrian honey-roast and Parma ham with slow roast vine tomatoes; or smoked Scottish salmon with apple, celery and walnut salad. Among dessert choices are cheesecake tart with berries, a chocolate and pecan brownie with crème Chantilly and English cheeses with biscuits and a fig and almond torte. Delectable vegetarian options are also available.

Adore those swish food hampers from iconic Fortnum & Mason’s? Now you can take one with you, scaled down to flight mode and available in five versions — each packed in its own trademark blue mini cooler lunch bag, dubbed hamperlings. Delicious portable feasts include roast salt-aged beef, a traditional Ploughman’s Lunch, foie gras, Fortnum’s Oscietra caviar, smoked fish and a cheese plate with Comte, Ragstone and Lincolnshire Poacher, along with rye bread, butter and apple chutney. Choose the vegetarian meal, and you’ll enjoy a salad of roast butternut squash, red onions, seeds and greens with herbed mustard dressing; a cheeseboard; Neapolitan squares; and creamy lemon posset. Fabulous flying picnics from both Plane Food and Fortnum’s can be purchased after passing through security in Terminal 5 at London Heathrow.
