Premium Flights

British Airways is now cost cutting which is expected would save them up to £22m by removing canapés and chocolates from their long flights and budget travellers for short-haul journeys will be making do with pretzels and a paper cup drink instead of having a sandwich and bottled water. British Airways passengers with flights less than 2.5 hours will not receive any meal at all after the 10 am flight. Morning flights would still enjoy a free breakfast.

British Airways needed to do some cost cutting after they had £401 million losses last year and is expected to have some more losses this year. They are now planning to raise £680 million to help the airline survive this crisis that we are all facing and had caused such pain in the aviation industry.

For short-haul flights under the business class would still continue to have their lunch and dinner foods as usual while premium travellers for the long haul flights would get second meals but in smaller servings as compared before and without the canapés and chocolates.

British Airways said in a statement that their foods are still in top class but with minor adjustments to avoid waste and so they could save money. After all, these meals are offered free but they just need to adjust it in order to survive the crisis.
