British Airways is set to make some big changes to its World Traveller Plus cabin, its version of premium economy, for 2019.
The big overhaul will include brand new furnishings, a change to services and an ‘improved dining experience’, as part of the airline’s £6.5billion investment plan over five years.
The biggest change appears to be in the menus offered to passengers, with new dishes being rolled out as early as Friday 1st February.
The new menu will feature a third main meal option, as well as a ‘more substantial’ hot second meal later in the flight.
The launch dishes will include the likes of braised British beef with roast new potatoes, onion soubise and bourguignon sauce, roasted guinea fowl with braised red cabbage, green beans, roast potato and mustard and chive jus and rigatoni pasta in a creamy garlic and herb sauce with leek, pumpkin and baby spinach.
Passengers will also be able to pre-order a main meal for up to 24 hours before departure, to guarantee that they can get their first choice.
It’s not just the food that’s being changed though.
British Airways says that come spring it will be investing into the cabin amenities, with brand new quilts and pillows, as well as amenity kits for a more comfortable journey.
Then there’s the new A350 aircraft arriving later this year, which will feature new World Traveller Plus seats offering an entertainment screen that’s 50 per cent larger than the current offering, as well as a six-way adjustable leg, foot and headrest the company says will ‘suit customers of all heights’.
Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ Director of Brand and Customer Experience, said: "This latest tranche of our £6.5bn 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."
