The Langham, London has teamed up with British Airways to offer a stylish new menu for customers traveling in the world’s largest plane to Los Angeles.
To mark the highly anticipated arrival of the gleaming new twin-deck A380 aircraft, British Airways passengers travelling in First and Club World are being treated to the menu, designed by The Langham, London.
For the first time, British Airways will introduce an elegant five-course tasting menu in First, which takes diners on a gastronomic journey with a combination of flavours brought together to work in the air. Dishes will include poached lobster, chicken tea, seared scallops and braised pork belly, coupled with distinctive ingredients including goji berries and pak choi.
Afternoon tea in First from London will offer a tempting range of delicate sandwiches, artisan pastries and warm homemade scones, inspired by the range of indulgent treats offered at Palm Court at The Langham, London – famed as the birthplace of Afternoon Tea over 140 years ago.
In Club World the hotel will also feature with a celebratory starter, main course and dessert. Created using the finest and freshest British ingredients, customers will be able to choose from a range of menu options, which will include Oxspring cured ham, fillet of beef with parsley crust and a milk chocolate bar with salted macadamia nuts.
Frank van der Post, British Airways’ managing director brands and customer experience said: “We always look for special ways to create memorable experiences for our customers and adapting our menu in partnership with The Langham, London as the home of afternoon tea, seemed like the perfect way to commemorate the arrival of the A380.”
