What’s new on the flight experience

The limited-time dishes reflect Sri Lankan culinary traditions and are prepared in collaboration with Hoppers, a London-based restaurant group known for Sri Lankan food. The menu includes an initial yoghurt vadai starter with accompaniments, followed by a main course featuring Kalupol-spiced chicken with lemon rice and beetroot curry, with other dishes available as part of the seasonal offering.
Who is affected
The change affects passengers booked in British Airways’ business-class cabin on the new London Gatwick–Colombo route, between October 23 and December 30, 2026. It is a temporary, route-specific feature tied to the winter schedule.
Practical next steps
Travelers considering this route can expect a Sri Lankan-inspired menu during their flight in business class. If you are booking, check the flight’s cabin menu closer to departure dates for exact dish availability and any changes. For special dietary needs, review how the dishes align with your restrictions and alert the airline in advance if necessary.
Limits and questions
The menu is limited to a specific period (October 23–December 30, 2026) and to the business-class cabin on the new route. Details such as exact dishes may vary by aircraft and flight time. If you need the latest information, consult the airline’s official schedule and in-flight menus for the dates you plan to travel.
