- Short-haul change
- 2017
In 2017, British Airways eliminated complimentary food and beverage service across its short-haul economy cabins, replacing the standard service with a buy-on-board catering programme. When the airline first introduced the paid menu, it launched the short-haul offering in partnership with a premium British supermarket.
Travellers evaluating their inflight payment choices frequently ask whether Avios points can be redeemed directly to cover food and drink purchases during these short-haul flights.
