BA is bringing back a free bar and a small meal on some of its short-haul flights. Customers flying to or from Amman in Jordan and the Egyptian capital, Cairo, will be able to benefit from the improved meal service on all flights departing from September 7.

British Airways passengers on these services will soon be able to enjoy a complimentary gin and tonic, as well as free tea and coffee and a small cold meal.

The service will launch with a breakfast service or a ‘rest of the day’ option. The breakfast service includes a pastrami-filled croissant, Nutrigrain bar and Actimel milk drink, while the ‘rest of the day’ meal includes a chicken-filled roll, popcorn and a Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar.
