They aren't coming back. BA doesn't print anything on paper anymore, they've removed those old magazine units they left post-covid in the lounge and the cost of stocking them is just a cost they won't need. It's not going to happen on so many levels. It's like bringing something back from the late 90s which 'worked' then bit a bit so-so now, but will cost £xxxx/month and appeal to an ever-decreasing number of older clientele.
