I hope they bring it back as it was an enjoyable read. I always read the in flight magazines, especially the route maps and fleet info (neither of which were actually that well done in High Life imo) so I hope it comes back. In addition to BA I've also flown LH, OS and AY since lockdown, and none of them had in flight magazines.

I only read this magazine on LHR - LAX flights somewhere over the Arizona desert when I had nothing else to do anymore.
And even then I only looked at the map and the BA fleet pages

They had started have a GQ/trendy section at the start , but agree it was always last in line after everything else. SH obvs its the only thing on offer!
Maybe they should be available new at the gate for those who want them..
There cant be much material to put in them at present
Maybe a feature on the brown paper bags.....

They have all the little billboards on the back of the seats right in front of your eyes to make up for the loss of advertising space elsewhere, that combined with the fuel saving and you’re probably onto a tidy profit.

A printed copy of High Life dropped in my letterbox this morning. I assume they were printed a few months into the future and are finding a new way to distribute them?

It sems a weird decision to me, but someone at BA has obviously put forward a successful pitch...

Curiouser and curiouser. MrsNWI and I both received the printed magazine with a non-personalised covering letter today, seemingly direct from the printers given the return address on the envelope.
It was labelled as “Winter 20/21”. Is this the same edition as others got in October?

No, it's not. That edition was headlined "Destination / joy", with a lower strap of "Sweet beaches, alpine adventures, luxurious hideaways.... planning your dream trip starts here". It was dated Autumn 2020, plus the wording of the letter was different.
