British Airways is to introduce pre-ordering of main course meals for passengers travelling in World Traveller Plus premium economy, Club World business class and First Class on select long-haul flights departing from Monday 1 December 2014.
This move has been long anticipated. Indeed, it was originally announced a year ago.
At first, the option to pre-order meals will only be available on long-haul flights to Dallas Fort-Worth, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Rio de Janeiro, Seattle and Vancouver.
Passengers will be able to pre-order meals from Tuesday 18 November via the Manage My Booking tool.
Update: This service has now been extended to flights from London Heathrow to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Houston, Austin and San Diego for travel after 5 February 2015.
In addition, from 1 February 2015 pre-ordering of meals will be available on flights between London Heathrow and Atlanta, Denver, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary that depart after 1 March 2015. (Source: BA trade website.)
