British Airways Replaces Hot Breakfast With Cold Option on Select Club Europe Routes From Jan. 7

BA says simplifying the tray allows crews to spend more time with customers.

Overview

  • Starting January 7, breakfast service on Club Europe flights to and from Amsterdam, Belfast, Brussels, Dublin, Jersey, Manchester, Newcastle and Paris will no longer include a cooked option.
  • The new offering will be a fresh fruit plate, yoghurt and a heated pastry, replacing the previous selection of hot dishes on these high-frequency short routes.
  • British Airways frames the shift as an operational simplification for larger short-haul business cabins, a rationale critics dispute as masking a cost cut.
  • Glasgow and Edinburgh are reported to retain hot breakfasts, following a September 2025 trial of reduced service that preceded the wider rollout.
  • Industry observers note most European competitors do not serve hot breakfasts on comparable flights, narrowing a product distinction that BA previously held and raising questions about appeal to premium connectors.
