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.
