There's a lot riding on this glassware.

It’s part of a £400 million investment in BA’s Club World. After a fairly awful year of IT meltdowns and the removal of free food and drink for economy passengers on short-haul, the airline promises a new start – at least for premium passengers. Already trialled on its London Heathrow to New York JFK route, business class will see a new restaurant-style dining experience, a partnership with the White Company for bedding and amenity kits, and elegant glasses for a new range of wines and soft drinks. Already opened is the new First Wing check-in at Terminal 5. We’ll have a detailed report on the new business class online at businesstraveller.com and in next month’s issue.
