Then indulge in festive cookies, chocolate cakes and gingerbread desserts. Look out for special drinks including Christmas coffees, tea-based mocktails, sparkling mixes and more.
A stocking gift from us to you

Enjoy a festive feast in all classes

In First and Business Class, start your Christmas dinner with a seafood appetizer including lobster tails. Enjoy the paprika-spiced turkey served with jus, chestnut and turkey bacon stuffing and truffle potato gratin, or choose the duck confit, herb-crusted lamb or venison.
