BA has been looking to relaunch its Club World service for several months. We’ve been shown the bedding, we’ve even had leaked instragram images. There is a video (see link at the bottom)

But today BA has confirmed that their new food offerings will be provided on their Heathrow to New York, JFK flights on 1 September. The new offerings will be provided on new table layouts and from new display trollies.
