One very special year in Miami ✨   One year ago, we opened our Miami Lounge, introducing our new lounge design concept and a more premium and seamless pre-flight experience.    Since then, we’ve welcome more than 100,000 customers through the doors, poured 8,346 bottles of sparkling wine and Champagne, served more than 22,000 pasta dishes in Club Dining, while the Concorde Burger has been chosen 1,451 times!   And Miami is helping shape what comes next. Our new lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 C Gates and completely redesigned Heathrow Arrivals lounge will build on the design concept first unveiled here.   From Miami to Heathrow, we’re continuing to transform the experience for our customers at every stage of their journey ✈️   Swipe through some of our favourite snaps of the lounge below 👇   #BritishAirways #CustomerExperience #Transformation

A new First amenity kit, shaped by British craftsmanship, wellbeing expertise and thoughtful design ✨ We're proud to introduce our new First amenity kit, created in partnership with British luxury house Swaine and skincare brand Wildsmith Skin. Designed exclusively for First, the new amenity kit pairs a bespoke Swaine bag, inspired by the elegant luggage of early air travel, with a curated collection of skincare from Wildsmith. Together, they will help customers feel more comfortable, hydrated and rested throughout their journey. Drawing on more than 275 years of craftsmanship, Swaine has created a design that blends British heritage with contemporary luxury. Meanwhile, Wildsmith has curated a collection inspired by its expertise in skin health, wellbeing and the body's natural rhythms, helping customers feel their best while travelling. Together, the two brands have created a distinctly British collaboration that combines craftsmanship, wellbeing and thoughtful design in one of the most personal elements of the First experience. Victoria Schuster, Director of Customer Experience at British Airways, said: "Every detail of our new First experience has been carefully considered to help create a more thoughtful and restorative journey for our customers. That's why we're delighted to partner with two exceptional British brands, Wildsmith and Swaine, each renowned for their craftsmanship and quality. Together, these partnerships help us deliver an experience that feels premium and distinctly British at 35,000ft” Monty Lowry Corry, Brand Director at Swaine, said: "Travel and Swaine are one and the same. Movement has always been at the heart of our story. It is therefore a pleasure to bring this heritage and craftsmanship to British Airways' new First experience. The amenity kit takes its inspiration from the elegant luggage of early air travel, reinterpreting distinctive details from Swaine's archive for the modern traveller. We are delighted to see Swaine become part of the British Airways experience." Katherine Pye, Wildsmith, said: "At Wildsmith, we believe travel should enhance wellbeing, not compromise it. When developing this collection with British Airways, we looked beyond skincare to consider the full impact that travel can have on how people feel, rest and recover. Inspired by our expertise in circadian wellbeing, we curated a collection that supports hydration, comfort and restoration throughout the journey, helping passengers arrive at their destination feeling their very best." Available from 6 October, the new First amenity kit includes a face mist, hand and body lotion, ceramide multi-balm, lip balm, face cream and overnight mask, housed within a bespoke Swaine bag available in navy blue and cream. Customers can also take their Swaine amenity kit to Swaine's New Bond Street store and have it embossed with their initials, creating a personalised keepsake that extends the experience beyond the flight. #First
