On March 3rd, British Airways celebrates a milestone—ten years of non-stop flights connecting Austin and London Heathrow—with a remarkable culinary tribute.
In honor of this anniversary, British Airways has partnered with Austin’s renowned Franklin Barbecue to craft a bespoke BA-BQ sauce. This limited-edition condiment is presented exclusively to Club World guests departing Austin for London throughout the month of March.
Passengers on these anniversary flights are treated to a curated Texas-style barbecue menu created to showcase the distinctive flavors that have made Austin a global food destination. The inflight dining experience includes signature barbecue entrees, blending local tradition with British Airways’ elevated service standards at 35,000 feet.
Throughout March, Club World and World Traveller Plus travelers savor a slow-smoked brisket entrée, while World Traveller guests are offered a smoky chicken barbecue selection—each dish highlighting authentic Texan ingredients and Franklin Barbecue’s celebrated techniques.
Since launching the Austin-London route on March 3rd, 2014, British Airways has expanded its US network to 26 direct gateways, deploying the state-of-the-art A350 on daily flights between these vibrant cities.
This transatlantic service has become essential for discerning business and leisure travelers drawn to Austin’s eclectic arts, live music, and, of course, its legendary barbecue culture.
The special anniversary menu and Franklin Barbecue sauce are available on all Austin-London departures from March 1st to 31st, with exclusive sauce bottles offered to Club World guests while supplies last. Discover our in-depth review of British Airways Business Class
