Delicious wines. 

 The champagne options are Champagne Henriot Brut Souverain NV, Champagne de Castelnau Brut Réserve NV and Champagne de Castelnau Brut Rosé NV.

The second phase of the investment will begin in autumn when new bedding will be introduced in partnership with The White Company.

The iconic British retailer will supply bedding including an elegant day cushion, a bespoke, luxuriously soft large pillow, a super-soft woven blanket with satin trim and a specially developed luxury duvet, as well as new amenity kits.

The revamped Club World catering and sleep experience will be rolled out across the airline’s long-haul network throughout 2018.
