The Business Traveller Awards have been a highlight of the business travel and hospitality calendar for more than 25 years, and are voted for by readers of the magazine. Results are authenticated by an independent auditing company, and are widely recognised as the market’s benchmark for excellence, so we're extremely pleased to have picked up two awards at the 2011 awards ceremony.

We were voted Best Premium Economy and Best Airport Lounge for our Heathrow Clubhouse.

We're proud to announce that the readers of Conde Nast Traveller voted us the Best Long Haul Leisure Airline at the 2011 Conde Nast Traveller Awards, winning across the board with high marks for luggage handling, convenience of scheduling and punctuality and efficiency.

We have also won the 'Best in Region: Europe 2011' Award for IFE content at the annual Airline Passenger Experience Awards ceremony held in Seattle recently.
These awards are the benchmark for excellence in the IFE industry and mean even more to us because they are voted for by the travelling public and are designed to recognise airlines for their service, products and innovations.
