Why Do Formula 1 Drivers Fly British Airways?

Why Do Formula 1 Drivers Fly British Airways?

In this episode of On-Air, Dan and Alex reunite in person to unpack a whirlwind week in aviation—from Dan’s British Airways First Class flight review and George Russell’s surprise airline choice, to Emirates’ meticulous First Class crew training and the shocking collapse of Icelandic airline PLAY. They dive deep into how corporate travel loyalty (hello, F1 teams and Apple) shapes airline strategy, the art of onboard service from Emirates to BA, and why cutbacks like the removal of Club Europe hot meals spark passenger frustration. Plus: the future of Boeing’s next-gen aircraft, airline AI waste reduction, low-cost long-haul woes, and which airline loyalty programs offer the best elite benefits across Oneworld, Star Alliance, and SkyTeam. With fascinating facts (like why we clink glasses) and industry insights, this episode is a must-listen for aviation geeks, frequent flyers, and anyone obsessed with premium cabins, loyalty programs, or inflight dining drama.
