Indulge in cheerful sips of Noël Impérial blue tea, evocative of a banquet table full of the most extraordinary delicacies, and rooibos blended from rich fruit and rare spices. Paired with exquisite, tea-infused amuse-bouches and pâtisserie – croustade of festive poultry, cranberries and chestnuts, freshly baked Parisian scones with candied orange, Opéra matcha-yuzu cake – it’s a Christmas celebration of fairy tales. Must be booked by 5 January 2026. Enter by 23:59 GMT on 1 December 2025.

Famous for its vibrant Blood Orange cider that’s crafted from sweet apples and zesty citrus, British Airways’ partner Thatchers Cider has impressed since 1904 (its cider tours and tastings speak for themselves). But the family-owned cider maker in Somerset has more up its sleeve than its unrivalled nectar, which is now on board British Airways flights.

Thatchers’ award-winning on-site pub and restaurant, The Railway Inn, serves organically farmed fare and views of the rolling Mendip Hills from its traditional oak-framed dining room. Top tip: for a stunning post-cider retreat, The Langford Inn – dating back to the 17th century – is just a seven-minute taxi ride away. Think it can’t get better? Thatchers is also offering a ride in its iconic hot air balloon, operated by First Flight, over beautiful landmarks such as Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Tor.   

All the above magic is up for grabs, including a 90-minute hot air balloon ride for two (locations to choose from include Bath, Bristol and Glastonbury), a two-hour cider tour and tasting, food and drinks up to the value of £150 at The Railway Inn pub, and an overnight stay at The Langford in one of its ten boutique bedrooms – all worth a total of £850.

The hot air balloon ride is weather dependant. The Langford Inn will do its best to uphold flexible room reservations should the flight be cancelled, however in the case of last-minute cancellations, room reservations cannot always be changed. Promoter: British Airways
