Escape Magazine Winter 2025

AIRPLANE MODE: ON. Every holiday’s first adventure is the flight. In the UK, we’re fortunate to have more than a dozen international airports in cities including London , Birmingham , Manchester , Newcastle , Edinburgh , Glasgow , and Belfast . And we can take to the skies using any of Skytrax’s World’s Top 10 Airlines . Talking of global airlines, Qatar Airways , Singapore Airlines , and Emirates are just a few choices, including the trusted home brands of British Airways and Virgin Atlantic . UK travellers have never had a better choice of how they fly. And that’s all before you consider the four different cabin options !

BUSINESS

Sip Champagne and relax on seats that convert into beds. Choose Qatar Airways, Qantas, Emirates, or Korean Air and pass your journey sipping signature cocktails in an onboard bar.

CABIN COMFORT

FIRST

Designer pyjamas, private showers, and personalised meals. Flying First Class is like staying in a luxury hotel. Pick Etihad Airways or Singapore Airlines for a double-bed suite in the sky.

ECONOMY

For the best price ticket , you’ll still enjoy delicious meals, complimentary drinks, and seatback entertainment systems. Upgrade your Air New Zealand flight and turn an Economy row into a single bed with the innovative Skycouch™ .

NEW ROUTES The world gets closer every year with new routes regularly announced. In 2024, London Gatwick reconnected with Southeast Asia through British Airways flights to Bangkok and five Singapore Airlines departures a week. 2025 sees Air Canada add flights from London Heathrow to Ottawa . And, in 2026, Qantas will expand ‘Project Sunrise’ with a direct London-Sydney flight .

DID YOU KNOW? Staying connected at 40,000 feet is easier than ever with high-speed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth now available on many airlines.

PREMIUM ECONOMY Upgrade for less on airlines including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, and Singapore Airlines . Enjoy more space in a smaller cabin with gourmet food, often served on real china plates.
