Beginning in early 2026, American will start serving Lavazza’s premium coffee blends across all cabins on flights, and in Admirals Clubs and Flagship Lounges.
Weeks after the airline announced a partnership with Bollinger. Fun times in the beverage department at American.
British Airways is proudly celebrating the launch of its new lounge design concept with the opening of two new lounges on its global network, marking a significant step change in the airline’s premium offering.
Working in partnership with global architecture and design firm Gensler, these openings debut the flag carrier’s new design concept that will serve as the vision for future lounge developments.
These look inviting. Each lounge has been designed for the city it lives in, which means Art Deco in Miami and “traditional Middle Eastern design” in Dubai. A refreshing change from the design-once, use-everywhere approach BA has taken before.
Miami travelers will soon have two world-class lounges to choose from.

Qatar Airways will return to Canberra in December 2025, reconnecting the Australian capital with Doha and beyond as the Gulf airline boosts flights across its global network.
These daily Canberra flights won’t be direct to Doha – they’ll run via Melbourne, as an extension of the current QR988/QR989 service, with the 18-hour trek being broken up by a 2½ Melbourne stopover in both directions.
