London's more than landmarks.

And when you’re flying with the best crew in the sky, you’ll feel it the moment you take off. Mid-flight meditation? Just one more way we set you up to experience everything from a whole new angle.

Travel isn’t ticking boxes.

It's a jam session in Soho, a market on Portobello Road, and deer spotting in Richmond Park. It’s a rebel city - with a gentleman’s soul. Tourist spots and high tea is just the start. 

It’s getting gloriously lost in Brixton Market. Finding your new favourite craft beer in Hackney. Claiming the perfect picnic spot in Victoria Park. Or daring to try the jellied eels (we double dare you). This is London, like the locals do.  Because the moments that stay with you? They’re usually the ones you didn’t plan for.

The adventure starts before you even land.  It’s not just where you go. It’s how you see it. 

See the world differently

We want everyone to feel like they belong and take pride in what makes them special. Everyone’s welcome onboard, and we encourage you to be wonderfully, unapologetically yourself.

And the same goes for our crew. That's why our famous Vivienne Westwood uniform is now gender-free, make-up is optional and tattoos can be worn with pride. As the beating heart of what we do, our crew are our superheros of the sky – with the power to make your journey the most memorable.

Because being brilliantly different is what we do. It’s who we are. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Flying on your mind?

Wherever you are, you're not far away from a flight to London. We fly direct to the UK from a whole range of places in the USA, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and more.

Thrill seekers only

Climb up to the top of a 17th-century church for panoramic views, or glide through the parks on an electric scooter. There’s no shortage of oh-so-civilised thrills (and others more high-octane) in the heart of the city.

Secret eats

Pie n’ mash from an East End shack, fish and chips with a twist, or the best dim sum you've never heard of. London’s food scene’s like nowhere else on earth – and you’ll be surprised how good it tastes.

Go offbeat

Catch an impromptu club night in the heart of Shoreditch, or head to a legendary jazz joint where the swing flows as freely as the drinks. London’s music scene is jam-packed with surprises. Find yours.

Hidden hangouts

Leave the hustle behind, and tuck yourself away in a secret garden in Belgravia, or find a cozy bookshop in Marylebone (pronounced maa-luh-bn darling) - where the vibe’s as inviting as the stories on the shelves.

Making a world of difference

From the air we fly through to the food on your tray table, we’re challenging ourselves to do better at every step. That means flying one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets in the skies. It means pioneering the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - and becoming the first commercial airline to cross the Atlantic using 100% SAF in 2023.

Onboard, it’s the little things that add up. Like amenity kits made from responsibly sourced and recyclable materials. Bamboo toothbrushes instead of plastic ones. A pre-order meal service that helps us reduce waste (and cut down on food envy). Every detail’s been thought through, from fair-farmed ingredients to forest-friendly packaging.

We’ve already cut 90% of single-use virgin plastic on board by weight - that’s around 60 million items. And we’re not stopping there.

Because seeing the world differently means looking after it, too.
