British Airways played host to a group of Academy students at London Heathrow airport to enjoy their very own day of 'in-flight entertainment'.
They spent the day on board a mock aircraft to experience a day in the life of an air steward.Their task was to simulate completing onboard services in different languages to highlight the importance of learning a foreign language when considering a career in the travel and hospitality industry.
The were able to wear the BA uniform to make sure the day was as authentic as possible and concluded in a guided tour of the brand new terminal 5.
All the students enjoyed the day, and enormous thanks to the language department for organising such a fantastic event.
