The royal family are no stranger to luxury travel, jet-setting across the globe in chartered royal jets and lounging in 'secret' VIP suites before they board - but the Prince and Princess of Wales have also been known to fly on commercial airlines on occasion (first class, of course).
The British royals like to support their own country and tend to fly British Airways when they do fly commercial, with flights known to cost anything up to £10,000 for long haul trips.
If there are no BA flights available, they have been known to travel more economically - Prince Harry and Prince William both flew budget airlines back from their cousin Zara Tindall's wedding in 2011, while the Princess of Wales flew FlyBe with her three children in 2019.
Wherever possible, however, the royals will fly in premium seats when travelling on official royal duties. But what do the royals eat when they're dining at 30,000 ft?
The first-class menu onboard British Airways is described as: "A dining experience featuring signature dishes made with quality British ingredients, delivered with impeccable service."

Written on top of BA's fine dining menu reads: "We've worked with top chefs, suppliers, and nutritionists to create 'Height Cuisine'. The result is the finest food and drink that will give you the fullest flavours at altitude," all paired perfectly with a selection of wines.
