Why this popular airline is the royal family’s go-to

Many of the Royal Family members travel the world for trips and official state visits. While we sometimes see royals disembarking from private planes, they are known to use commercial

flights - and there’s one airline that is their usual choice when travelling abroad. British Airways is usually the chosen airline carrier for the British Royal Family and it’s been

championed by the royals as a show of solidarity for British brands. Prince William and Kate Middleton are often seen flying with British Airways, with the Duchess of Cambridge opting for BA

for her first solo tour in 2016. More recently, Prince Harry was spotted on a British Airways flight earlier this year, as he ventured from London Heathrow to Vancouver, Canada.

Unfortunately for royal fans, they’re unlikely to bump into the Queen on a British Airways flight. The Queen has reduced her air travel over the years and opts to do national engagements

where she travels via the Royal Train. Her Majesty first flew on a British Airways plane in 1952, when she found out about her father’s death. READ MORE: TURKEY TRAVEL WARNING: FCO WARNS

BRITONS AFTER FATAL PLANE CRASH DEVASTATION The etiquette rules mean the person not only has good posture but also appears engaged with what is in front of them. While they hold their chin

up they can also hold onto the rail as they descend to sturdy themselves. Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette, told The Sun: “Holding your chin parallel helps maintain posture while

sitting, standing, walking and descending stairs. “When your chin points down or up it gives the impression that you’re not paying attention or not interested in what’s happening. Ms Meier

said: “Men follow the same guidelines. Often you will see the male royals walk a step or two slightly in front of the female royal, which is excellent etiquette, as he is trying to walk

ahead so he can lend support if she trips, especially while wearing heels walking down stairs. “Sometimes you will see The Duke of Cambridge extending a hand backwards while walking down

stairs for The Duchess of Cambridge to illustrate the care he is taking while descending stairs by her side.”
