Sodexo‘s hospitality and events brand Sodexo Live! is improving its offering across eight British Airways lounges at US airports under an expanded partnership with the airline.
The lounges are located at San Francisco (SFO) Terminal A, Chicago O’Hare (ORD) Terminal 5, Philadelphia (PHL) Concourse A West, Washington Dulles (IAD) Concourse B, Baltimore/Washington (BWI) Terminal E, Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) S Concourse, Newark Liberty (EWR) Terminal B and Boston Logan (BOS) Terminal E.
Sodexo Live! plans to introduce new food and drinks menus in the coming months as part of the extended alliance.
Several ‘British favourites’ will be added to the menus of each lounge. Some of these items include a British afternoon tea that features Twinings tea.
Pre-flight options will also include more nutritious alternatives to traditional airport fare.
Sodexo plans to include city-specific epicurean delights and each lounge with a bespoke setting will offer area-influenced dishes that have been locally sourced.
