While many of us have postponed or cancelled our winter breaks this year, there are still ways to get your hands on that holiday feeling.

You can even simulate your very own flight, buying memorabilia from British Airways flights including crockery and socks.

The carrier is selling off a number of items of surplus stock to raise extra cash, after their parent company IAG reported a £5.1 billion loss for the first nine months of 2020.

Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ director of brand and customer experience, said it was the first time the airline had held such a sale.

‘We know that these special items will fly and we are delighted to be able to offer them in time for Christmas to give people the opportunity to make it memorable during a difficult year,’ she said.

If you want to get your hands on some of the items, head to WhatABuy.

From there, you can choose between First Class, Club World, or General items to buy.

Prices start from just £5, and go up to £250 for a large trolley.

Our top picks in First Class include William Edwards crockery, with a set of four pasta bowls costing £40 or a set of six teacups at £25.

In Club World, you can get a set of six bread baskets for just £10, or five pairs of socks for only £5.

Then, in general, the champagne flutes are the star of the show. For £6, you get a set of six, and can recreate that first glass of bubbles as you take off on your vacation.

The trolleys and trays are probably more suited to air travel enthusiasts, but make a lovely piece of history for those who are into their aeronautical mementoes.
