British Airways has just partnered with Audible to offer free onboard access to over 250 hours of podcasts and audiobooks on long-haul flights. The content prioritizes family-friendly content that is primarily published and distributed in the United Kingdom. This includes titles such as Harry Potter full-cast audio editions, Audible’s adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, The Little Mermaid, Ghost Stories: Stephen Fry’s Definitive Collection, and Hot White Heist.
“Spoken-word entertainment has surged in popularity over the past few years, and our collaboration with Audible brings an exciting new chapter to our in-flight entertainment offering,” said British Airways’ Director of Marketing, Hamish McVey. “This collaboration introduces millions of customers to endless new content from leading authors and podcasters, with more than a quarter of the collection celebrating exceptional British talent. From gripping fiction and family favorites to wellbeing podcasts, we hope everyone finds something they’ll love during their flight.”
