British Airways have really upped their game when it comes to in-flight entertainment. In a special performance at 47,000 feet, the world’s most successful classical singer, Katherine Jenkins, put on a world-first performance.

Alongside the classical singer were dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet who treated the passengers of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a live ballet performance through the aisle as they hurtled towards Moscow. You can watch the mesmerising performance in the video below.

Sadly, I don’t think this is the new standard for British Airways’ in-flight entertainment. Although it would make travel much more enjoyable, it would also probably cost a lot more too. However, this isn’t the first time British Airways have got creative with live shows during flights.
