A Flight Crewed by Harry and Meghan by British Airways

The UK’s flag carrier, British Airways, celebrated the event by crewing a flight to Toronto solely with employees called Harry or Meghan (or Megan).
Why Toronto? It’s where Meghan Markle spent much of the past few years, living in the city while filming the TV series “Suits.”
The 10-strong cabin crew, made up of two Harry’s, seven Megan’s and one Meghan left London’s Heathrow Airport at 1310, one hour after the wedding, on 19 May. Extra champagne and cake was loaded onto the flight and every passenger was given a personal bottle of Castelnau Blanc du Blanc.
In addition, anyone called Megan or Harry was invited to use the British Airways First Class lounge at Terminal 5.
Finally, customers on long-haul flights will be able to watch episodes of the Toronto-shot TV series Suits, enjoy documentaries and podcasts about how Harry and Meghan met and the history of Windsor Castle.
British Airways came up with an idea which resulted in getting worldwide media pick-up - for example by Stuff (New Zealand), the Daily Mail, Reuters and America’s Fox News.
