Paddington Bear to travel on BA flights

Young passengers on British Airways l long-haul flights from February half-term will be accompanied by a certain well-travelled children's character as the airline launches a new entertainment option on services from Heathrow
The carrier will offer new activity bags that have been designed to look like the famous suitcase owned by Paddington Bear.
Known as 'skyflyer packs', the bags will be available to children between the ages of three and five and will contain an activity book, stickers and crayons.
The BA inflight entertainment system will also be showing Paddington Bear programmes.
Older children, between the ages of six and 12, will receive a neoprene pencil case on the airline's long-haul flights, including a pack of playing cards and a magazine filled with features, puzzles and interesting facts from around the world.
Last year, more than 1.6m children and over 300,000 babies travelled with their families on   BA flights around the world.
