Clive Thompson left this review about Flight BA2012 Bar

Although this is only a temporary bar, last day 18th April 2012, it deserves a mention if only for novelty value. It's located in a beaten up building on Shoreditch High Street but they have certainly spent some money on the interior. It has been opened by British Airways to celebrate their link to the London 2012 Olympics and showcases three different arts. First is the Dove design that will feature on some of BA's aircraft during the Summer. There is also a restaurant with a Michelin star chef serving a new menu designed for BA flights (First Class only presumably). Finally there is a short 15 minute film called Boy starring Timothy Spall. The bar area has the feel of a gallery to it with, unsurprisingly, an aviation theme. Staff are all decked out in cabin crew livery which adds to the atmosphere. The small bar has no draught beer but bottles are available, Heineken at £4 a bottle. An interesting place for a short visit and it will no doubt delight all the Shoreditch wannabee trendy set.
