Which?

You might think that British Airways' status as the UK’s national flag carrier means it offers a superior flying experience, but our research suggests otherwise.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we compare British Airways with its main long-haul competitor, Virgin Atlantic, to see whether BA still deserves to represent the UK in the skies. From seat width and fleet age to food quality and business class lounges, we reveal how both airlines perform in our extensive customer surveys.
Our results show that British Airways is outclassed by Virgin on almost every passenger metric from value for money to airport lounges, leaving its massive global route network as its only clear advantage.

You might think that the only difference between drinks bought at high street coffee shops is the taste and the flavour, but our research suggests otherwise.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we bring you the results of our investigation into caffeinated drinks bought at some of the UK’s favourite coffee shops, which reveals varying caffeine levels between Caffè Nero, Costa, Greggs, Pret and Starbucks.
Our results show that where you buy your coffee from could make a big difference to your daily caffeine intake, with some high street coffees containing nearly four times as much caffeine as others.
This episode is read by Shefalee Loth and is based on an article she wrote with Ayesha Muttucumaru, originally published in the October 2026 issue of Which? magazine.

The number of pensioners getting divorced is on the rise, but hardly any of us actually understand what happens to our pensions when a marriage ends.
In this episode, Which? pensions expert Holly Lanyon reveals the results of a Which? Survey which shows that just 3% of married couples have talked about what would happen to their pensions if they got divorced - compared to 50% who’d spoken about what would happen upon death.
Holly explains the different options for how pensions can be split on divorce, including pension sharing and pension offsetting, and why it’s so important for married couples to understand the rules.
Holly shares some more data that shows that the number of pensioners in poverty is on the rise, with divorced retirees - particularly women - making up a greater number than married couples.
Plus, James Buchan from the Which? legal team outlines the logistics of how a divorce a works, and how it can affect your will and power of attorney.
