BA to launch non-stop service to Las Vegas

British Airways is launching a new service from London Heathrow to Las Vegas on October 25. The new daily service will be operated by a three-class B777 offering the new Club World with fully flat beds. "We know how to fly high rollers in style and we will be the only airline to fly non-stop from Terminal 5. It is the ace in our pack and we are going to play it for all it’s worth," said Richard Tams, British Airways head of UK and Ireland sales. Jeanette Phillips (jeanettep@nowmedia.co.za)
