Photocap: BA's big bird comes JNB

British Airways celebrated the launch of its new A380 on the Johannesburg route with a
Champagne afternoon tea, served by the Saxon Hotel, a fashion show by Harrods, and a
performance by Freshly Ground – all at a 30 000 feet up in the sky. To mark the start of its
A380 services between London and Johannesburg, BA is offering a special with return fares
starting from R9 920 in World Traveller class and R18 404 in World Traveller Plus. Special
offers are also available for Paris, New York, and Toronto. Fares include taxes, fees and carrier
charges but may fluctuate due to currency exchange rates. The launch special runs until
February 22, with outbound travel between February 13 and March 31. See next week’s TNW
for more on BA’s new A380. Celebrating with bubbly are the BA Comair team (from left):
