British Airways heads to Toronto and Las Vegas

British Airways has announced it will be adding another two new transatlantic routes to its summer 2018 schedule at Gatwick. Toronto (pictured) in Canada, will be taking to the air from May 1, with three flights per week, and Las Vegas will be returning with three flights a week from March 27 next year.

The new flight to Toronto will be British Airways’ first flight to Canada from Gatwick. The Las Vegas route, which already operates from Heathrow, is apparently in such high demand that the airline will now offer a service from the two biggest London airports to give customers access to a greater number of seats and a choice of departure airports.

Summer 2018 fares on the Toronto flights in World Traveller will start from £453 return and fares to Las Vegas from Gatwick will start from £699 return, including taxes and charges.

BA say £400m will be spent on Club World with an emphasis on improved catering and sleep, and a new seat in the future. At Heathrow, a First Wing check-in area with direct security and lounge access has launched, and lounges around the airline’s network are to be revamped and improved. The Club Europe cabin has also been introduced on UK domestic services.

All flights are eligible for Avios frequent flyer miles.
