Viva Las Vegas
British Airways is launching new services from London Heathrow to Las Vegas on October 25, 2009.
The daily service will be operated by a three class Boeing 777 offering new Club World with fully flat beds.
Richard Tams, British Airways Head of UK&I Sales said: "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 its worth.
"Despite the difficult global economic conditions, Las Vegas represents new business and growth opportunities for BA as we continue our commitment to invest in our customers."
This brings the number of cities in the US served by the airline to 19.
Tickets will be on sale from £467 including taxes, fees and charges from Monday May 18 through ba.com and direct through BA reservations on 0844 493 0787.
