Rumour - BA to start LHR-LAS VEGAS

So a bit of competition with Virgin.

Flights to start 25th October, no First Class though.

I am amazed that given the amount of Brits visiting Vegas, we have only had one direct flight to Vegas for so long (excusing bmi's small effort from Manchester).

Hopefully its true, be good to get competition on the direct routeing. The MyTravel/Thomas Cook charters each summer do very well, I am sure there is a market for another direct service, even if its not daily.

The one that is the cheapest!! But my money is on them leaning towards VS because of the hip factor. Me, I would never fly that rust bucket from LGW again.
Great news though, can we have a link as to your source?

With prices starting at $461 plus taxes of £300-350 they ain't gonna be cheap.

There is a long thread on it at FLYERTALK and they are saying the seats are bookable on the 18th May, however there is some confusion as to wether it's going to be a 3 or 4 class configuration.
