British Airways to Australia

The Far East and Australia will have a revised schedule this winter for British Airways, which will change again at the start of the summer season 2012.  From next April onwards the airline is dropping the through flight to Sydney via Bangkok, BA009 from T3, passengers deplaning at that point in any event, and then re-boarding on to a Qantas aircraft itself turning around.  

The general opinion is that for passengers going straight through Singapore is a more popular half way point than Bangkok.  To Singapore there will be two flights daily, one a 747 going through to Sydney.

Tokyo gets a daily to Narita and also a daily to Haneda.  Hong Kong increases from 14 a week to 17.  Both Hong Kong and Tokyo use Terminal 5 at Heathrow. www.ba.com
