London City to New York

BRITISH AIRWAYS, as predicted last week by AERBT, has published details of its London City Airport – Kennedy New York twice daily air service.  Take-off day is Tuesday 29 September.  Bookings have now opened and the services have been designated with the old Concorde flight numbers, BA001 for the 12:40 departure (arrives 17:05) and BA003 for the 16:00 (20:25).  In the reverse direction the timings are BA002 18:30 (07:05 next day) and BA004 21:50 (10:25).  Westbound the flight takes about two hours longer than from Heathrow and eastbound 30 minutes plus.  Fares start at UKP1,901 return for a very restricted offering.  The business tariff begins at UKP4,912 and a fully flexible ticket is UKP5,625.  The service is only flown six days per week, London City Airport closed on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. www.ba.com
