British Airways Adds First Class to Heathrow-Vegas Flight

British Airways is introducing first class on its popular Las Vegas route next summer (from June 1, 2011) and increasing capacity by 18 percent. The direct daily flight from Terminal 5 at Heathrow was launched a year ago and operated by a three-class Boeing 777.

A four-class B747 offering BA’s First cabin will replace it. By moving to a B747, BA will be sending an additional 124 seats on every roundtrip. Each flight will now have 14 seats in first class.
