British Airways are set to start flying to Las Vegas daily from Heathrow. Virgin Atlantic already fly direct to Las Vegas from Gatwick and BA are set to follow suit in a few weeks time, only with even greater frequency.
For such a popular destination, Las Vegas is served by relatively few direct flights from the UK. Many travellers are forced to transfer and make use of flights from Frankfurt. BA’s new route should put those days in the past.
Another airline beginning a regular service to the popular US destination is the small French carrier, XL Airways. The airline only has five planes in its entire fleet, but it is going to offer two flights a week from Paris.
