British Airways to start A380 service to LA in October

From November, a second superjumbo Airbus will be flying to Hong Kong. The airline has also started taking bookings for this flight.

Return bookings for the London-Los Angeles flight start at €632 for Economy and go up to €2,796 for Business Class.

The London-Hong Kong route will be launched on November 15. A return trip will set passengers back €614 in Economy and up to €2,087 in Business Class.

The British Airways A380 will be able to carry 469 passengers including 14 in First Class and 97 in Business Class. A Superior Economy Class (55 seats) will also be available. The first aircraft is due for delivery in July.

These two new aircrafts mean that the British airline is the ninth in the world to use the Airbus A380. Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Air France, Lufthansa, Qantas, Korean Air, China Southern and more recently, Malaysian Airlines are the privileged few to use the superjumbo Airbus.
