British Airways Rolls Out Red Carpet for A380 Superjumbo
The British Airways A380 will take
to the skies for its first long haul flight tomorrow (Tuesday 24
September) on the BA269 to Los Angeles at 4.15pm. It will be the first and only
A380 aircraft to operate between London and Los Angeles.
To mark the launch of the new
service, passengers in Terminal 5 had to double take, as George Clooney,
Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig look-a-likes checked in early for the flight.
Passengers on the inaugural will be treated to music from Melanie C and Matt Cardle performing live in Terminal 5, ahead of the flight’s departure.
Dubbed the ‘red carpet route’ for its glamour, style and direct route to Tinseltown, British Airways’ A380 already has a string of celebrity fans. These include Hollywood actress Thandie Newton who described it as “a grand hotel in the sky”, as well as actress Gemma Arterton, model Georgia May Jagger and South African rugby player Bryan Habana - all frequent fliers who helped to launch the route.
