Boost in London-New York flights

 

 
Increased frequency between Heathrow and New York is being scheduled by Continental Airlines.
 
The carrier is also introducing flat bed seats in its business class cabin.
 
An early-evening departure from London to New York/Newark will be introduced from March 28 for the first time. 
 
This fourth daily flight will be supplemented by a fifth daily service in October from Heathrow Terminal 4.
 
This will bring the total number of daily departures from Heathrow to seven, including twice-daily flights to Houston.
 
All aircraft from Heathrow will feature new flat bed seats in BusinessFirst from June 2.
 
The US airline’s chairman, president and CEO Jeff Smisek said: "Heathrow-New York is a flagship route for Continental. 
 
"As the leading airline in the New York market, we are excited about introducing these schedule and product improvements for our London-New York travellers.
 
"All our London-New York customers will benefit from more flight options, while those travelling in BusinessFirst - whether to New York or Houston - will be assured of a flat bed seat whenever they choose to fly with us."
