BA expands Heathrow-Philadelphia service
British Airways has announced an increase in its schedule from Heathrow to Philadelphia International Airport in spring 2018, growing the service from seven flights to 10 flights each week.
From April 2018, BA will operate an additional flight on Monday, Friday and Sunday, departing at 5pm and arriving in Philadelphia at 7.55pm local time, with the return journey to London departing Philadelphia at 10pm and arriving in London at 10:15am the next morning.
The flight will operate on British Airways’ newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, offering passengers the choice of World Traveller, World Traveller Plus and Club World cabins.
Along with additional international flights, 2018 will also bring a 20% increase in hotel inventory to Philadelphia, including the Four Seasons, located in the new Comcast Innovation Tower and Starwood’s new dual-branded W and Element hotels.
