BRITISH AIRWAYS CELEBRATES “ROYAL LONDON”

Following the recent success of ‘The King’s Speech’, and the Royal Wedding on the horizon, 2011 will no doubt go down as a “Royal Year”. London is preparing itself for an influx of travellers eager to catch a glimpse of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and British Airways wants to ensure everyone can experience the excitement this Spring.

Return trips to London from Ghana - excluding all taxes, fees and surcharges - available for as little as $499 with Business Class available from just $1,499.
On what is sure to be a quintessentially-British occasion, visitors to London will be able to catch a glimpse of the bride on her way to Westminster Abbey, and will witness first-hand the carriage procession from the wedding ceremony to Buckingham Palace. Travellers will have the opportunity to partake in the revelry of a British street party and other celebrations, as a public holiday will mark the day throughout Britain.

Spring is the perfect time to visit London, with visitors to the capital able to take advantage of the wide range of shopping destinations, or enjoying the mild weather in one of the many beautiful parks.

British Airways manager for Ghana, Paul Dhami said in a statement that the airline is anticipating increased activity around the Easter break, and advance bookings are encouraging. “Our customers are using our website, ba.com, not only to book and manage other aspects of their flights, but also to find out what the top attractions will be in the UK this season,” added Dhami.

Dhami noted that customers who are seeking their individual “royal” experiences are opting for the airline’s recently launched first class service. “Our First product has set the standard for premium travel out of Ghana - the onboard experience is in a class of its own, and it continues upon arrival at Heathrow Terminal 5; where customers can enjoy our world class arrivals lounges,” he explained.
Other top ‘Royal’ attractions in London not to be missed include: Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Royal Academy of Art, among others
