CRAWLEY, England, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
British Airways debuted the upcoming four class cabin
experience on the route from London Heathrow to Moscow. From March
25, British Airways will be the first airline to offer
customers First class travel between London and Moscow, as well as Club World, World Traveller
Plus and World Traveller onboard a daily Boeing 747 service.
Richard Tams, head of UK and
Ireland sales and marketing, said:
"Customers in all cabins, especially First and Club World, will be
able to enjoy a top-class customer experience and the best premium
travel between London and
Moscow."
The new long-haul flights to Moscow will be the shortest in the
British Airways network and takes just four hours.
As well as operating a daily Boeing 747 service, British Airways
is also putting two daily long-haul Boeing 767s on the route to
replace the existing short-haul service.
The change of aircraft means the route will change from a
short-haul service operated with two cabins to a long-haul
operation, offering customers up to four classes of travel, with
the opportunity to enjoy the premium service, fully flat-beds,
comprehensive in-flight entertainment and wide selection of meals
and drinks in unrivalled comfort.

of hotels in the capital.

Anderson flew on the preview flight this week to launch the
new service from British Airways.

first time I've travelled to Moscow and I'm delighted more people can now
do the same in the luxury of British Airways First Class. Flying
British Airways feels like a little bit of Britain and I always look forward to flying
with them especially when
coming home."
