British Airways private flight to New York?

Recently, the new airline Odyssey Airlines stated that in the course of this year it will start flights from London City Airport, located in central London, to various international destinations, with airplanes Airbus A220 with only 40 class sleeper seats Business.

Although the airline is just getting started, flights from London City on class-only aircraft Business they are not new, British Airways offered them to New York for several years, for which he had airplanes Airbus A318 dedicated, configured for only 32 passengers. The service was suspended last year due to the absolute drop in demand, as it is fully focused on business passengers, with the convenience of leaving from the center of London with a service of high standards, to avoid the hassle of having to do the journey to Heathrow Airport, over an hour away from the city’s financial center. British in fact decommissioned the planes, so it will not resume service.

But here is a video that illustrates this special service for business travelers. Sam Chui took this flight in August 2019 and shows what Odyssey’s future business is all about, though here he shows us British Airways Club World service.

As an additional note, on the stretch to New York the plane could not leave London City with all the necessary fuel, so it had to make a stopover in Shannon, Ireland, for refueling and pass US migration from New York. I did fly non-stop to London. But the Odyssey A220 is capable of non-stop flight to New York and other points on the east coast of the US and Canada.
