British Airways is to start 12 services a week between Heathrow and Paris Orly to complement its flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle. The flights to Paris Orly will begin on January 10, 2011 and seats went on sale November 16.
Colm Lacy, British Airways’ general manager network planning, said: "This is an excellent addition to our shorthaul network, allowing business travellers easy access to the Paris financial district which is close to Orly airport. Customers will also be able to make smooth connections on to BA subsidiary OpenSkies’ services between Orly and the United States, and on to oneworld partner, Iberia."
The route will be served by A319s, A320s and A321s and will offer two classes to choose from, Euro Traveller and Club Europe.
Customers selecting the Club Europe cabin can take advantage of Terminal 5’s excellent lounge facilities, allowing them to work or relax prior to their flight.
British Airways offers great deals on a wide range of hotels in Paris, coupled with affordable fares on flights. Customers can choose between hotels perfectly suited for a city break on a budget like the two-star Antin Trinite, a small hotel located just behind the famous Galeries Lafayette.
For contemporary boutique, try the four-star Lumen with a traditional Haussmann facade and its enviable location close to many of the major Paris attractions and stores. The four-star K and K Cayre is located in Saint-Germain-des-Pres on the Left Bank of the Seine and is a comfortable hotel which offers a great breakfast. At the higher end of the scale is the four and a half-star Westin Paris, overlooking the Tuileries. Boutiques and museums of Paris are only a short stroll away.
