British Airways Launches New Route From London City to Chambery

CRAWLEY, England, November 26, 2010 - British Airways is extending its route network from London City Airport
this winter with a new flight from London to Chambery, the gateway to the
French Alps.

The service, by BACityFlyer, the wholly owned subsidiary of British
Airways, will operate four times a week from 18th December until the end of
March 2011, using the airline's fleet of brand new Embraer 190 aircraft.
Flights to Chambery (

depart on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with flights from the
French ski destination back to London on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and
Sundays.

Luke Hayhoe, BA CityFlyer commercial manager said: "Our schedule is
ideally set up to give our customers the opportunity to spend a long weekend,
a full week, or even longer, skiing on some of the world's best slopes and
resorts.

"Only a few short hours after taking off from London's Docklands, our
customers can be in a winter wonderland of 120 ski resorts, all set amidst
the majesty and splendour of the French and Swiss Alps."

Chambery is a great base for ski holidays (

Airways offers a selection of hand picked hotels in countless world-class ski
areas close by. By booking Avis car hire, customers will have great
flexibility to make up their perfect ski holiday. Espace Killy which is home
to the renowned Val d'Isere and Tignes val Claret resorts and the Three
Valleys including Brides les Bains are within easy reach - meaning a Chambery
break is perfect for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities.

Customers can choose the four-star Chalet Hotel Kava in the Belleville
Valley, the most authentic of the Three Valleys, which benefits from a
magnificent placement on the slopes. Or, stay in Bride Les Bains where

conveniently close to the cable car, the family run two-star L'Hotel Athena
or the modern two-star La Vanoise. The three-star L'Oree des Pistes in Les
