British Airways' new Route to Haneda, Japan Goes Live

CRAWLEY, England, February 22, 2011 - British Airways has launched its new route to Haneda in Japan on February
19, 2011 in a push to open up the domestic Japanese market to UK travellers.

The service operates five times a week from London Heathrow to Haneda.
The flight to Tokyo (
www.britishairways.com/travel/flights-to-tokyo/public/en_gb ) is
served by a Boeing 777, with a four-class configuration enabling customers to
choose from First, Club World (business class), World Traveller Plus (premium
economy) or World Traveller (economy). Between February 19 and March 26, the
service will operate on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The flight will depart from London Heathrow at 0800 local and arrive at
Haneda at 0500 local time the following day. From March 27, 2011 the flights
will arrive and depart from London Heathrow approximately one hour later and
operate on the same days.

As well as offering an excellent domestic network, Haneda Airport is
located near the business centre in Tokyo (

premium customers.

The airline's daily flight to Tokyo's Narita airport will continue as
before. The route is performing well and operating from two airports in Tokyo
provides customers with greater flexibility. Narita International Airport is
located 38 miles from central Tokyo. The airport is linked to the city by the
