British Airways Reveals its Top Ten Destinations for 2011

CRAWLEY, England, December 10, 2010 - British Airways has announced that the US, Caribbean and Indian Ocean all
feature heavily in its top ten destinations for 2011, but the pride of place
goes to North African destination, Marrakech.

Willie Walsh, British Airways' CEO, said: "The response we've had to the
launch of routes like the Maldives, Las Vegas and Marrakech has been
incredible. We've seen destinations in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean
becoming even more popular with leisure travellers looking for sun and
relaxation. Those after 24-hour cities are heading towards New York, Las
Vegas and Japan."

He added: "Tourism and leisure travel is a crucial focus for us, so
growing our holidays business is a major part of our business plan. We've
already made great progress thanks to the launch of our Dynamic Packaging
capability on ba.com, which enables customers to book flights and hotels
together and realise substantial savings. Revenue this year is up 55 per cent
and there remains a huge opportunity for future growth."
