British Airways has revealed that passengers on its new all-business class service from London City to New York JFK, set to launch this autumn, will not have lounge facilities at the Docklands airport.
A BA spokesman told Times Online Travel: “Part of the appeal is that you can get through the airport in 15 minutes,” said the spokesman. He added that by the time the service was launched, London City would have completed ongoing works on its terminal, making it a much more pleasant place to wait for a flight.
The spokesman also said that the airline has no immediate plans to roll out mobile phone text and data services, which will feature on the new flights, onto its mainline fleet out of Heathrow.
