British Airways will add four more weekly flights to its double-daily London – Johannesburg schedule at the end of October.
It will operate the Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner, its newest aircraft, alongside the existing 14 weekly A380 services, bringing the total frequency to 18 a week.
The announcement comes soon after the airline announced that it will be starting three weekly flights from London to Durban.
The four new Johannesburg services went on sale on the 23 May and start operating on 28 October.
The flights will depart London Heathrow at 16h20 in the afternoon, arriving at O.R. Tambo International at 05h40 the following morning.
The return flight will leave Johannesburg at 07h40 in the morning, landing at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 at 17h50 that evening.
