British Airways starts Bermuda seat sale

British Airways is having a seat sale to celebrate 77 years of flights between Bermuda and London.

Imperial Airways , which later became British Airways, first flew the flying boat "Cavalier" in 1937.

To mark this anniversary British Airways is announcing a special seat sale to London as well as to select European countries. 

British Airways' Bermuda airport manager, Marianne Wilcox said: “We wanted to do something special for Bermuda residents to mark such an anniversary and decided the best way was to offer Bermudians a special fare to travel to London and Europe."

Anniversary offers are also available to over 30 European destinations including Paris, Rome, Athens and Madrid.

These special offers are for travel originating in Bermuda and are non-changeable and non-refundable in World Traveller.
