The first flight to take off will be the BA302 to Paris and the first arriving flight will be BA026 from Hong Kong.
Robert Boyle, BA commercial director, said: "Customers buying these first tickets for T5 will have the chance to be part of this once in a lifetime opportunity."
Perhaps they were misinformed about the A380? Or is there a cunning plot?
The BA302 'should' use an A320. An A380 would be cool, but a little overkill for that route!
I thought tix could be bought up to 350 days/50 weeks in advance. That would mean this Thursday. As of today, ba.com sells up to and including Monday, 24 March 2008.
I'm seriously thinking of buying an I class to CDG on that Thursday, this Thursday.
