MSY have called a press conference for tomorrow morning to make a "special announcement for the future of MSY".
Thread over on a.net is stating that they will announce the new BA service. Of course our a.net friends could be very wrong. Time will tell.

Can't be the new terminal, since it started construction at the beginning of the year, so old news. Besides, airports like to hype things up, so I would not rule it out.

Or maybe the airport bus will run all the way to the CBD on weekends!

There were non-stops showing for £1435 one-way.
I think it was BA733 but I can't get it back on my mobile
