TRANSCRIPT
British Airways is delighted to announce a brand new direct
service between London Heathrow and the Seychelles,
launching in March 2018.
A spectacularly idyllic archipelago of 115 islands, the Seychelles
lie in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, just off the coast
of East Africa’s Madagascar. With picture-perfect beaches,
coral reefs and nature reserves, this destination provides the
ultimate sunshine escape.
Introducing our new route to the Seychelles
The SeychellesWith only a few of the 115 islands inhabited, this picture-perfect escape makes a refreshingly quiet alternative to other long-haul
beach destinations. Visitors are more likely to share their holiday with giant sea turtles, colourful birds and other exotic species
than with crowds of tourists.
Breath-takingly beautiful beaches are the main draw of the Seychelles, with year-round sunshine, clear blue skies and tranquil
stretches of sand in abundance. Snorkelling and scuba diving are great ways to explore the outstanding coral reefs and spot
tropical fish, with other sports such as windsurfing, hiking, sailing ideal for admiring the picture-perfect views.
The British Airways Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
The route launches in March 2018 on board our Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Specifically
designed to enhance customer wellbeing, the new fuel-efficient aircraft has smooth-
ride technology, which minimises the effects of turbulence and creates a more
comfortable journey. Lower pressurisation results in cabin air that is less dry,
reducing the effects of jet lag.
Every customer has access to their own personal entertainment system with an
array of audio and video on-demand programmes and movies. The aircraft boasts
our newest First cabin, with extra storage space, larger personal flat-screen television
and of course, a world-renowned service.
British Airways services will operate two flights a week from London Heathrow
(LHR) to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) in Victoria, the destination’s capital.
Return flights from Seychelles to London will also operate twice a week.
