British Airways to Fly to Pittsburgh

From April next year, British Airways will become the only airline to offer direct flights between the UK and Pittsburgh. The airline will launch a four-times-weekly service from Heathrow commencing April 2nd 2019. 

Flights between London Heathrow and Pittsburgh will be operated by the 787-8 Dreamliner, which features 35 Club World Business Class seats arranged in a 2-3-2 layout, with staggered forward/backward seats. 

The new flights will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with flight BA0171 departing from London Heathrow at 5.00pm and landing into Pittsburgh at 8.15pm. The return leg BA0170 will leave Pittsburgh at 9.50pm, arriving into London at 10.25am the following day.

With the launch of this new Pittsburgh route, British Airways will operate flights to 26 U.S destinations. Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, said:

“We are extremely pleased to be adding Pittsburgh to our global network of over 250 destinations. With the roll-out of WiFi on our longhaul flights and the ongoing investment we’re making in the customer experience on the ground and in the air, we’re proud to be flying the flag for high quality transatlantic travel.”

British Airways launched flights to Nashville in March and will launch a further 16 new routes later this year.
