Introducing British Airways’ new route to New Orleans, Louisiana

From 27th March 2018, British Airways will be the only airline flying direct between Europe and New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana. Services will depart from London Heathrow Terminal 5 on board their latest Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with a choice of four flights a week.

New Orleans: The party starts here

A blossoming cultural hub, New Orleans is bursting with the sights, sounds and tastes to keep every visitor happy, from single travellers to families. The city’s famous jazz roots draws music lovers from all over the world to enjoy its live music performances, as well as numerous street festivals from local band events to its vibrant Mardi Gras parade.

A choice of museums and galleries also pay homage to the art and history of the region. Other must-dos include a riverboat tour on the Mississippi, a streetcar ride and sampling fresh seafood, as well as dancing the night away on Bourbon Street.

As well as a great holiday destination, increasing numbers of corporate travellers are seeing potential in New Orleans as a business destination, thanks to its rapid growth in manufacturing, biosciences and technology, as well as the area’s economic boost in the energy sector.
