British
Airways is adding an additional flight to Shanghai this December,
taking the number of services from five to six flights a week
as of December 4, 2009. The decision has been taken due to increased
customer demand on the popular route over the past year.
BA's
regional general manager Far East, Kevin McQuillan, said: "We
need to meet the needs of our customers, and make travel as comfortable
and convenient as possible for them. That's the reason we are
adding the new flight
to Shanghai."
Shanghai
is a thriving metropolis boasting gleaming skyscrapers, tree-lined
avenues, colonial restaurants and trendy bars. As China's largest
city and often regarded as the centre of finance and trade in
mainland China, Shanghai
was an obvious destination for BA to expand its service by increasing
the number flights.
British
Airways also offers a range of hotels
in Shanghai, from 3* budget hotels for the price-conscious
through sophisticated 4* hotels like the Rendezvous Merry which
is conveniently located in heart of the commercial district Shanghai,
to 5* resorts like The PuLi Hotel and Spa or the Pudong Shangri-La.
The PuLi Hotel and Spa is an Urban Resort Concept and a member
of the Leading Hotels of the World. As one of the world's 500
best hotels (Travel + Leisure 2009), the prestigious 5* Pudong
Shangri-La with its breathtaking views of the legendary riverfront,
the Bund is the perfect choice for a once in a lifetime luxury
holiday in Shanghai.
All
hotels offer superb service and are ideal for business and leisure
travellers alike, in great city locations. To mark the launch
of the new flight, British Airways has reduced prices at all hotels
in Shanghai until the end of the year.
Tickets
and hotels are on sale through ba.com/shanghai and direct through
BA reservations on 0844 493 0758.
