The top holiday destinations in British Airways’ busiest summer have been revealed.
The airline was scheduled to carry more than four million passengers across its network in August alone.
New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong topped the long-haul list.
Short-haul destinations like Malaga, Nice, Amsterdam, Edinburgh and Glasgow also featured.
A total of 212,000 bottles of wine were consumed across all BA flights in July, up three per cent year-on-year. Business and first class travellers drank 105,000 bottles of champagne, up five per cent.
More than 360,00 special meals were pre-ordered in July, of which nearly 37,000 were vegan meals – up 32%. On top of this nearly 5,000 meals were low-calorie.
BA’s network and alliances director, Sean Doyle, said: “This year British Airways is offering its largest network schedule for ten years, with flights to 211 destinations across more than 75 countries.
“Next year we’re confident new additions to the British Airways route map like Pittsburgh and Nashville, alongside Santiago, where we’ve recently increased the number of weekly flights, will be among our most popular destinations, as well as some of the traditional hotspots we’ve seen this year.”
