Word is that BA will begin daily service between Heathrow and Las Vegas next fall. Right into the market Virgin has had to itself, quietly up to now. BA will use a 777 configured with 274 seats, 24 of which will be "world traveler plus," 36 business class and 214 economy class.
Virgin uses an A340-300, so the BA will have more seats and a faster plane. You know this means a fight. American will no doubt code share the BA flight, adding to the pressure. Then there is the bigger belly cargo the 777 offers. BA might do rather well in Las Vegas.
