British Airways’ planned business-class only flights from London City to New York (due for launch autumn 2009) will refuel at Shannon, western Ireland, where customers will be able to complete USA arrivals checks, meaning that on arrival in New York, they can by-pass the customary queues and speed straight through the airport. The twice-daily service will be the only long-haul flight operating out of London City airport, and will have 32 Business Class seats, all reclining to flat beds, in one cabin. It is claimed that it will be possible to arrive up to 15 minutes before take-off, which, combined with the arrivals checks being completed in Shannon rather than JFK, certainly makes New York an ever more attractive Big Short Break city.
