British Airways adds service for Vietnam

HANOI - British Airways (BA) has added its flight codes to Cathay Pacific flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Kong, allowing travellers to easily connect to BA services to and from Vietnam, the airline announced. The new code-share arrangement allows travellers easy booking and connections between Vietnam and London or Europe, with shorter layovers in Hong Kong.

The introduction of BA code-share services from Vietnam enables travellers to take full advantage of services available on the airline's website, www.ba.com. British Airways Regional Marketing Manager for Southeast Asia, Rob McDonald, said: "In recent years, we've observed that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular travel destination." He added the new code-share services also could give tourism a boost between Vietnam and London.
