British Airways flies into Silicon Valley

CALIFORNIA’S Silicon
Valley is to get a direct service to Heathrow when #BritishAirways (BA) starts offering non-stop flights to San José next year. 

San José is the world’s software power-house and home to household hi-tech giants such as Adobe, Apple, Cisco, eBay, Google, and Intel, plus thousands of tech start-up companies and world-famous Stanford University in nearby Palo Alto.

BA will run daily flights on the only service between Europe and San José, the airline’s fourth Californian destination after Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco.

‘We’re sure this new service,’ says a BA spokesman, ‘will prove just the business for Californian-based companies looking to expand into Europe and will strengthen London’s strong commercial ties with the West Coast.

‘It also offers a brilliant starting point for visitors to nearby Carmel and Monterey on the rugged central coast along Highway 1, and easy access to Yosemite National Park.’

The service starts on May 4, and the flight time from Heathrow on the airline’s 787-9 Dreamliner is 10 hours, 50 minutes.
