British Airways launching flights from Las Vegas to Gatwick

British Airways will launch three weekly nonstop flights between Las Vegas and Gatwick Airport, about 30 miles south of London, on March 27, 2018, airline officials said Thursday.

The air carrier already flies between McCarran International Airport and London’s Heathrow Airport, but a British Airways news release said that the route “is in such high demand” that the service to Gatwick was added as a way to provide additional options for travelers.

Round-trip flights between the two airports are scheduled for Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
