True to its word BA has opened 4 World Traveller and 2 Club World tickets on its latest route to Oakland. Why they are going to Oakland I am unsure – they already have two flights per day to San Francisco.

A 777 operates the service from 28 March 2017. BA will be the only main stream carrier operating to Oakland. Norwegian is already operating this route.

If you want to get to West Coast next year this is the time to book.

Club World taxes and surcharges are about £500
