Those flights are always chock-full with Brits, I'm not really surprised BA is instituting this service.

Last month I saw a British travel programme here on tv that did a segment on Alberta, since Brokeback Mountain once again revealed to the world our stunning scenery. Anyway the tv programme was a bit of a let down as they devoted as much time to Banff and Lake Louise as they did to Fort MacLeod and some no-name ranch near Pincher Creek. And they didn't even go to Frank Slide while they were down there. They could have done a much better job of selling Alberta for British tourists, although there are plenty enough already.
