British Airways Partners with Uber Boat for Scenic Airport Commutes

British Airways has teamed up with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers to offer travelers an enchanting route to London City Airport, complete with a 25% discount on fares and a complimentary drink along the way.

Passengers disembarking at Royal Wharf Pier will find themselves a short DLR trip away from London City Airport. This partnership not only makes the airport commute enjoyable but also provides picturesque views of iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, The London Eye, The Shard, and The Cutty Sark.

Traveling with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers offers a tranquil alternative to traditional transport, with stops at convenient locations like Chelsea Harbour, Battersea Power Station, and Embankment. Promotional fares start at £4.20 per person within the East Zone or £7.69 from central London.

British Airways passengers traveling to or from London City Airport on the same day can avail themselves of a 25% discount on their boat tickets. Furthermore, showing their boarding pass at the onboard café bar entitles them to a complimentary hot drink, enhancing the scenic river experience.

BA CityFlyer operates Embraer 190 aircraft, serving over 30 destinations across the UK and Europe year-round, with both business class (Club Europe) and economy (Euro Traveller) seating options.

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is renowned for its modern, fuel-efficient fleet, including Europe’s first hybrid high-speed passenger ferries. These vessels use battery power within central London and biofuel for recharging outside the central zone, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainability.

Since partnering with Uber in 2020, the service has integrated river and road travel, making it easier for Londoners and visitors to explore the city via the Uber app. This partnership between British Airways and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers promises a delightful and eco-friendly journey to and from London City Airport.
