Bermuda featured in airline magazine

Millions of travellers had the chance to read about Bermuda last month after it was featured in an airline magazine.

An article on the Island — timed to coincide with the 400th anniversary celebrations — ran in the June issue of British Airways' in-flight High Life publication.

The piece, written by Sarah Gilbert with photographs by Cedric Angeles, praised Bermuda as a "quiet escape".

High Life is carried on every BA aircraft in 69 countries and six continents, making it accessible to about 33 million passengers.
