According to IFLYCHS.com website, tickets officially go on sale starting Friday October 19th 2018. The twice weekly flights will be flown on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner which is the perfect match for this CHS to LHR voyage. One of the two final assembly locations for the 787-8 Dreamliner happens to be at the Boeing facilities in North Charleston.

This new transatlantic destination will be another great boost to the Charleston tourism scene, a great amenity for locals and further proving Charleston’s status as a world class international destination. This may call for a celebratory fish, chips, and a pint at The CodFather in North Charleston!
