CRAWLEY, England, Feb. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- British Airways has launched its new city breaks campaign for 2011 with more than 45 city breaks up for grabs.

Destinations available in the 'Around every corner is a new adventure' Sale include popular favourites like Las Vegas, Lisbon, Stockholm, Marrakech and Gothenburg, making Easter breaks, Mother's Day, the Royal Wedding and May bank holidays an easy reality.

A highlight of the new campaign are the hotels in Las Vegas which can now be selected by theme for those looking to holiday in the gambling capital but stay in Paris, New York or Ancient Rome.

British Airways will also be launching a new route on March 27th to Marrakech, where the city's bustling main square comes to life in the evenings, with entertainment from snake charmers, storytellers, dancers and acrobats and local cuisine available from dozens of food stalls.

In Europe, travellers can enjoy two night city breaks including hotels in Rome like the 3* Giotto which includes continental breakfast and return BA flights from Gatwick, or a cultural break in Budapest or Prague. Malaga is another of the options available for customers looking for a short weekend break, as it is easily combinable with the new London City to Malaga flights which will be launching on June 7th, or the airline's 28 flights per week from Gatwick.

For those looking to bag a bargain, retail therapy in the US has become even easier with city breaks in New York, Boston, or fly-drive holidays in California. Further afield the airline offers an increased range of holidays in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong or Buenos Aires which will become a non-stop direct service as of March 27th.

The new city breaks campaign finishes midnight February 28, 2011 and all offers can be found on ba.com/cities.
