MIDDLESEX, ENGLAND, March 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) British Airways has announced the launch of a new service to Ibiza from Heathrow Airport, with weekend services starting at Heathrow from April 27, 2013.
The flight times will come as welcome news for clubbers, who will be able to arrive and depart during the day, allowing them to maximize their party-time on and avoid late night flights to Ibiza.
The Saturday service will depart from Heathrow at 11.20am, arriving at 2.45pm, with return flights at 3.30pm arriving back at 5pm. The Sunday flights will depart Heathrow at 7.05am, arriving at 10.30am, with the return flight departing at 11.15am, arriving at 12.45pm.
This means that hardcore clubbers could even enjoy an overnight jaunt to the island with no accommodation needed, if they dare to take the Saturday service landing early afternoon and returning back on 'red-eye' morning flight the next day.
Claire Bentley, British Airways Holidays managing director, said: "People love Ibiza, and tend to come back for many years again once they've visited. It's no surprise that we've already seen huge success with our services from London City Airport and Gatwick Airport and expect London Heathrow to be just as popular."
In time for the new summer schedule, the airline is also adding flights to other popular Spanish destinations, including Heathrow to Palma (starting March 31), Gatwick to Lanzarote (starting March 31) and flights to Tenerife from Gatwick (starting March 29) for holidays in Spain.
All flights are DJ friendly, with passengers able to take record bags (56cm x 45cm x 25cm) with no weight limit as a carry on bag, plus a handbag or laptop bag, as well as checking in a bag weighing up to 23kgs. As well the generous allowance, British Airways flights include free online check-in and seat selection 24 hours prior to departure, as well as in-flight refreshments.
British Airways offers flights to Ibiza from London Heathrow, Gatwick and London City Airport, all available to book on www.ba.com.

Biological tooth replacement -- a step closer
2013-03-09
Scientists have developed a new method of replacing missing teeth with a bioengineered material generated from a person's own gum cells. Current implant-based methods of whole tooth replacement fail to reproduce a natural root structure and as a consequence of the friction from eating and other jaw movement, loss of jaw bone can occur around the implant. The research is led by Professor Paul Sharpe, an expert in craniofacial development and stem cell biology at King's College London and published in the Journal of Dental Research.

Weight loss may prevent, treat osteoarthritis in obese patients
2013-03-09
ROSEMONT, Ill.—Weight loss may prevent and significantly alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis, a progressive disease of the joints known as "wear and tear" arthritis, according to a literature review appearing in the March 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS).
According to the article, obesity actually may trigger the biomechanical and inflammatory changes that cause osteoarthritis, and the pain and loss of mobility associated with the condition.
"There's a clear link between obesity and osteoarthritis, and the link is ...
New player in electron field emitter technology makes for better imaging and communications
2013-03-09
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, College Park, have built a practical, high-efficiency nanostructured electron source. Described in the journal Nanotechnology*, this new, patent-pending technology could lead to improved microwave communications and radar, and more notably to new and improved X-ray imaging systems for security and health-care applications.
While thermionic electron sources such as the hot filaments inside cathode ray tubes have largely been replaced by LEDs and liquid crystals for display ...
NIST quantum refrigerator offers extreme cooling and convenience
2013-03-09
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a solid-state refrigerator that uses quantum physics in micro- and nanostructures to cool a much larger object to extremely low temperatures.
What's more, the prototype NIST refrigerator, which measures a few inches in outer dimensions, enables researchers to place any suitable object in the cooling zone and later remove and replace it, similar to an all-purpose kitchen refrigerator. The cooling power is the equivalent of a window-mounted air conditioner cooling a building the size ...
New NIST time code to boost reception for radio-controlled clocks
2013-03-09
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is changing the way it broadcasts time signals that synchronize radio-controlled "atomic" clocks and watches to official U.S. time in ways that will enable new radio-controlled timepieces to be significantly more robust and reliable.
This new time broadcast protocol will not only improve the performance of new radio-controlled clocks and watches, but will encourage the development of new timekeeping products that were not practical with the old broadcast system because of local interference or other limitations. ...
Study shows confidence builds better exercise habits for cancer survivors
2013-03-09
HOUSTON - Endometrial cancer survivors are more likely to complete physical activity, and for longer durations, when their daily self-efficacy is higher, according to a study published online in the journal Health Psychology – a publication of the American Psychology Association.
"Sedentary behavior is associated with increased cancer risk, including endometrial cancer," said Karen Basen-Engquist, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Behavioral Science at MD Anderson and lead investigator on the study. "When cancer survivors exercise, it not only improves their physical ...
NIST panel expands recommendations for use of electronic health records in pediatrics
2013-03-09
To speed development and adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) for pediatrics, a group of experts from industry, academia and government convened by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has focused its attention on three key audiences—records-system vendors and developers, small-group pediatric medical practices and children's hospitals.
In a paper* in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, the panel of medical, human factors engineering and software-usability experts detail how specific recommendations from a recent guide ...
Why a hereditary anemia is caused by genetic mutation in mechanically sensitive ion channel
2013-03-09
BUFFALO, N.Y. – A genetic mutation that alters the kinetics of an ion channel in red blood cells has been identified as the cause behind a hereditary anemia, according to a paper (http://bit.ly/13LgCzc) published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by University at Buffalo scientists and colleagues.
The research team was led by Frederick Sachs, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the UB Department of Physiology and Biophysics, who discovered in the 1980s that some ion channels are mechanosensitive, that is, they convert mechanical stress ...
Temp-controlled 'nanopores' may allow detailed blood analysis
2013-03-09
Tiny biomolecular chambers called nanopores that can be selectively heated may help doctors diagnose disease more effectively if recent research by a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Wheaton College, and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) proves effective. Though the findings* may be years away from application in the clinic, they may one day improve doctors' ability to search the bloodstream quickly for indicators of disease—a longstanding goal of medical research.
The team has pioneered work on the use of nanopores—tiny chambers ...
Some biologists shun new media
2013-03-09
Although biologists think that "new media" such as blogs and online social networks have an important influence on public opinion and political decisions, they aren't much inclined to use them themselves to stay informed about developments in science. Rather, they prefer traditional outlets such as newspapers and television. That seems, at least, to be the implication of a study published in the April issue of BioScience.
The study, by Joachim Allgaier of the Jülich Research Center in Germany and four coauthors, examined the opinions of 257 neuroscientists working in ...
