The Japan Rugby World Cup is now well underway and the group stage games are coming thick and fast. Here at Just Fly Business, we felt this would be a perfect time to look back at the journey the England Team took out to the world cup, and how they travelled to Japan.

On the 8th of September 2019 the England rugby team flew out with British Airways, the official airline partner to England Rugby. The 31-man squad boarded the ‘Sweet Chariot’ aircraft and set off from Heathrow on a 5,948-mile flight to Tokyo Narita. The England Rugby squad flew on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, this was to make sure they arrived relaxed and ready to take on the best rugby nations in the world.

Alex Cruz, British Airways’ Chairman and CEO, said: “We are honoured to be the Official Airline Partner of England Rugby and we wish the team every success in Japan.”
