LONDON - British Airways has offered a free flight to Mr T following the revelation that The A-Team star will be 'getting on a plane' to the UK next year to promote Snickers.

Mr T is said to be scared of flying, just like the BA Baracus character he portrayed in the The A-Team. He will visit the UK next year as part of an experiential tour for the Mars-owned brand. The activity is part of Snickers' 'Get some nuts' marketing campaign.

A BA spokeswoman said: 'We pity the fool that wouldn't want the honour of flying BA back to the UK.' The airline was also willing to give him a fear of flying course, she added.
