Heathrow Routes

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Abu Dhabi is a city of contrasts. Think skyscrapers that touch the clouds, malls that could fit a small town and beaches that make you forget you're in the middle of a desert. Travellers can enjoy world-class museums, thrilling amusement parks, and serene mangrove kayaking adventures.

Coming after a gap of four years, British Airways will be launching daily flights from London Heathrow to the UAE’s capital from April. Customers can check British Airways reward flight availability for return flights from now. These are expected to continue on a year-round basis.

Izmir, Turkey

Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey has always held an element of mystery. Home to ancient ruins and stunning landscapes from beaches to mountains, Turkey offers relatively low prices compared to other European countries. But there’s so much more to explore in this cradle of empires than the well-known centres of attraction like Istanbul and Ankara. 

 

 

Starting on 18 May 2024, British Airways will be launching weekly flights to the city of Izmir, a sandy beach haven on Turkey’s Aegean coast, which is also famous for its rich archaeological and historic heritage. The new route will take off every Saturday from Terminal 5 at London Heathrow, and will be the fifth Turkish destination on the British Airways network, joining Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum, and Dalaman.

Gatwick Routes

Agadir, Morocco

Long known as the quintessential travel destination for desert treks, remote waterfalls, and mint tea, Morocco has always been a traveller favourite. After more than a decade and owing to its growing demand, British Airways reward flight availability now extends to the coastal city of Agadir. The city that houses the cultural landmark Adadir Kasbah, also enjoys 300 days of sunshine, with beautiful golf courses and family-friendly watersports. 

Agadir joins Marrakech on British Airways with return flights available four times a week from 31 March 2024. The flights will be operated by British Airways’ Gatwick short-haul subsidiary, BA Euroflyer.

Stansted Routes

With the effects of the pandemic finally behind us, travel has returned in full numbers, and with it, the demand for flights has also sprung up. 

To facilitate this welcome change, British Airways will be returning to London Stansted Airport, with scheduled weekend flights to Florence, Ibiza, and Nice. 

This increases the number of London airports featuring British Airways to four, with London Stansted flights being operated by British Airways’ subsidiary BA Cityflyer on its Embraer 190 aircraft.
