British Airways is to add more flights to some of its most popular leisure destinations next summer from Heathrow, in addition to the expansion from Gatwick.
Through the pandemic, all British Airways short-haul flights were moved to Heathrow, which included all our favourite beach destinations. Since their Gatwick base reopened earlier this year, some of those have stayed at Heathrow, and for next summer they are increasing the frequency of a number of them too.
There is also a new once-weekly service from Heathrow to Paphos, which will be flown through the summer on a Saturday (so perfect for May half term).
These include:
| Airport | Weekly Flights |
|---|---|
| Zakynthos (Zante) | 3 |
| Split | 12 |
| Ljubljana | 6 |
| Palermo (Sicily) | 4 |
| Valencia | 10 |
| Faro | 15 |
| Dalaman (Turkey) | 5 |
| Bodrum (Turkey) | 2 |
| Thessaloniki (Halkidiki) | 6 |
| Dubrovnik | 4 |
| Marseilles | 28 |
There have also been a number of reductions from Heathrow, most notably Malaga and Olbia, both traditional beach destinations which have been reduced through the summer. along with some city services. London City has also had a couple of cancellations as well, including to Menorca.
