British Airways adds more Heathrow leisure routes

More Mediterranean leisure routes are being added from Heathrow by British Airways next summer.

The airline is introducing Olbia in Sardinia, Kos and Corfu in Greece and Split in Croatia to its network from May 1.

The new routes follow last week’s announcement that the airline will also start serving Seville, Las Palmas in Gran Canaria and Funchal in Madeira from Gatwick.

Weekend day-trip tickets and cheaper hand baggage-only fares starting at £39 each-way are being introduced

Flights to all four new destinations will be on Airbus A319s and A320s from Heathrow.

The airline is also installing new cabins in 95 of its Airbus short-haul aircraft, which includes leather seats and mood lighting.

BA strategy director Lynne Embleton said: “It’s great to be able to offer an increasing number of Mediterranean destinations for customers flying from Heathrow for that weekend break in the sun or for longer holidays.

“We know these new short-haul routes are going to prove very popular after launching services to Mykonos and Santorini earlier in the year.”
