What British Airways long-haul flights are scheduled for May?

If you think that there are no British Airways long-haul flights currently running, think again.  On paper at least, the airline is planning a schedule for May.

Even if you have no intention of travelling – or if the country won’t let you in! – the flights may well operate in order to bring travellers back home.

The list below was published by Routes Online on Saturday morning.  We have checked it and it appears to be accurate.

This list is clearly hugely speculative – although the flights ARE bookable on ba.com.
