Where is British Airways currently flying to in the UK and Europe?

British Airways has been tweaking its short haul network now that there is a little more clarity about which countries do not need a 14-day quarantine when you return to the UK.

Routes Online has just published this week’s schedule. In the last two weeks, British Airways has added an additional 33 destinations (on my count!) so the list is steadily growing.

    What’s happening about flights to the USA ????

  • Alex says:

    BSL was 6-weekly last week (daily except Sat), down to 4 now so not all of them are increasing sadly. Not much flexibility compared to 3-4 daily we used to see in normal times 🙁

    But it is nice to see more destinations and flights. CC were over the moon to be back flying this weekend, it was really good to see despite the general mood. People were very disciplined about the back to front boarding / front to back disembarking, hopefully that stays the same.

  • Alex says:

    Do we know what’s happening with Vienna? I’m supposed to go there mid-October but there are currently no flights, and since the October schedule isn’t firm, I can’t trust the advertised 5x daily.

  • Nick says:

    Sofia route getting alot of cancellations – have had four flights on this route cancelled in August just this week.

    • Secret Squirrel says:

      Oh, this was one of the best TP value CE flights available.

      • Nick says:

        Yeah a lot people used this route for TP runs, for me it’s my regular route and it’s now full of cancellations and significantly higher tickets prices likely due to the massive reduction in frequency.
