Where is British Airways flying in September?

In the last few weeks British Airways has been ramping up to welcome Joe Public back on board.  It is now displaying a ‘welcome back’ message on its homepage, together with the measures it is taking to make flying as safe as possible.

BA now appears to be looking slightly further ahead into September and making adjustments, including the cancellation of its Portland flight and the launch of the new Gatwick route to Montego Bay in October.  There are now 62 destinations, up from 29 in July.

    Seems there’s little chance of us getting our first A380 trip to BOS in late October. A350 wouldn’t be too bad, but I wanted my upper deck experience dammit! Haha!

    many thanks

      I suggest you look online on ba.com or regularly check momondo or skyscanner.

      A better question might be when id TT getting in anybody at all !

  • Graham Jagger says:
    24 Jul24 July 14:23

    It appears that BA are confident that the current travel ban into the US from the UK will be lifted by September in order that they can fly to so many US destinations. Is their confidence justified?

    • Lady London says:

      I just saw a flying pig.

        Am fascinated by this too – currently spending 14 days in Turkey to enter the USA and join my partner there. Maddest decision I’ve taken in a while but am excited. Conrad Istanbul is lovely and then have a week on the beach next week

        • Dominic Barrington says:
          24 Jul24 July 21:13

          Jeremy, you presumably have a Green Card or US passport?

          • Jeremy i says:
            24 Jul24 July 21:59

            Hi Dominic , no I don’t have a US passport or green card. That’s why I’m spending fourteen days in Turkey ! (Lol I’m not doing it for the join of it ! ) Turkey is not in Schengen and so not subject to trump’s U.K./Ireland / Schengen travel ban. It was attractive as transit point because it’s also on U.K. green list and direct flights to the USA. Hope that makes sense and let me know if you disagree (yikes if I’ve messed up and still don’t get in to Usa after all this I’ll be ahem very upset !) Jeremy

          • Dominic Barrington says:
            25 Jul25 July 00:35

            Jeremy, I think you need to check what you are doing very carefully. I’m not sure anyone can currently cross the US border without a GC or passport. Most visas are currently not valid… I’m not sure coming from Turkey will make a difference…

          • Chris in CA says:
            25 Jul25 July 01:54

            If you’ve got a US passport or GC I believe they’ll let you in regardless of where you’ve come from. If you’ve got a visa on a foreign passport then you can’t enter they country if you’ve been anywhere on the “banned” list in the past 14 days, so if Turkey isn’t on that list Jeremy should be OK. If you don’t have a visa stamp yet, then that’s a whole extra layer of misery as they’ve stopped issuing quite a few types to people currently outside the US. Not sure where ESTAs fit in: I think it’s the same deal as foreign passport + visa when it comes to entry restrictions.
            There’s a “national interest” exemption though, so you just need someone somewhere in Government to agree you’re too useful to keep out!

    • Fred says:

      Won’t be happening before Presidential election (Nov 3rd)

    • RWJ says:
      24 Jul24 July 21:15

      Possible given that Trump wants to ignore the virus and rush to reopen everything.

  • Hugh Jardon says:
    25 Jul25 July 19:50

    At least half of these flights will no doubt be cancelled. Wait until next spring and have a staycation, go to lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs, enjoy the VAT cut, and help British business and the economy
