Where is British Airways flying in Europe in August? Now at 101 destinations

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.

RoutesOnline has just published this week’s schedule.  In the last two weeks, British Airways has added an additional 19 destinations on my count, taking it to a total of 101.  Whilst this is getting close to the pre-pandemic level, the number of flights per week to each city is still a fraction of what it was.

The only exception are the following flights, operating from London City Airport who provided us with this list.

Remember to check the quarantine and pre-registration measures in place at your destination before you book.  There are LOTS of people being refused boarding at Heathrow because they have not completed the necessary online forms for their destination or provided any necessary coronavirus test documentation.
