BA Euroflyer Gatwick routes for Summer 2024 are now bookable

Whilst British Airways flights normally become available for cash or Avios bookings at 355 days before departure, there has been a delay in loading the London Gatwick timetable for Summer 2024.

The new BA Euroflyer operation at Gatwick is still finding its feet and, like any start up, doesn’t have perfect visibility of where it will be in 12 months time. However, the Summer 2024 schedule has started to drop into ba.com over recent weeks.

The flights listed below are now bookable for cash or Avios.

Due to the 355 day rule, you can currently book up to mid June 2024.

What is BA Euroflyer?

As a reminder, British Airways has decided to launch a new standalone airline to operate its short haul flights from London Gatwick. At BA Euroflyer, the flight crew and cabin crew will be on different contracts with poorer pay and conditions than their Heathrow counterparts.

To the customer, BA Euroflyer will look and feel exactly like a standard British Airways flight. There will be no difference in terms of baggage rules, seat selection, lounge access, food and drink etc.

Club Europe is available as usual. It uses a different caterer to Heathrow but this was always the case pre-covid. I have been very impressed by recent meals from Gatwick and arguably the food is slightly better than the Heathrow offering.

The only obvious difference is the cabin crew, who are noticeably younger (and arguably less switched on) than their Heathrow counterparts.

Where can I fly on BA from Gatwick next Summer?

In the airline world, ‘Summer’ runs from the end of March to the end of October.

All routes will be operating from 31st March (many as a continuation of a winter service) unless indicated.

This is not the full schedule

It is important to note that this is not the final schedule from Gatwick for Summer 2024:

• some routes, such as Porto and Algiers, are moving to Gatwick for Winter 2023 and may continue at Gatwick for Summer 2024

• additional Greek and Turkish routes are still to be finalised

• additional routes and / or increased frequencies are likely if Euroflyer can get access to additional aircraft for next summer (there is no shortage of slots as many are currently being used by sister airline Vueling on a temporary basis)

You can book, for cash or Avios, on ba.com here.
