BA Euroflyer Gatwick routes for Summer 2024 are now bookable

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

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.

BA Euroflyer Summer 2024 Gatwick schedule

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.

British Airways will be serving the following short haul routes from London Gatwick next Summer.

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

Gatwick Airport South Terminal
  • Alicante – seven per week
  • Amsterdam – 19 per week
  • Bari – seven per week
  • Bordeaux – seven per week
  • Cagliari – seven per week, from 23rd May
  • Catania – seven per week
  • Dubrovnik – seven per week
  • Faro – 13 per week
  • Gran Canaria – two per week
  • Ibiza – 10 per week
  • Lanzarote – seven per week
  • Mahon – six per week
  • Malaga – 14 per week
  • Malta – six per week
  • Marrakech – 14 per week
  • Montpellier – two per week, from 2nd April
  • Nice – 13 per week
  • Palma – 10 per week
  • Paphos – seven per week
  • Salzburg – four per week
  • Seville – seven per week
  • Tenerife (South) – seven per week
  • Turin – six per week
  • Verona – seven per week

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.

    Let’s hope that the Euroflyer service quality brings itself up to Heathrow levels…and that’s not asking much!

    • Catalan says:
      27 Jun27 June 09:44

      I flew them last month. They were actually quite good. Young and enthusiastic.

      • Londonsteve says:
        27 Jun27 June 12:32

        I flew them last month and they were terrible. 3 out of the 4 crew clearly hated their job. The aircraft was a piece of old junk. Loads of stuff was missing from the on board cafe selection. But for Silver status there’s no way I’d fly Euroflyer again unless it was cheaper by a decent margin than Easyjet who at least offer young aircraft and friendly crew.

        • Qrfan says:
          27 Jun27 June 16:15

          “but for silver status” is the whole point though isn’t it? They have you hooked despite atrocious equipment, catering and staff. I’ve been in the same situation for 5 years. For long haul there’s generally a one world alternative but for short haul it’s ba or LCC for the most part.

  • Alan says:
    27 Jun27 June 08:15

    Any word on return of flights to other UK airports? The current setup is dire and basically removes LGW as a long haul option for most due to lack of connecting flight options.

    • Rob says:
      27 Jun27 June 08:16

      No – but those would be mainline BA, presumably, operating in a ‘M’ pattern from Heathrow.

      • @mkcol says:
        28 Jun28 June 00:25

        Funny I always called it a W pattern, never considered an M!

    • Malcolm says:
      27 Jun27 June 08:33

      Agree. It’s a huge gap that BA need to sort.

    • AngryScot says:
      27 Jun27 June 11:37

      Yeah this has been quite a loss for connectivity to/from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Flights connecting through Gatwick used to be convenient and relatively well priced.

    • Chris R says:
      27 Jun27 June 20:38

      Agreed. It’s pretty much written off any destination ex-LGW for us north of the border.
      In saying that, we are doing GLA-LGW-MCO later this year but the single flight to GLA makes me nervous if there’s any disruption or delays

      • Alan says:
        28 Jun28 June 18:42

        Agree and a friend was caught out by a schedule change, had to change their MCO return as they’d miss the GLA connection at LGW.

    Went to Gran Canaria four weeks ago, unidentified plane out (No tail logo) A Young foreign crew . Seat collapsed and had to be moved. Took off and arrived late.
    Back on a nearly new BA branded flight, uk crew, two and a half hours late. You cannot use ‘collect on board duty free’
    This is not BA, this is a nasty and cheap Euroflyer.
    This was my ‘2FOR1 reward flight’, never again will I book one of these flights.
    I don’t book business on euro flights, the premium is too high for what you get.You need extra legroom, not width. I AM SILVER MEMBER SO GET LOUNGE, AND EMERGENCY ROW SEATS, THE FOODS IS DREADFUL and on last three flights in business never got a choice of meals. So take a snack if you really need food on a 3hr flight.
    Might as well go with a cheapie airline whose flights left on time on both journeys. Galling to watch. Apalling to fly.

    • Rob says:
      27 Jun27 June 08:38

      You don’t book business but had no meal choice on your last 3 business flights?

      Just book nearer the front. If you’re in Row 12 you may be stuck, if you’re in Row 2 then you can have whatever you want. The chicken pie I had from Seville last week was great.

      • Elt164 says:
        27 Jun27 June 10:12

        Row 2 from CAT recently gave 2 meal choices neither of which I could eat so just had cheese.
        However in the galley I saw 5 prawn salads which were ok for me
        Crew told me they were crew meals.
        Would there initially be a choice of 3 meals for pax and crew just bagged the ones they liked?

        • Rhys says:
          27 Jun27 June 10:14

          No, crew meals are catered separately.

          If you have dietary requirements I suggest you pre-order your meals, rather than expecting them to magic something up on the aircraft! There’s a reason airlines let you choose from a (very extensive) list of special meals.

          • Elt164 says:
            28 Jun28 June 10:31

            Unless I.m mistaken, tThere are no meal options that exclude pulses. Fish, veg, kosher all include them!
            Would the crew meals really have prawn salad for all the crew?
            And aren.t there usually 3 choices for pax, until they run out?

      • Andrew says:
        27 Jun27 June 13:28

        Yes and no. Came back on BA (mainline) from Stockholm on Sunday and was in the first half of Row 3 to be served – there were 10 rows of CE.

        Three choices of meal, but my first choice had gone by the time they got to me. My second choice was inedible. Not sure how my beef cheeks were simply globules of fat (seeing as beef cheek is supposed to be lean) but a mouthful of fat put me off the rest of the meal.

    • babyg says:
      27 Jun27 June 09:24

      You were probably on an Avion Express flight. Personally I dont exclusively book BA, but book based on price for the total package. Cheapy airlines quickly become “uncheap” once you add all your silver perks (bus class check-in/boarding, lounge, exit row/seat selection, extra lugguage)… that said easyjetplus gets most of these and only costs £200ish a year… But yes Avion flights arent great, and booking CE hardly ever makes sense so not sure why you would book that (unless your company was paying)

    • BA Flyer IHG Stayer says:
      27 Jun27 June 10:33

      I don’t think any airline allows passengers to drink their duty free purchases.

      • @mkcol says:
        28 Jun28 June 00:29

        I’ve been able to do so on BA several times before, with the crew fully aware & assisting with glasses/I’ve as required.

        May have recently changed.

  • Wally1976 says:
    27 Jun27 June 08:25

    Is there anywhere I can find a similar list of destinations (with number of flights per week) for BA flights from Heathrow? TIA

  • Johyu5 says:
    27 Jun27 June 09:00

    What is the matter with a “young foreign crew’? Foreign to whom? I wasn’t aware of ethnicity mandates for air crew.

    On my recent return from Canary Islands I too had an aged, brandless sub-par plane (but then again, all BA experiences are subpar). I agree that you might as well fly another airline and swallow the riff raff pill fully.

    However, the young, dynamic, engaging “foreign” crew was much better than the aged, embittered, slow, lazy, entitled “homegrown” staff whom so adequately represent what this island (and people like you) have become.

  • Michael Jennings says:
    27 Jun27 June 09:05

    I flew TRN-LGW yesterday. The plane was a wet lease from Avion Express. The plane was an A320 that hadn’t had a refit in a looooong time, and there were a lot of seats rammed into the plane. The Lithuanian cabin crew were friendly. No real complaint – it got me there and it didn’t cost much – but some work does need to be done.

  • Sheila Santamaria says:
    27 Jun27 June 09:09

    I agree that BUSINESS class on short hall flights is a “Con” narrow seats and no leg room. Any one over 1.68 m is very uncomfortable with their knees reaching nearer and nearer to their chest. I flew BA Euroflyer to Alicante 2 days ago.I noticed the catering was different & better. BA is loosing customers.

    • The Original David says:
      27 Jun27 June 09:25

      I’m 1.96m and I think the legroom in Club Europe is fine. Plenty of room for improvement on cleaning, service, maintenance, reliability etc, but if the seats were clean and fully operational then they’d be fine as they are.

      • Rhys says:
        27 Jun27 June 09:38

        I’m 1.88m and I think the legroom is the bare minimum!

        • Londonsteve says:
          27 Jun27 June 12:37

          +1. Any less and it would be in the realms of Wizz and charter airlines. Even Ryanair now offers more legroom than BA short haul behind the exit rows.

  • Skywalker says:

    “…poorer pay and conditions than their Heathrow counterparts.”

    Good heavens – I didn’t even know that was possible! 😧
