BA doubles San Diego, wide open for Avios, & boosts Kingston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Vancouver

British Airways has released a number of schedule improvements for the summer 2024 flying season.

The reason this is interesting is that these seats were only made available for booking in the last few hours and therefore Avios availability is wide open.

If you’d failed to get seats for peak 2024 dates, it is worth looking again.

The biggest increase is to San Diego.

From 24th April 2024, British Airways is adding a second daily flight from London Heathrow. It will be operated with a Boeing 787-8 and departs around 3pm (varies by day).

Here is a SeatSpy screenshot from noon on Wednesday showing dates with 2 x Club World seats available. As you can see, from 24th April you can take your pick, and it is a good gateway into California.

The other schedule increases are less dramatic, but there will still be fresh Avios seats out there for booking:

Kingston, from Gatwick

• Increased from three weekly flights to four weekly flights between 6th July and 31st August

Las Vegas, from Gatwick

• Increased from three weekly flights to five weekly flights from 31st March

Orlando, from Gatwick

• Increased from 12 weekly flights to 14 weekly flights from 31st March

Vancouver, from Gatwick

• Flights will start three weeks earlier than planned, on 29th April, with six flights per week
