British Airways Resumes Operations to 17 Destinations

In a welcome move for British holidaymakers, British Airways has announced that it is resuming flights to 17 destinations in August. Due to Covid-19, the airline will follow continued low frequencies on the routes.

The list of new destinations include favourites such as France, Italy, and Turkey. Britons were left in the lurch after the UK had removed much-favoured destinations like Spain, the Canary Islands and the Balearics from the “air bridge” list.

Other destinations on the list include Paphos, Bodrum, Pula, Islamabad, Nairobi, Frankfurt, Bari, Antigua, Catania, Bastia, Nairobi, Figari, Kefalonia, Malta, Luxemborg, Genoa and Lyon .

The airlines is offering flexible booking options such as the ability to change a booking without any additional cost, or cancelling a booking and receiving a voucher for travelling at a later time. 

Plans can change. If you make a new booking by 31 August for travel by 30 April 2021, you can change your date, destination or cancel for a voucher. Find out more at https://t.co/AFkXsCMjQI pic.twitter.com/9TlT5RU7vT
