An additional six flights will go to Austin in Texas, and three more flights a week during peak season to party hotspot Las Vegas. An extra weekly flight to Pittsburgh will also be available to offer a daily service, and even an extra seven flights a week to Washington. Therefore in total, BA will have over an astonishing 400 direct flights per week at its peak. Not only is BA launching more flights to the US, but Canada, India and Cancun too. Flights to Canada’s Vancouver will operate up to a whopping 14 a week from London Heathrow to offer a daily service during the summer peak. A third daily flight to Delhi will be around for summer 2025 – bringing the total number of flights to India to 63 a week across five destinations. To the luxurious Cancun in Mexico, flights from London Gatwick will also be increased to seven a week – becoming a daily service next summer. Those wanting to go to Italy can hop on a second daily flight that has been added from Heathrow to the beautiful city of Florence – thanks to BA launching additional services. It comes after British Airways announced they’re launching more flights to Cape Town, South Africa from the UK. Currently, the flag carrier operates a daily flight between London Heathrow and the African city. However, two more daily routes are to be added in the upcoming months. By the end of October, a second daily flight will be launched to Cape Town. And then from January 10, a third will launch from London Heathrow. You can also currently fly from London Gatwick to Cape Town, although this is just a seasonal route that runs for three weeks between December 13, 2024 and January 8, 2025. Dr Ivan Meyer, the Western Cape’s minister for economic opportunities and agriculture, said that the UK was one of the largest groups of tourists arriving by air. He added: “The Western Cape remains a preferred destination for UK travellers, and with improved connectivity between the two regions, the city hopes to welcome even more UK visitors, further boosting our economy.” Three money-saving travel hacks to take the stress out of your holidays READY to escape the dreary weather? Here are some tips on saving cash TIME TO FLY: Always use a flight comparison site, such as fly-scanner.com or kayak.co.uk, which will search for the cheapest operator on your chosen route.
