BA boosts holiday flight schedules
British Airways is beefing up its short haul schedules to European sunshine hotspots with nearly 100,000 extra seats for summer.
More than 93,000 new seats are up for grabs on flights from Tuesday 11 May to 13 summer destinations.
It includes 10 Greek holiday hotspots, two destinations in the Canary Islands and one in Turkey.
It is due to overwhelming interest shown in summer holidays .
The new services are for June and July onwards, in response to interest as more destinations are likely added to the green list for quarantine-free travel.
The 26 additional weekly frequencies will include Corfu, Kos, Paphos, Rhodes, Lanzarote, Tenerife and Bodrum.
The newly established flights to Greece and the Canary Islands are available to book now for travel between 21 June and 5 September over the peak summer period.
Bodrum in Turkey will also be available to fly to from 18 July.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Networks and Alliances said: "It’s clear Britons are hoping that their favourite destinations will be open by the time summer comes. We want to provide them with access to book seats and trust that if they can’t travel, we will be there for them with flexibility to make changes to their bookings."
British Airways is currently flying to 27 short-haul destinations, including 112 holiday hotspots for the peak summer period.
