British Airways is to increase the number of flights from Gatwick to St Lucia from two to three a week and operate non-stop rather than flying via Antigua, saving two hours’ flight time from next winter.
Services from Gatwick to Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago will operate via St Lucia rather than Barbados.
Caribbean Airways’ codeshare with BA on the Port of Spain route will incorporate the new flights via St Lucia as well as four weekly Barbados flights.
Antigua and Barbados will continue with seven and nine flights respectively each week from Gatwick.
