July 05, 2017: British Airways is launching a new route from Heathrow to Tenerife to enjoy the winter sun in the Canaries year-round with the first flight taking to the skies from October 21 and return fares available from just £98. British Airways already operates six flights a week to Tenerife from Gatwick.


The flights are now available to book through ba.com and are scheduled to operate until the end of March, 2018.


From October 29 Heathrow services to popular sun spots Palma, Malaga and Palermo will go from summer-only to year-round, while three flights a week from Gatwick to Paphos will also operate throughout the winter months.


The airline is also launching a four-per-week service to Nuremburg. From November 30, 2017 until January 7, 2018 customers will be able to fly direct from Gatwick to the Bavarian city and enjoy its picture-perfect Christmas markets from only £78 return.


Sean Doyle, British Airways' director of network and alliances, said, "Our flights to European sunshine destinations are proving incredible popular with customers, which is why we are laying on even more flights to cope with the extra demand for seats.


“Guaranteed sunshine, idyllic beaches and charming villages make Tenerife an ideal holiday choice all year round, while the Christmas markets in Nuremburg are considered some of the best in the world, so we're pleased to be able to offer such a diverse range of places to fly to."


Families and holiday-makers looking to soak up some culture with a city break will also have more choice this winter with an additional weekly service from Gatwick to Vienna, Tirana and Marrakech.

Skiers wanting slope off to Turin and Geneva from Gatwick will also benefit from an additional weekly service on both routes. The extra flights come on top of recently announced new winter ski routes to Turin and Grenoble from Heathrow.
