Revealed: British Airways’ Hottest Routes This Summer

With the holiday season in full swing, British Airways has revealed some of the most popular destinations for travellers across its route network in summer 2018.

Included in the list of the most popular long-haul destinations are:

• New York
• Los Angeles
• Dubai
• Singapore
• Hong Kong

With scorching weather temperatures across Europe, travellers also looked closer to home. Among the most popular short-haul destinations are:

• Malaga
• Nice
• Amsterdam
• Edinburgh
• Glasgow

Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, said: “This year British Airways is offering its largest network schedule for 10 years, with flights to more than 200 destinations across more than 75 countries, so we’re confident we have a route map that meets our customers’ needs. As well as the more well-known destinations, we know our customers love exploring places they haven’t visited before. That’s why next year we’re confident new additions to the British Airways route map like Pittsburgh and Nashville, alongside Santiago, where we’ve recently increased the number of weekly flights, will be among our most popular destinations, as well as some of the traditional hotspots we’ve seen this year.”

With flights available 355 days in advance, customers can already begin planning their next summer getaway. To help customers, British Airways has also revealed its most popular hotels in each destination. These include the Mandarin Oriental in Singapore, Atlantis The Palm, in Dubai, Le Meridien in Nice and Elba Estepona Gran Hotel & Thalasso Spa in Malaga

Regardless of route, customers can experience the benefits of British Airways’ £4.5bn investment plan for customers. This includes new catering in Club World (long-haul business class) and World Traveller (long-haul economy) as well as refreshed lounges.
