Airways Announces Summer Schedule

British Airways BA  is set to make a number of changes in its summer 2013 schedule (from march 31), including a new route, terminal charges and frequency increases.

The airtime announced that it would start weekend services from Heathrow to Ibiza from April 27, thanks to the popularity of the services the airline operates to white isles from both London city and Gatrinck airports.

The flights are on sale now from #66 one-way.

This is in addition to new Spanish flights from heathrow to Palma beginning from march 31 and from Gatinck to Lanzarote (from March 29). Prices to Tenerife and Lanzarote start from #83 one-way return and to Palma from #99 one-way.

The airline will also move the new Heathrow flights to Leeds Bradforld and Zagneb from Terminal to Terminal 5.

The Leeds flights will also be re-timed to better suit business travelers with early morning departure in both directions.

From the start of the summer programme on march 31 the schedule from Leeds Bradforld will be reduced from four to three flights a day with the lunch time and early afternoon slot combined.

However, the move to terminal 5 and the new timings will benefit both business and leisure travelers who will be able to easily connect with some of  the important long-haul and European destinations.

The winter schedule to Dublin and Tripoli will continue into the summer, offering up to 53 flights per week to the Republic of Ireland’s capital and three flights a week to Libya’s.

Travelers booking a short fare with British Airways can take advantage of the airline’s hand luggage allowance and carry on a good-sized suitcase (56cmx45cmx25cm) with no weight limit, plus a hand bag or laptop bag as well as checking in a bag weighing up to 23kgs.
