British Airways has announced a huge boost to its summer 2026 flight schedule, with more routes to many popular destinations.

This includes changes to the Bangkok service, which is going from winter-only to flying all year round, with services running up to six times weekly. That's nearly 60,000 extra seats for people wanting to explore Thailand.

Miami's getting doubled up too, with flights now running twice a day from Heathrow. And if you're dreaming of Caribbean beaches, there's good news - Jamaica's getting an extra weekly flight from Gatwick, taking it to four services a week.

Las Vegas is jumping from 10 to 13 weekly flights from Heathrow, while San Diego and Austin are both getting bumped up to 14 services a week - perfect for those American road trip dreams.

The Middle East is seeing massive growth, too. Bahrain's going daily (more than double what it was), while Riyadh's getting 14 weekly flights and Jeddah's moving to five. Qatar lovers will have 14 weekly options to Doha.

British holidaymakers are the real winners here. With Bangkok now flying year-round from Gatwick, it's easier than ever to plan that Southeast Asian adventure - and the airline's partnership with Bangkok Airways means you can hop straight to Phuket or Phnom Penh.

New York's moving exclusively to Heathrow with nine weekly flights, making connections smoother whether you're heading to Europe or deeper into America.

The newest service uses 777-200s with First and Club Suite, so it's a proper premium experience. Having both Heathrow and Gatwick offering these expanded routes means more flexibility for everyone - you can pick what works best for your travel plans.

British Airways' chief planning and strategy officer, Neil Chernoff, said: "We're delighted to expand our long-haul network from London Heathrow and Gatwick next summer, adding more services to some of our most-loved destinations.

"Whether customers are travelling for business, leisure, or visiting loved ones, we hope they take advantage of these additional flights, which offer greater choice and convenience, making it easier than ever to connect with their favourite destinations around the world."

The airline's also been busy with shorter routes - they've just added Rabat in Morocco and Graz in Austria to their winter schedule from Gatwick.

This comes as British Airways announced an exclusive new flight to a sunny African city during the peak winter period.

The route is exclusive for members of the British Airways Club, who can pay with Avios points.
