Need warming up? BA launches winter sun campaign

Escape to the sun: BA launches its winter sun campaign

It’s getting chillier, so this has come at the right time – a winter sun campaign launched by BA.

The airline is offering great value flights and holidays from Gatwick to hotspot destinations including the Caribbean, Florida, Mexico and the Canary Islands.

Sean Doyle, of BA, said: “With the clocks having gone back and the cold setting in, this is the perfect time of year to get away and soak up some winter sun.

“Our route network allows us to offer flights to lots of sunny destinations, from the warm seas of the Caribbean to the beautiful beaches of the Canary Islands. And with our latest flights and holiday packages, we’re hoping that even more people will be able to relax on the beach or swim in the ocean over the coming months.”

Flights include 32 to the Caribbean each week, 16 to Florida, 14 to the Canary Islands and three to Mexico. Gatwick’s seasonal flights to the Maldives, which run until March, have also re-started for the winter season, with three flights a week.

For those looking to hit the slopes rather than relax on the beach, British Airways has launched a new flight from Heathrow to Turin from November 26, a city only a 90-minute drive from top Italian ski resorts such as Courmayeur. The airline is also offering new seasonal flights from Manchester to Chambery and Salzberg until April.

And for those looking for a cultured weekend break, the airline has flights from London City to Reykjavik, Paris and Prague this winter.
