Where is British Airways flying in September?

In the last few weeks British Airways has been ramping up to welcome Joe Public back on board.  It is now displaying a ‘welcome back’ message on its homepage, together with the measures it is taking to make flying as safe as possible.

BA now appears to be looking slightly further ahead into September and making adjustments, including the cancellation of its Portland flight and the launch of the new Gatwick route to Montego Bay in October.  There are now 62 destinations, up from 29 in July.

You can see where British Airways is flying to in Europe (short haul) in this article.

The list below was published by Routes Online on Thursday afternoon. This list is clearly subject to change as countries implement or roll back travel restrictions.

    Is there an obligation to accept a revised flight if it is within a certain time of the original flight?
    For example, I have a flight from IAD in Oct – it will be cancelled as it’s on the 747. BA’s Sept schedule shows its 1 flight a day departing about 3.5 hours later than my original flight. Would I be “forced” to accept that flight or would I have the right to full reimbursement?
    I will not be flying to IAD of course – and may well be prohibited by FCO rules at that time – but, that aside, would be good to know at what point an alternative option is deemed unacceptable.

      From what I’ve read on here in the past that’s a big enough change to allow you to push for a refund but you may also want to wait and see if they extend the book with confidence into October as that might give you some more options

  • KP says:
    24 Jul24 July 08:45

    So many to BOM and DEL? I’m surprised

  • Gordon Chalker says:
    24 Jul24 July 09:14

    Dominion republic is on the list and the government there have opened the island for tourism, All be it with certain measures,So fingers crossed I won’t be disappointed a second time. Just a pain flying from gatwick.

  • Nate1309 says:
    24 Jul24 July 09:22

    If my flight to Tampa has moved from LGW to LHR is that enough grounds to request a refund? Its in October…

    • Steve says:
      24 Jul24 July 09:30

      Change of airport is grounds for a refund. Your flight will now have a new flight number so no argument at all.

      • Nate1309 says:
        24 Jul24 July 09:31

        great thanks. I will just wait it out for now then until I receive official change email.

      • Doug M says:
        24 Jul24 July 11:51

        Pretty certain 261 specifies that change of flight number is not enough on it’s own. That could change for administrative reasons with no changes to time.
        I don’t think the change of airport is clear with 261, and I bet BA will resist, although they are not consistent in most things.

          I cancelled a September flight to the Seychelles for September back in May – I was allowed to do this as they changed the flight number even though nothing else had changed

    • jamie says:

      Aren’t all London airports treated as one?

    • Wally1976 says:
      24 Jul24 July 19:38

      Our DLM flights were moved from LGW to LHR. Phoned up yesterday and got a full cash and points refund no problem.

  • Matthew says:

    Had an Amex 241 trip booked for September – out to LAX and back from SJC. We decided not to go months ago, but didn’t want the vouchers and cancelling voluntarily would mean losing seat reservation fees (I had 747 upper deck seats booked there and back -approx £600) so I was waiting and hoping for a cancellation.

    SJC flight cancelled yesterday, so now whole booking + seat reservations refunded 🙂 and only took 23 mins to get through on the phone!

  • signol says:

    I’d be very surprised if the JNB flights go ahead, given that ZA is currently on the increase of infections.

  • Venturelog says:
    24 Jul24 July 11:45

    Wasn’t the 787-10 for Atlanta instead of Dallas FW?

    • Rhys says:
      24 Jul24 July 11:50

      Originally yes, but it’s been flying to Dallas since it was delivered. Probably for cargo reasons, as DFW is American Airlines’ largest hub.

  • Simon Hill says:
    24 Jul24 July 12:50

    BA booking options include San Jose CA from October in a 747 but then 787 from Nov onward

    • Fred says:
      24 Jul24 July 21:04

      October won’t be happening and I imagine that route will get canned – at least for a period of time

      • Chris in CA says:
        25 Jul25 July 01:48

        I hope it makes a reappearance soon: SJC is a cracking little airport, and not having to deal with SFO in either direction is a massive plus! As things stand at the moment I think all inbound flights are restricted to a fairly short list of airports by the US government, and unsurprisingly SJC isn’t on there.
