SINGAPORE, 25 August 2025: British Airways is boosting flights to popular long-haul destinations, leading off with upgrading Bangkok to a year-round destination starting April 2026.
The airline has been flying the London Gatwick – Bangkok route seasonally during the northern hemisphere winter timetable, from November through to March.
Starting with the summer timetable 2026, Bangkok will be upgraded to a year-round route. It will operate three times weekly during the summer season, adding nearly 60,000 additional seats. During the winter timetable (November 2025 to March 2026), it will increase frequencies to six weekly.
In addition, the airline will upgrade its flights to Miami, USA, to become a twice-daily service, and Jamaica will see an extra service added each week.
Overall, the flag carrier is set to offer nearly 60,000 additional seats for customers looking to visit Bangkok next year. With the airline’s recent resumption of a codeshare partnership with Bangkok Airways, customers can now connect to Phuket, Phnom Penh, and other destinations served by Bangkok Airways.
This follows British Airways’ recent additions to its short-haul network this winter, including Rabat in Morocco and Graz in Austria.
