British Airways will launch its first ever flight to Tromso in Norway this winter, from Heathrow.

Tromso will be airline’s most northernly destination when it launches on 1 December 2024.

The service will run twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, until 27 March 2025.

Chief Planning and Strategy Officer Neil Chernoff said: “Those who missed the northern lights in the UK need not worry! We are excited to welcome Tromsø to our route network – it is a growing winter leisure market thanks to its abundance of cold-weather activities and we’ll be the only premium carrier operating there from the UK.

“We’ve optimised the schedule for three- and four-night trips, which we know are perfect for a destination like this.”

Return flights start at £153 per person and are now on sale.
