Barbados has welcomed British Airways’ announcement of the addition of a second flight from Heathrow this winter.

The new flight, operating in December 2021 and January 2022, will add 3,000 seats to BA’s service from London to Bridgetown, which currently comprises two services,  one from Gatwick and the other from Heathrow.

Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc Global Head of Markets Cheryl Carter said “Barbados is delighted with the news.

Winter is peak season in Barbados, with temperatures reaching highs of 29C. This new flight will allow even more UK travellers to enjoy some winter sun and experience our beautiful island.”

Additional flights will start on 11 December, until 9 January on a Boeing 777-300, giving Business Class passengers the opportunity to experience the recently introduced Club Suite.
