After a four-year break, British Airways is back in action with its Abu Dhabi route. Starting April 20, 2024, you can catch a daily flight from London Heathrow to the capital of the UAE. This isn’t just a seasonal thing; British Airways plans to keep this route going all year long.
What Abu Dhabi Offers
Abu Dhabi is a city that offers a mix of modern architecture, cultural richness, and natural beauty. From towering skyscrapers to expansive desert landscapes and stunning beaches, Abu Dhabi has something for everyone.
The airline will use a Boeing 787-9 aircraft for this route, starting in the summer of 2024. This addition will also improve the airline’s connectivity in the UAE, as it already operates up to three daily flights to Dubai from Heathrow.
Special Fares and Booking Perks
If you’re thinking about booking, you might want to act fast. British Airways is offering special return fares for this route. You can book an economy class seat, known as World Traveller, for £449 or go all out with a Club World (business class) seat for £1,999. These special prices are available until November 12, 2023. If you’re an Executive Club Member, you have the option to purchase Reward Seats for £100 plus 50,000 Avios.
