British Airways to add Fuerteventura to its Gatwick network

14/06/2023 by Kevincm

For those who like winter sun, BA Euroflyer, the Gatwick-based subsidiary of British Airways, has added to its Fuerteventura route map for the winter season onwards.

The route will launch in November 202. Fuerteventura will join Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria as the fourth Canary Island served by the short-haul airline.

Flights will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays during the winter season on a mix of A320 and A321 aircraft. A third flight will be introduced on Wednesdays from 28 February 2024.

Timetable is below:

Lead-in pricing has been launched, with return flights will be available from £129.

Those booking a Euro Traveller (economy) flight-only ticket before 18 June 2023 can enjoy more than 10% off their fare, with early bird flights available from £114*. Customers who wish to use their Avios can purchase flight-only tickets from just £1 + 27,500 Avios.

Flights also include a Club Europe (business class) option, including pre-flight lounge access, more personal space, a full meal with drinks from the bar, and additional baggage allowance.

For those who want a package holiday, British Airways Holidays customers are offing package holidays too, with pay with Avios options.

In Quotes

Tom Stoddart, BA Euroflyer’s CEO, said:

“Adding Fuerteventura means we now fly to the four largest Canary Islands, which are great options for families, couples and friends alike. Fuerteventura enjoys warm weather year-round, so it is a great option for those looking for winter sunshine without travelling further afield.”

Expanding Gatwick

Fuerteventura is the seventh new service to be added to BA Euroflyer’s route network this year. The airline recently announced new summer flights to Montpellier, Corfu, Mykonos and Salzburg in addition to new winter services to Sharm El Sheikh and Innsbruck.

It also could be a sign that maybe, British Airways has finally found a way for its Gatwick operation to be sustainable.

Also – this would make a wonderful reward flight saver flight…
