British Airways is expanding its flight network from London Heathrow next summer

Things are changing at London Heathrow. The UK’s biggest airport is about to begin a multi-billion pound renovation which will add 10 football pitches worth of new retail and lounge space, and it’s set to get a new runway by 2035. While we wait for all that, however, British Airways (BA) has announced new routes out of the airport next summer.

BA’s expanded Heathrow flight network includes two brand-new destinations. One of those is Tivat, a small coastal town in Montenegro which is best known for being an upmarket holiday spot. According to the airline, Tivat is ideal for anyone seeking clear blue waters, ‘stunning coastlines and year-round sunshine’.

BA flights from Heathrow to Tivat will start on May 14, 2026, and they’ll run three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during peak season. Return tickets will start from around £172 per person.

Guernsey is the second destination being offered to Heathrow customers next summer. At present, there are no direct flights between the UK’s largest airport and the Channel Island, but from May 19 BA will change that. Flights will be offered daily, all year long, with round-trip tickets starting at £101 per person.

With the addition of Tivat and Guernsey, there are now nearly 100 short-haul routes on British Airways’ Heathrow schedule.

These aren’t the only changes that BA has announced for next year. The national carrier is also going to start running direct flights to Bangkok in the off season, as well as increasing the frequency of planes heading to Doha, Miami, Las Vegas and more. BA has also scrapped its Gatwick-New York service, offering trips between the Big Apple and the Big Smoke exclusively from Heathrow – you can read more about that here.

Did you see that direct flights are officially relaunching between London and Cornwall?
