Exclusive: BA to launch two new Caribbean routes
British Airways is launching twice-weekly services from Gatwick to Montego Bay and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic in its winter schedule.
From October 25, the airline is also increasing flights from Gatwick to St Lucia from three to five a week, Barbados, from nine to 10, and Port of Spain, Trinidad, from three to five.
Lead-in return fares will start from £634 to Montego Bay and £559 to Punta Cana, including taxes, fees and charges.
Lead-in return fares to St Lucia start from £553, Barbados from £553 and Port of Spain from £583.80.
“These new routes and increased frequencies underline our commitment to the Caribbean,” said head of sales Richard Tams.
“It’s a popular destination with our customers and it’s due to demand that we’re increasing the number of flights to the region.”
This is an excellent addition in flights to the region. There are also flight increases to St Lucia with JetBlue from New York starting in October and with Condor Airlines from Frankfurt starting in November.
