British Airways Adds New Short-haul Destinations to Network

British Airways has announced four new short-haul routes to Wroclaw (WRO) and Gdansk (GDN) in Poland, Riga (RIX) in Latvia and Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) in Romania.

The routes will operate from the beginning of July, running throughout the summer. All flights will be served from Heathrow, with Wroclaw operating twice a week and Gdansk, Riga and Cluj-Napoca operating three times a week. 

Customers benefit from British Airways’ flexible booking policy, offering no change fees or a voucher exchange for bookings made for travel before the end of April 2022.

Wroclaw is known for its beautiful architecture and array of stunning bridges and islands that cross the Odra River. Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea, offers fine museums, a dominating church building and a beautiful old city. Riga, the largest of all three Baltic capital cities, houses a UNESCO World Heritage site and is known for its Art Nouveau style buildings. Cluj-Napoca, or simply Cluj, is Romania’s second largest city and often described as a cultural hub. 

British Airways last operated flights to Riga in 2007 and flew briefly to Gdansk between 1999 and the early-2000s. The airline has never served the other two airports.

Alongside these new routes, British Airways will also launch a new summer service to Perugia on 28 June. This was due to start in 2020 but was delayed due to the impact of the pandemic.
