British Airways has recently announced the introduction of new year-round services to Milan, Italy from London City and London Stansted in April, 2017.
From London City Airport, the new routes to Milan’s Linate Airport will start on April 24 and from Stansted Airport on April 29. The airline will operate two flights a day on week days and one a day at weekends from London City and two a week from Stansted. Basic each way fares from London City and Stansted to Milan start from £45 and are available to book on www.ba.com.
Luke Hayhoe, British Airways’ general manager customer and commercial, said: ‘Milan is a very exciting route for us as it will appeal to both business and leisure customers. The new services gives the choice of two alternative London airports with well-timed flights to Linate, which is Milan’s most convenient airport.’
In early February, British Airways announced new summer-only routes from London City to Skiathos, Greece and to Manchester. Including the new Milan route, British Airways will serve 30 destinations from the Docklands airport this summer.
At Stansted, British Airways will introduce flights to three new destinations, including a second Italian city Florence, and increasing frequency on some existing routes. The new service to Milan will be the airline’s ninth route this summer.
All services will operate on modern Embraer 190 jet aircraft, with large cabins and two abreast seating offering all customers the choice of an aisle or window seat. In addition to allocated seats, customers flying in Euro Traveller will earn loyalty points which can be used to buy food and drink on board flights or towards other trips. Meanwhile, Club Europe customers will receive complimentary food and drinks on board, free baggage allowance, free seat selection and on-line check-in.
British Airways also said that Italian airline Meridiana, which currently codeshares on the British Airways services between Linate and Heathrow, will also codeshare on the new services from London City and Stansted.
