British Airways will launch daily flights to Abu Dhabi next year, following a four-year hiatus.

Available to book from today, the route will begin operating on 20 April 2024, serving the UAE’s capital on a year-round basis from London Heathrow.

Famous for its towering architecture, rich culture, desert landscapes, magnificent beaches and world-class attractions, this Middle Eastern metropolis is enjoyed by those looking for an eclectic mix of culture, relaxation and adventure.

The new flight will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft in summer 2024 and will boost connectivity to the UAE as it joins flights to neighbouring Dubai, which operate up to three-times daily from Heathrow.

To celebrate the launch, British Airways is offering return fares from £449 in World Traveller (economy) and £1,999 in Club World (business class), available to book before 12 November 2023. Executive Club Members will be able to purchase Reward Seats from £100 + 50,000 Avios.

Those looking for holiday packages can enjoy a wide selection from British Airways Holidays, which include deposits from just £60pp, ATOL protection, a 24-hour helpline and 23kg baggage allowance as standard, including:

Seven nights at the 4.5* Southern Sun Abu Dhabi from £689pp on a bed and breakfast basis, travelling in June 2024. Includes World Traveller (economy) return flights from London Heathrow Airport and checked luggage at 23kg per person. Book by 12 November 2023 at ba.com/abudhabi.
