British Airways landed in Bangkok this week for the first time since 2020
British Airways touched down in Thailand this week for the first time since 2020.
The airline flew from London’s Gatwick to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport and passengers were greeted by traditional dancers, flower garlands and local gifts.
The revived flight route will operate three times a week initially, rising to up to five times a week in January and February 2025 before reducing to four times a week in March 2025. January and February is the busiest time of year for Brits seeking winter sunshine in Asia.
BA will also be expanding its codeshare partnership with Bangkok Airways. Passengers will be able to connect to Koh Samui, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap with the Thai airline.
“We know that Bangkok has been a highly anticipated destination restart for our customers so we’re thrilled to see it firmly back on our global route map,” said Neil Chernoff, BA’s chief planning and strategy officer. “Not only does Bangkok itself have so much to offer our leisure customers, it’s also a gateway to some of the most beautiful parts of Southeast Asia.”
BA has confirmed it will resume flights to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from April 1 2025 with a daily flight from London’s Heathrow airport.
However, flights with Hong Kong remain at just one a day following the airline’s decision to cut its second daily flight last year. The airline blamed the rising costs of fuel and manpower caused by Russian airspace restrictions. Flights between Beijing and London have been suspended until November 2025.
