For the first time, British Airways will launch new service between London Heathrow and Tromsø, Norway. Starting December 1st, 2024, the route will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays with an Airbus A320neo.
On Thursday (May 23, 2024), British Airways announced the launch of their first-ever service between London Heathrow and Tromsø in Norway for the winter 2024/25 season. Flights to Tromsø are now bookable, and the route will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays with an Airbus A320neo starting December 1st, 2024. The Norwegian city is one of the best places to see the spectacular aurora borealis, and its climate and abundant snowfall makes it the perfect location for winter activities such as skiing, mountaineering and whale watching. Located in the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is also a popular destination for those who like to explore Christmas markets, as the city’s most picturesque market and Christmas tree is located in Stortorget, the main square.
In Thursday’s announcement, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, Neil Chernoff, said,
“Those who missed the northern lights in the UK need not worry! We are excited to welcome Tromsø to our route network – it is a growing winter leisure market thanks to its abundance of cold-weather activities and we’ll be the only premium carrier operating there from the UK. We’ve optimised the schedule for three- and four-night trips, which we know are perfect for a destination like this.”
British Airways Holidays’ packages are also available to Tromsø, which include deposits from only £60pp, flexible payment options, ATOL protection, a 24-hour helpline, and a 23kg baggage alliance. Return fares for air travel only are now available to Tromsø from £153, and the route will operate until March 27, 2025. Guests can also bring skiing or snowboarding equipment as part of their checked baggage, providing the bag is within 190 x 75 x 65cm.
