Holidaymakers can now look forward to new flights from London City to Toulon Saint-Tropez, London Stansted to Olbia, and Glasgow to San Sebastián, offering more flexibility for travelers and a wider range of destinations.

New and Exciting Destinations

Among the new routes, the flight from London City to Toulon Saint-Tropez marks a significant first for British Airways, as it is the airline’s inaugural service to this glamorous region of France.

Additionally, flights from London Stansted to Olbia in Sardinia will bring passengers to one of Europe’s most sought-after vacation spots. Sardinia has seen a significant surge in tourism, with 2024 records showing a 38 percent increase in overnight stays, and BA Cityflyer is ready to cater to the growing demand. Lastly, Glasgow to San Sebastián will be a fantastic addition for Scottish travelers, offering a direct connection to the renowned foodie paradise of Spain.

These additions expand BA Cityflyer’s European network, which now spans nearly 30 destinations, offering more choice and flexibility to holidaymakers.

This service is ideal for those wanting easy access to the famed beaches of Saint-Tropez and surrounding towns, with the airport located just 30 miles away. The region’s beauty, combined with convenient travel, makes it an attractive destination for travelers seeking a luxurious Mediterranean getaway.

Toulon Saint-Tropez will become BA Cityflyer’s fourth French destination, joining Nice, Bergerac, and Chambéry. Fares for this route start at £127 each way, which includes hand luggage, making it an affordable way to experience the beauty of the French coast.

Olbia: Sardinia’s Stunning Mediterranean Appeal
