British Airways adds more flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to London
Perfect timing for your next visit to the British capital
London calling? British Airways has always made getting there easier, but it’s now even more convenient as it expands its Saudi-London flights.
Starting Monday October 27, the airline will be increasing flights to the British capital, with an expanded schedule running until summer 2026 to meet rising demand – giving travellers even more flexibility when planning their next UK trip.
What’s new?
London continues to be a popular destination for Saudi residents. Whether visiting family or travelling for business or leisure, British Airways’ new flights provide more options for your journey.
The airline will operate 12 flights per week from Riyadh to London Heathrow this winter and will increase to 14 flights per week from summer 2026.
Jeddah will also increase to five flights a week in summer 2026, up from the current four flights operating the route.
Tickets for the additional services are now available to book on the British Airways website.
Ready for Big Ben, shopping, and scones?
A perennial favourite among travellers, London offers a little something for everyone. There’s legendary architecture, a storied history, regal green parks filled with swans and flowering trees, and a multicultural food scene that is the very definition of world-class.
No matter how many times or how often you’ve explored London, there’s always somewhere new to stay and something new to see. Check out what’s new in the British capital here.
Enhancing connectivity in the Middle East
With the extra flights from Saudi Arabia, British Airways is also boosting flights from Bahrain and Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow.
British Airways will operate a daily service from Bahrain starting Monday, October 27. This will more than double the weekly flights to London, providing over 9,000 additional seats on the route.
The UK’s national flag carrier will also be operating a daily service between Abu Dhabi and London from winter 2025, offering customers more choice and convenience.
The expanded schedule accommodates increasing demand across the region and has been carefully timed to provide customers with seamless onward connections through London Heathrow to over 200 destinations worldwide.
