British Airways Colombo Route Launch

British Airways announced a new seasonal nonstop flight service between London Gatwick and Colombo starting October 23, 2026, operating 3 times weekly with return fares from £620. The route expansion represents increased air connectivity between the UK and Sri Lanka.

Finally, British Airways is offering the ultimate budget travel experience: a 9-hour flight for £620 where you'll contemplate your life choices while sitting in economy between two people who treat the armrest like a territorial dispute. Three times a week they're basically saying "we tested this route once and thought, yeah, that was enough."
