Business and Pleasure: British Airways Launches Service to Munich

British Airways will launch new three daily flights from London City Airport to the Bavarian beer capital of Munich with effect from 16 February, 2019.
Each-way hand baggage only fares to Munich from £59. The new route will increase the number of British Airways’ destinations from London City Airport to 34.
As well as the new service British Airways will also add extra winter frequency on the popular Berlin, Dublin and Prague routes from November 10 this year and to Geneva from December.
Return flights to Berlin will go up to 18 a week, Dublin to 38 a week, Prague to seven a week and Geneva to 16 a week from December.
The addition of Munich complements British Airways existing flights to Berlin, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, taking their weekly return flights from the Docklands to Germany this winter to 82.
In August, British Airways announced it would add 4 aircraft to its fleet based at London City, as well as starting a new daily service to Rome and adding a 5th daily service to Zurich in October.
The year-round Rome route starts on November 11, with one-way hand baggage only fares from £55.
Munich is a German powerhouse for business. It is also an attractive leisure and destination, evidenced right now as Bavarians and tourists celebrate the height of Oktoberfest.
