Are you ready? Flights to the Basque region of Spain are set to take off next summer when British Airways launches a new route to San Sebastián.

It’s the first time flights to the resort town in the Bay of Biscay will operate from London City Airport with British Airways’ twice-weekly service through the peak summer months from July to September.

British Airways will serve five Spanish destinations direct from the Docklands next summer.

San Sebastián is renowned for its picturesque beaches, waterfront promenade and cobblestone old town. It has world-renowned restaurants and is famous for having the highest concentration of bars in the world.

British Airways is adding flights from London City next summer to Berlin, Florence, Glasgow, Manchester and Nice. There will be some frequency reductions to Geneva, Ibiza and Rotterdam.

It is also launching a new summer-service from Glasgow to Palma next year, with a weekly flight on Saturdays departing from Glasgow at 2.45pm, with the return from Palma at 7.50pm.

There will also be an extra weekly flight from London Stanstead to Florence, Italy, from May 3.

Each way hand baggage only fares from London City to San Sebastián from £50 are available to book on www.ba.com/londoncity
