BA loves a seasonal route, and Gatwick is their playground for “let’s try this for summer.” You can catch a flight to Bodrum in Turkey, Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, or even Sal in Cape Verde. Cape Verde? That’s an island country off West Africa, and it’s basically a secret beach paradise. (Don’t tell everyone. Keep it quiet.) They also do Kefalonia in Greece, which sounds like a pasta dish but is actually a stunning island. It’s like BA is taking a summer road trip and inviting you along.
The Winter Weirdos
Come winter, BA from Gatwick turns into a ski-enthusiast’s best friend. You can fly to Salt Lake City (powder snow central), Geneva (the Alps’ front door), and Innsbruck (Austrian Christmas vibes). But the most random? Turin in Italy. Yes, Turin—not Milan, not Rome. Turin is famous for the Shroud, chocolate, and being overlooked. Why BA? Because it’s a gateway to the Italian Alps, you genius. (And also because the food is insane. Shoutout to the agnolotti.)
