Summer 2027 network update
We’re strengthening our wider long-haul network, adding capacity across popular destinations in the Americas and the Caribbean. With increased frequencies and extended seasonal services, we’re giving customers more choice and flexibility while improving connections between London and key destinations around the world.
Changes for Summer 2027:
Buenos Aires, Argentina will move to a daily non-stop service, with an onward tag to Santiago, Chile. Customers will benefit from the only non-stop flights between London and Buenos Aires, as well as the convenience of daily services to Santiago, providing more choice and flexibility across South America.
There will be an increase in seat capacity to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as the daily service moves to a dedicated route, without onward tags.
London Heathrow to San José, Costa Rica, becomes a year-round service, at three per week.
London Heathrow to Cape Town, South Africa increases its summer frequency, up from seven per week to 10 per week.
London Heathrow to Las Vegas increases from 13 per week, to 14 per week.
London Gatwick to Barbados, which launches this October, will continue for the summer 2027 season, including onward tags to Grenada, Guyana and Tobago. London Gatwick to St Lucia continues to operate as a direct service, at four per week for summer 2027.
