Bermuda Tourism Authority welcomes daily British Airways Flight
Bermuda Tourism Authority is delighted to welcome the launch of a daily direct service from London Heathrow to Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport for Spring & Summer 2023. The two additional flights will launch on 26 March 2023 and last until at least October 2023, supporting the increase in business and leisure travellers to the island during peak season.
The increased service will be the first daily flight from London to Bermuda since before the pandemic in March 2020 and will allow travellers who want to enjoy a full seven-day island escape to do so without having to cut their holiday short. This new flexible schedule invites travellers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the destination and the authentic experiences on offer for at least six nights, if not more.
Interim CEO at Bermuda Tourism Authority, Tracy Berkeley stated: “We want to thank British Airways for their confidence in Bermuda as a destination and providing UK visitors with more flexibility and convenience in getting here. Only a seven-hour flight from London, Bermuda really is the nearest faraway place with year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, authentic experiences, and mouth-watering cuisine on offer. We are beyond excited to continue showcasing our special island, inviting UK visitors to feel and experience Bermuda the way we Bermudians do”.
To celebrate the launch of the seven-day-per-week daily flight service, we showcase seven top experiences travellers can enjoy during a seven-day trip to beautiful Bermuda from March 2023.
Seven things to do in Bermuda next summer:
Explore what lies beneath in the shipwreck capital of the world
Known as the shipwreck capital of the world with more shipwrecks per square mile than anywhere else on the planet, Bermuda is home to more than 300 mysterious sunken treasures waiting to be explored.

Tuck into a fish sandwich
Standing as a national staple, visitors to the island will be hard pressed to find a restaurant that does not serve Bermuda's iconic fish sandwich. The typical recipe is made up of deep-fried fillets of fish, lathered in tartar sauce and piled on top of raisin bread. The perennial menu staple can be found anywhere, from small dives to fine dining bistros, with each restaurant embellishing their version of the sandwich using a range of extra ingredients including cheese, hot sauce, salad or coleslaw.
