British Airways has expanded its Heathrow network with two new destinations, Tivat in Montenegro and Guernsey in the Channel Islands, taking the airline’s short-haul route count out of the UK’s biggest airport to nearly 100.
Flights to Tivat began on 14 May 2026, running three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during peak season, with return fares starting from around £172. Tivat is a small coastal town best known as an upmarket holiday spot, with BA marketing the route around its clear waters and coastline. Guernsey followed five days later, on 19 May, with BA becoming the first carrier to offer direct daily, year-round flights between Heathrow and the island — something that hadn’t previously existed on that route. Return fares for Guernsey start from £101.
The new routes arrived alongside a wider set of changes to BA’s schedule, including increased frequencies to Doha, Miami and Las Vegas, and a shift of the airline’s entire New York service to Heathrow after it scrapped its Gatwick–New York route.
The expansion comes as Heathrow presses ahead with its own multi-billion-pound transformation, including plans for a third runway targeted for 2035 and a renovation programme that will add the equivalent of ten football pitches of new retail and lounge space.
For drivers and airport transfer operators working Heathrow, new routes like these are worth keeping half an eye on — a new daily Guernsey service, in particular, adds a fresh, predictable flow of business and leisure passengers to the airport’s pickup and drop-off patterns.
