British Airways to Offer Daily Flights to St Lucia this Winter

BA had previously run five flights a week from London Gatwick to St Lucia, but demand for flights to the idyllic Caribbean island has increased as holidaymakers look to get some sunshine during the grim British winter.

A spokesman for the Saint Lucia Tourist Board has welcomed the news. He said: “This essentially means that UK holidaymakers can escape to the paradise isle every day of the week. This shows the commitment of the airline to the island on the back of very positive capacity figures for 2010.”

The only other airline currently offering St Lucia flights from the UK is Virgin Atlantic, which operates twice weekly services on Tuesdays and Sundays from Gatwick.
