It’s been five years since BA stopped flying to Jeddah, but according to a reliable source, they are restarting this route.

Now, let’s delve into the details.

British Airways plans to restart this route on 4th November 2024, 4X weekly from Heathrow Airport.

Aircraft type.

British Airways will operate the flight using its newer Boeing 787-10, with flight number BA133 departing Heathrow at 20:10 and arriving in Jeddah at 05:30

The return journey will operate as BA132, leaving Jeddah at 07:55 and arriving at Heathrow at 23:45.

Seating.

The 787 comprises 256 seats, including 165 Economy seats, 35 premium economy seats, 48 business class suites and eight new first-class seats.

Conclusion.

I get excited when I see BA adding another route to its service. This means more options for travelers to Asia, for instance, and more Avios availability.
