British Airways (BA) flies from Manchester primarily with limited direct routes. The main direct flight they operate from Manchester is to London Heathrow Airport (LHR). For other destinations, passengers typically connect through major BA hubs like London Heathrow or London Gatwick to reach a wide variety of international destinations. From Manchester, British Airways offers connecting flights via London to destinations such as Rome, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and other global cities. There have been limited or no direct European routes from Manchester apart from London Heathrow recently, as some previous direct routes were suspended during the pandemic and have not resumed yet. In summary:
- Direct BA flights from Manchester are mainly Manchester to London Heathrow.
- Other BA destinations from Manchester require a connection through London hubs.
- Through these hubs, passengers can reach many cities worldwide.
This pattern reflects BA's focus on major hubs for extending their route network beyond Manchester.
