Agadir Joins British Airways' Network from London Gatwick

Starting from 31 March 2024, British Airways’ Gatwick short-haul subsidiary, BA Euroflyer, will operate this route four times weekly. This marks the first time in over a decade that British Airways customers will have direct access to Agadir, known for its sunny beaches, golf courses, and cultural landmarks like Agadir Kasbah.

Customers flying to Agadir can choose from two cabin classes: Club Europe (business class) and Euro Traveller (economy). Club Europe offers a full meal service, drinks from the bar, lounge access, priority boarding, and additional baggage allowance. Euro Traveller passengers will enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks. Return flights from London Gatwick to Agadir start at £138.
