Vueling and British Airways to sell combined tickets
Sunday, September 20, 2015 @ 11:43 AM
A JOINT effort between British Airways and low-cost carrier Vueling means customers can buy combined tickets for flights with both companies.
Using the BA or Vueling websites, passengers can purchase tickets from one or the other and combine return flights – for example, a ticket with Vueling to a London airport and a long-haul flight from Heathrow to another continent can be bought as one trip, with luggage checked in at the Vueling desk in Spain and collected at the final destination.
At present, this allows customers to book flights from London Gatwick to Barcelona, Rome and Naples as one trip with a connecting flight, via the same website.
The move will shortly include flights from Gatwick to Alicante, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Ibiza, Sevilla, Málaga and in Italy, Bari, Pisa, Torino, Venice, Verona, Cagliari, Catania (Sardinia), Pisa and Genova.
A third phase will include combined tickets on Vueling flights to London and all BA destinations from Heathrow in one purchase on the same website.
This means Vueling flights between London and Barcelona will increase from four to 15 a day.
