British Airways has extended its stop-sell policy on short-haul departures from Heathrow for another week and has now included some long-haul services.

The new service will start on 5 June 2023

The carrier will now suspend new bookings until 15 August due to the airport’s inability to cope with increasing passenger numbers. The latest revelation comes a day after the carrier said it was not taking any new bookings until 8 August.

BA has had to freeze bookings to leave space on its flights for passengers whose original flight has already been consolidated or who, for example, miss connections and now faces missing out on lucrative last-minute bookings for the summer getaway.
