On Sundays, BA612 is scheduled to leave London
Heathrow at 08:15 and arrive in Tromsø at 12:50, whilst from Tromsø,
BA613 is timed to depart at 13:40 and arrive at London Heathrow at 16:25.

Tromsø will become the airline’s most northerly
destination globally once flights commence.

“Those who missed the
northern lights in the UK need not worry! We are excited to
welcome Tromsø to our route network – it is a growing winter
leisure market thanks to its abundance of cold-weather activities
and we’ll be the only premium carrier operating there from the UK,”
said Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy
Officer.
“We’ve optimised the schedule for three- and four-night trips,
which we know are perfect for a destination like this.”

Tromsø is known as being one of the best places in
the world to see the aurora borealis, thanks to its central
position in the northern lights’ oval.

With average winter temperatures ranging from 0°C
to -5°C, the destination’s abundant snowfall also lends itself to
winter activities including skiing, mountaineering, whale watching
and exploring Christmas markets.
