Flew to a sunny island just 35 minutes from the UK and didn't want to leave'

British Airways launched a year‑round route to Guernsey, delivering a 35‑minute flight from London Heathrow and reviving direct access to the ‘sunshine island’ for the first time since the 1980s. Inaugural travelers touched down amid celebratory scenes in St Peter Port, while Guernsey’s six‑mile‑long bailiwick sits about 30 miles from Normandy and benefits from a milder climate courtesy of the Gulf Stream. The trip’s report highlights the island’s walkable towns, castles, and coastal vistas as well as the ease of airport access, positioning BA’s service as a catalyst for renewed tourism and stronger UK‑Guernsey links.
