Golfers benefit from more BA flights to Irish hotspots
Published: Last updated:
British Airways have re-launched their daily services, including free golf club transport, from London Heathrow to Belfast City and Dublin airports.
The flights, operating up to seven times a day, seven days a week, will make courses like Royal Portrush, Royal County Down, The European Club and Royal Dublin more accessible to UK golfers.
The routes replace the BMI services which ended earlier this summer and British Airways’ policy of not charging for a first item of hold baggage under 23kg means golfers will be quids in before they arrive on the first tee.
David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s head of business and sports tourism, said: “With UK consumers looking for quality and value from their golf break, the new BA routes are sure to add further encouragement to golfers to visiting Ireland to sample our world-class courses.”
Ireland’s reputation as a leading global golfing destination was endorsed by Golf World, who featured nine Irish courses within its “World Top 100 Courses You Can Play”.
With some of the most famous venues anywhere in the world, Ireland offers golfers the complete package with top championship courses, stunning scenery, fascinating history and some of the best craic around.
