British Airways is adding two summer destinations from Nice: London Stansted and Manchester, using 98-seat aircraft.

On Saturdays only, the carrier will fly from Manchester, with flights leaving at 1:05 pm, arriving in Nice at 4:25 pm, returning from Nice at 5:10 pm and arriving in Manchester at 6:10 pm.

Also on Saturdays, BA will fly from Stansted with departures at 1:05 pm, arriving into Nice at 4:15 pm. The return leg will leave Nice at 5 pm and arrive at Stansted at 6:10 pm.

BA has formerly served Gatwick, Heathrow and London City with flights operating year-round.

Meanwhile, Monaco Life has contacted British Airways for comment on the cancellation during part of March and April of the Heathrow-Nice flight BA352, which leaves London at 8:35 pm and arrives at Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport at 11:30 pm.

The flight is “always close to full”, commented a Monaco resident, who added that “with this flight removed from the schedule and the last BA flight leaving at 5:40 pm, it makes it impossible to do a days work in London and then return home.”

Also, since January 11, all economy passengers on flights of less than five hours out of Heathrow and Gatwick will now have to pay for snacks (Stansted and London City departures will continue free food service until summer 2017).

The Marks & Spencer “All food choices under £5” menu uses a cashless payment system only, or Executive Club Members can pay with Avios (BA app download required).
