Hey there, I've been scouring the internet for a long while now to try and find a semi-comprehensive list of routes that the BA 767 flew back in it's heyday - especially long-haul ones like LHR-LAX and LHR-CPT; and I've come up with next to nothing. Would anyone have a list of routes that it flew at least semi-regularly during its time serving for BA? Thanks in advance for any replies.

BA regularly flew the 767 to the following cities:

LHR to:
ATH
FCO
ARN
BWI

MAN-JFK

There are many more, but these are the ones I recall off hand. I believe they operated it on the short lived MAN-LAX service, but it never operated LHR-LAX.

CLT, TPA, ATL

NAS, GCM

Flew LHR-TLV for many years

LHR-EDI
LHR-GLA
LHR-DTW-IAH (axed around 2007 I believe)

In the USA, ORD, and BWI. I think they might have used it to TPA, but not sure. I would guess other places to.

Canada: At least Toronto and Calgary

In Europe: At least PAR, EDI, ARN, FRA, FCO, ZRH, LCA , Moscow, & MAD I think DUS too

IST in Turkey

In Asia: At least to TLV

I checked the photo database and lots of pictures in IST and Almaty. Also pictures in Portugal, GVA and EWR. Only checked it briefly, so I'll bet other places too.

I flew BA 767s to Moscow, Frankfurt, Istanbul and Cyprus. They were so cramped, probably the most cramped BA flights I’d experienced. Never a fan of the 767. The cabins were so dated and the BA crews - just indifferent in service. I was on a centre aisle seat going to DME once. During a LHR pushback delay, the male/female cabin crew for about 30 mins to my left and right were slagging off the unions and how much they both hated Willie Walsh. I was mid conversation. BA need to sort their act out and stop using “Britishness” as their excuse for a their degraded product.

They flew to KWI from the early 1990's til around 2000 when they were replaced by the B772.

I took one LHR-MAD in 2005.

i flew on one from lhr to hyd

Well, I had the opposite experience. I took the 767 a couple of times as they were operated to Stockholm Arlanda (I also did an IST once) and found them to be very comfortable in Club Europe. I especially liked the small cocktail tables built in to the end of the arm rests. The crews were also always fabulous. Different experiences to you, that's for sure!

BA flew the 767 for a long time on the BA780/781 rotation, which I flew several times while I lived in Sweden.

The 767 operated BHX-JFK initially before it switched to the 757.

BA046 DAR-LHR
BA047 LHR-DAR

I always saw the 767 in FRA.

Barcelona too. I remember I was on one of the planes taken out of service following discovery of a radioactive substance linked to Alexander Litvinenko

https://crankyflier.com/2006/11/29/ba-f ... on-2-767s/

Article lists a few more including Vienna which I don't think has been mentioned.

Before the 787 ba used 767 on yul in the winter and 777 in the summer

Here are the September 1998 767-300 routes:

Intra-European:
LHR-ATH
LHR-BCN
LHR-OTP
LHR-DUS
LHR-EDI
LHR-FRA
LHR-GVA
LHR-GLA
LHR-LCA
LHR-LIS
LHR-MAD
LHR-LIN
LHR-SVO
LHR-MUC
LHR-NCE
LHR-FBU (OSL was still used just for charters and Color Air at the time)
LHR-CDG
LHR-PRG
LHR-FCO
LHR-ARN
LHR-VCE
LHR-VIE
LHR-ZRH

International:
LHR-BDL
LHR-PIT
LGW-JFK
GLA-JFK
MAN-JFK

They were initially Tristar replacements so some Persian Gulf for sure. Also Philadelphia!

I think to SJU too..and Routes Online says Beirut and Amman were served too by the BA 767..

I think they flew to several African destinations with them 10-15 years ago including Dar Es Salaam as mentioned earlier, Entebbe, Lusaka, Freetown and possibly Luanda also.

A daily visitor at AMS (saturdays exepted) on the BA428/429 rotation. Though it was mostly send for the belly cargo capacity, it'd repeatedly go out full in summer as well. a full 50C200Y would be no exception on this 45 minute flight!

I've many fond memories of this aircraft around AMS. Most notably with 'NWZ, who seemed to be the hangar queen of the fleet. Always some tech issue on that one! I'm still sad every time I see BA429 operated by an Airbus..

I flew G-BNWP to Washington IAD and G-BZHC from Milan MLP G-BNWU to Milan. G-BNWF to Frankfurt FRA and G-BNWB from LCA

I have the following;
24/4/2004 G-BNWZ BA479 LHR to BCN.

Do you happen to know what years that route operated?

I was sat on this BA 763 from MAN to JFK on 6th October 2007. So glad someone captured the rotation.

Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, BA flew their 767-300's to SFO and LAX.

BA didn't have 767-300ER in the 1980's, they arrived from 1990 onwards.

I don't ever recall SFO being operated regularly but there was a short lived MAN - LAX sometime during the mid 1990's (1997!?). I believe it was a responce to VS who we're considering operaring the route but instead VS added a 2nd LHR - LAX and BA dropped their MAN route soon after.

LHR-AMS

The 767, in scheduled economy at least, was one of the most comfortable and desired seating layout's.
I flew Club to ATH ... and it didn't seem too bad for a 3 hour flight but, everytime I flew business class on US carriers over the pond it was horrendously cramp!

I agree about BA staff being unprofessional tho! I did a short hop over to Berlin from LHR soon after BOB started .... and the crew we're openly bad mouthing the company explicitly expressing that they were now 'no different to Easyjet.

It used to be a regular visitor to MXP after widebodies were banned at LIN, and before BA started renting additional slot a LIN from Meridiana, which made the use of larger aicraft and additional frequencies to MXP useless (I think until 2005/2006 or so).

Cheers,

It started around 1992/3 I think. Initially BHX - GLA -JFK before both routes independantly went 757... with one having a Toronto or Boston tag if memory serves me right!?

They had some heading to YYZ back in the early 2000's. I remember taking it on a BA97 run back in '05 or something

Some of the final European routes the 767 flew before retirement were:

NCE
AMS
EDI
GLA
MAD
LCA
IST
ARN
ZRH
FRA

There may have been a few more that I've forgotten...

I flew BA 767 to MLP in 2001. I was also on a flight from EWR to LHR on 767, but can't recall when it was anymore. I've seen the aircraft at BWI, FRA, CDG, ATH and NCE.

I think they also went to Harare.

I'm certain I flew a LHR-EBB on a 767 in 2012. Classic BA service, but the aircraft's interior was a bit worn.

Not meant to be an exhaustive list but some I remember:

JFK-MAN, BHX (for a short time, until it went 757)
LHR-CDG, VCE, FCO, MXP, ATH, LCA, MAD, ZRH, AMS, EDI, IST, ARN, FRA, EWR, NCE, OTP, DTW, BWI, TLV.

You got lucky that day. Most of the time it was G-BNWH on the MAN-JFK route.

Does anybody know why WH was solely allocated to this route most of the time?

It was a hangar queen (allegedly). Hence it was exiled to Manchester.

In the mid-2000s the third daily LHR-ORD was operated with a 767-300.

Flew the British Airways 767 twice between Detroit and London.

The BA Regional 767s were G-BNWN, G-BNWO and G-BNWU There were 1 or 2 757s (G-BPEC & G-BPEE) on hand.
BA277/276 MAN-LAX
BA183/182 MAN-JFK
Think BA187/186 was GLA-JFK-BOS and BA185/184 was BHX-JFK-YYZ but allowed international passenger to do MAN-JFK-YYZ, MAN-JFK-BOS, GLA-JFK-YYZ (no rights JFK-YYZ and obviously no cabotage)

Started Spring 1993 and had all but gone by September 1994. MAN-JFK soldiered on to October 2008, mostly G-TECH we affectionately knew G-BNWH. There was a period when BA did rotate the 767 by having one operate JFK-MAN-LHR and another LHR-MAN-JFK with the MAN-LHR sectors being the regular shuttle service.

...better question would be which BA routes past and present never saw the 767 in any variant, that should get the A.Net detectives out in force, I suspect the list in comparison would be very small.

From 1997 Timetable

Heathrow – Beirut – Amman 2 767 777 from 25MAY97

I was 767 crew from when I joined at LGW in ‘97 and was on it until they retired them a few years ago.
So during that time I flew it to; New York JFK, Baltimore, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Nassau (continuing to Grand Cayman, or Turks and Caicos), Bermuda, Caracas (continuing on to Bogotá), Accra, Abidjan, Freetown (continuing on to Monrovia), Dar Es Salaam, Entebbe, Lusaka, Luanda, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Baku, Almaty, Moscow, Jeddah, Damman and Hyderabad.

The above list is not exhaustive and not necessarily all from LHR, some from LGW and those were all the longhaul flights I did.
Goes to show you how versatile it was, I miss them !!!

From a sampling of BA timetables 1994-2001... so not a complete list, and the below were never all served at the same time by the look of it;

CLT 767s were US Air, not BA were wet leased. BA used a 777 to CLT.
