British Airways back to Guernsey in the Channel Islands

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

It is more than 40 years since BA last connected its main base, London Heathrow, with the Channel Island of Guernsey. I was on board the first departure from the isle – a notable operation with both pilots and all but one of the cabin crew being Guernsey born and bread.While I waited for the flight I talked to Zoe Gosling, Lead Marketing Officer at Visit Guernsey – who had just flown in from Heathrow.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.
