New Domestic UK Route on British Airways

Recently Flybe announced they would move their Newquay to London route from Heathrow to Gatwick. This left a nice little void for British Airways to launch another route from the regions, which will no doubt be a great option if you live in the South West and wanted a more optimal connection to far away destinations. This is in addition to the several other summer seasonal routes for 2020 which we posted here.
