It’s a shame all of these new routes are to countries with low (ish) vaccination rates and high (ish) cases. I can’t see any of them making the green list for July. I just really hope by the end of the season, I’ll be able to try one.

Riga is lovely and fun but I preferred my route a couple of years ago..AY ex LHR to HEL on A350 and then ATR72 into RIX. Much better than a 319/ 320 of BA! 🙂

Hope Cluj-Napoca opens up a return visit to Sighișoara and Transylvania. It’s a long time since I was there but I had a lovely time.
Hopefully more routes along these lines might lead to Sarajevo being opened up!

Thats a good route. Those of us in Manchester have the option of airBaltic (which I think you can buy via ba.com) A220 from MAN-RIX or fly with BA via LHR or Finnair via HEL

Good routes, these. Certainly in respect of the Polish routes and Cluj, should be a enough of a market for not only tourism, but also family travel that may be more convenient for many than Ryanair from Stansted.

I'd rather direct from MAN than direct from LHR, where I'm starting from.
Last time I went to RIX it was via AMS with KLM and then AirBaltic (on a codeshare? I only checked in once).

I can’t seem to find the BA code on the MAN-RIX flights for this summer. The ex-LGW codeshares are quite expensive too.
