The route is operated under the BA CityFlyer banner with flights twice weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays. One-way ticket prices start from €136, depending on the travel dates.
Improved Access to Saint Tropez
The airline markets the destination as "Toulon Saint Tropez" due to its proximity to the famous resort town, located about 50 kilometers away.
Toulon-Hyères Airport currently serves seven destinations, positioning it as a smaller alternative to major hubs like Marseille and Nice.
This service is one of three new seasonal "sun routes" introduced by BA CityFlyer this summer.

The other two routes connect London Stansted to Olbia in Sardinia, Italy, and Glasgow to San Sebastian in Spain.
Airport management stated that the new route strengthens Toulon-Hyères' international reach and offers residents of the Var region a fast connection to London in under two hours without layovers.
The expansion aligns with broader tourism developments in the region, which includes destinations from the salt pans of Hyères to the luxury beach clubs of St Tropez.
