BA Expanding at LGW
"~~ Ray ~~" wrote in message newsHm8c.24$HF.19@newsfe1-win... i thought at one point they were pulling out of LGW, and was trading the landing slots with other airlines in exchange for the LHR ones. They were swapping prime slots in LGW in exchange for LHR ones. Have they changed their minds again. Thats what I thought - Maybe AA are putting pressure on them (as they are moving to North Terminal, and I guess BA checkin ??) maybe AA want more codeshares through LGW. I guess if AA promise to buy 50% (or whatever) of the seats upfront - it changes all the economics. "Miss L. Toe" wrote in message ...

BA Expanding at LGW
AA are moving some flights to MAN...... they already have a ORD flight
everyday, soon they going to start a Boston, then rumoured to takeover the BA JFK flight in the near future. So maybe, just maybe...... BA are moving out of MAN with all longhaul flights there was only ever one anyway i'd love to have more BA longhaul there. Prob why i never flew with BA, cause i just cant be bothered flying into LHR. "Miss L. Toe" wrote in message ...

BA Expanding at LGW
i have flown with BA dont get me wrong, i wouldnt criticise a airline if i
havent been on them. i remember when i was a kid somewhere in the 80's going to HKG involved MAN-LHR-BOM-HKG-BOM-LHR-MAN 22hrs one way!!!! Keep in mind in those days bags were never checked thru. Now they are checked thru, still a major problem when bags dont turn up cause they got lost in heathrow or missed the flight. just think, MAN-HKG-MAN 12hrs....... that would be great. flying into LHR for any destination can add up to an extra 3 hrs to the total time.......... plus a poss of loosing bags too.

What they appear to have been doing is transferring those services which are not primarily aimed at the leisure market over to LHR. David |

BA did have and LAX flight out of MAN for a while, didn't pay it's way and was dropped. The LAX flight was pulling in load factors in the 70% region, but it was the dearth of premium traffic that killed it. There also wasn't any obvious attempt by BA to market it aggressively, nor was there the codeshare dimension available at the time. Equipment was a 767. It could still be a useful route for someone to look at, maybe UA or AA. FR -- Life's Rich Pageant www.flyingrat.net |
