Well it doesn't seem to be anything to do with the 5 rings or the bag of leather being kicked around eastern Europe a few weeks beforehand.

Montreal was a classic for this (Mirabel now closed) and Prestwick the same for an example nearer home. Boris Island advocates please note.
That is (a) assuming Boris Island happens and (b) assuming that in order for it to happen, LHR closes. East to see why BA don't want it.

I think Cathay Pacific might raise an eyebrow about this - always plenty of pax on Europe to Hong Kong flights heading on there.
I don't know how I forgot Cathay - I used them between Hong Kong and Seoul late last year. But there were only three of us off my BA flight and two of us plus a family of five transferring to BA on the way home. I know the numbers because both connections turned out to be much tighter than planned and we were escorted as a group from one flight to the next.

Question 77W JFK days ?

Hi all, I'm wondering does anybody know the days on which BA will fly the 77W to JFK this Summer? Everywhere I look says that it will operate BA179/182 x 4 weekly but no info about which four days it is :S

Any help appreciated!

From what I gather the 77W operates the BA179/BA182 Daily except day 4, so not on Thursdays...

I was interested to note on my itinerary from BA that my flight next week BR 871 from Taipei to Hong Kong is to be operated by Brymon Airways.

Recycled IATA airline code? Like Flybe (BE) using the old British European Airways (BE) IATA code.

Facepalm time......

BR was British Caledonian Airways, formerly British United pre merger with Caledonian Airways (Prestwick). Brymon was BC, though both were bought by BA.

Sure, especially as it's been EVA's IATA code since they started more than 20 years ago, in fact well before BA even bought up Brymon.

Incidentally, EVA is initals, pronounced separately (like TWA) and not as a word, although many seem to say it like "Ever". I never heard TWA called "Twar" though.

Really? Odd that given their callsign is "EVA", pronounced "eevah"! Learn something every day.

What do you mean ? They are one of the largest scheduled airlines at MAN in terms of pax uplift.

BA @ MAN currently operate to LHR, LGW & BLL via sun-air
They also have codeshares on certain Flymaybe routes as well as the AA transatlantic routes.

I do however agree that it would be brilliant to see something extra from BA @ MAN.

Even if BMIr do come onboard as part of the takeover do we really see BA keeping it going ? Not that it wouldnt be great to see regional flights back under the BA brand

You better tell the Taiwanese then, as they were all saying it as 'Eevah' whilst I was there.

Some called it "T-ways". In my experience people hate pronouncing a string of letters.

BA DOMESTIC 767

BA made a big play on introducing one 767 rotation per day on the LHR-GLA route just after the BMI withdrawal from the route. Looks like they have withdrawn the 767 from the Summer 2012 schedule though which starts on Sunday. Can anybody confirm if this is permanent?
