Vueling has removed from schedule all its flights from/to LHR (LHR-LCG, LHR-BIO & LHR-FLR routes) for next Summer Season 2014 (although they were put for sale a few weeks ago). Some rumours about BA will take over these routes. Does anyone know anything about this?
British Airways' LHR-ALC route also seems to be cancelled from next 29MAR 2014
Maybe IAG is preparing something new for SS14...

I was a bit surprised to see Mykonos, Porto & Thira being added to the LHR schedule. These all seem well suited to LGW but LHR? Seems a strange set of route choices when slots are seemingly in such shirt supply.
Vueling to LGW seems a good move if true.

787 YYZ
Just home after lengthy delay YYZ. 787 finally declared safe to operate BA 96 after 6 hours of consultation between Boeing and BA engineers. Uneventful flight home. Kudos to captain and crew for successfully keeping us slf in thé loop throughout.

On British Airways 'Manage Booking' and it says about reserving or selecting a seat for the flight... It shows the layout of the plane and the seats I can select and it's showing 50 rows to the back in Economy, which when I Look at the aircraft plans - it appears to be 777-300 woohoo!! Now I'm excited about this, I just want to know if these layouts are accurate or whether it just a guide?

Hi,
Travelling on BA 177 LHR-JFK next February and looked at the seating plan to see what plane we are on and it is 50 rows which a 77W isn't it?
I thought the only flight to JFK on a 77W was BA179? Anyone know if 177 is a 77W or is this an error on the seating plan?
Thanks
