And some decent rail lines to Heathrow - compared to AMS it's embarassing. West to Bristol and North to Bhm/Leeds/Manchester at least. There's another 9 slots I've just freed up for you
LHR to NYC might well be the single most lucrative route in the world. You are correct they don’t need 29 flights a day. They probably need closer to 50.
