Thanks for the LBA 757 NYC heads up, I never knew that (living down here in the South) - yes having worked with the 757 since 1983 they are an irreplaceable and versatile beast.
Does Jet 2 have a payload limit out of LBA for NYC?
Going westbound we didn't send the 757 back then to NYC - we went mostly to Orlando Mexico and the Caribbean (with a stop at Bangor usually, except from GLA and NCL that could make it non-stop both ways on occasion)
Going the other way (East) from LGW we could do BAH or DXB non stop usually (EB and WB) but with around 205 pax (Not 223, 228
or 235 as was the 757 max's back then)
