CXA8711 did the normal north side route off LAM then JAL43 DLH5EL ANA211 QTR7452 (after a spin) then BAW2761 went on the North route.
happens occasionally if there’s a lot of traffic via LAM and BNN compared to BIG and OCK. Been rerouted LAM>BIG a fair few times over the years albeit, not since COVID.
