Very interesting to read about this on here. Yes i believe forward bookings are not too strong. NRT has been well down of late in fact i can only recall 1 time since feb when it has been full. I follow this routes loads a lot as i have a lot of interests that way. Someone told me it would never be dropped due to amount of Cargo etc.
Waterbench I feel a little bristolian bias my friend in rgds too FCA.lol. Am i right they charge for IFE and drinks. If im wrong please correct me. However Florida is just one route out of many more that are more lucarative.
LHR-HKG is exceptionally busy nearly everyday its full or heavily overbooked.
NRT looks like a case of nerves regarding London tourist attacks. From my experience of living in Japan i dont think this reaction was unexpected. I would like to know how the loads on BA JAL ANA are on this route. Can anyone help me on that??
Anyhow keep the faith dudes.
