NCL - LHR

Looks like significant reductions in this service for summer 2006 versus last summer and the current winter schedule. Mon to Fri 6x returns instead of 7. The16 15 to LHR is dropped, so after the 13 55 you have to wait untill 17 45 for the next one(nearly 4 hrs) At weekends it is worse, the current 7, Saturday flights become 4, with timings that leave about 6 hrs between some departures. On Sun the current 6, becomes 5. Altogether a reduction of 9, flights a week.
They seem to be spoiling what is now a very good and heavily used service by the new timings/ frequencys The airport pax stats will certainly be affected by this!.
We have a booking on the 16 15 NCL LHR with an onward connection just after the new timetable starts, it was all booked and confirmed (tickets issued) with Virgin so we await with interest to see what they say and do.
