Correct!

I tried several times last year to check best deal MAN-JFK and was frequently offered a routing via LHR.
I think they fill the LHR flights first.

This year I tried to use some air miles to get to JFK.
The web site always seems to try and route you thru LHR. again!!
However when I telephoned the BA Exec club and requested MAN-JFK direct availability, I got it!

I think BA did the same thing with the old MAN-LAX route
They dont really want to keep the route open so they direct traffic, especially premium, which makes the money, via LHR
then say its not cost effective.

Well of course it is'nt, they make sure that this is the case.
BA want all traffic via their hub , LHR. Fact..
