Ive just heard that BA's LCY-JFK flights using a A318 will have a fuel stop in BHD for every flight. I thought the whole idea of having a small but capable aircraft to do this route was the reason they chose a A318, now, I wonder why didnt they use something like the B737 which would have made it all the way with only 30-40 seats. This whole A318 thing does seem a bit far fetched, and I dont many people will be happy about taking a small aircraft from a small airport in the centre of london which is a nightmare to get too, theres a lack of facilities, and the flight has to have a fuel stop, and because its world class it will cost twice more than flying from heathrow, on a bigger plane, a brand new T5 and its cheaper and I think its easier to get to, just straight of the motorway.
