The timetable seems to be settling down a bit now, so we no longer have anomalies like 5 aircraft leaving on a Thursday morning.

As far as I can tell, the bones are the changes amounts to one rotation per week lost from each of Rome, Barcelona, Paris and Lanzarote and more significant cutbacks on Malaga. The beneficiaries are Birmingham and Manchester. Because of the length of the flight sectors, they've managed to squeeze out more rotations out than were lost.

Good to see Birmingham at last getting a business-friendly timetable back. We haven't had one since Aer Arann were on the route. It would be good if we could have the same for Manchester. While fares are lower now and seat numbers higher, BA's 3 flights a day of a decade ago was way more convenient.

Does anyone else think it was a bit late to make these changes considering the new timetable comes into effect in 8 weeks?
