LYS
So yet another route goes back to 'via a hub' option only. Although both BE and WW are both very valid suggestions for a replacement carrier on BHX-LYS, I would be surprised if either do as once a route disappears at BHX it rarely seems to come back (FCO, BCN, PRG, LIS and VCE (didn't BA/Maersk do that one for a while?)) excepted. For these five, LYS is just one more to add to the list of around another 20 or so (both short and long haul) destinations that have disappeared from the departure boards at BHX to never see the light of day again!
OP I hope you are not right about GOT.......
On the plus side rumours are circulating again of a third daily EK in the future? Although only a rumour it is more likely to happen than QR or EY gracing BHX?
