Sorry Frank where do you get the idea of more long haul flights from LGW. Me thinks it is the other way - less. The airlines operating long haul flights only use LGW because they cannot get slots at LHR. When they become available they move across. LGW in my opinion will NEVER be able to compete with LHR, Paris, Amsterdam etc on long haul destinations it will remain a short/medium operation - nothing wrong with that - with a few long haul leisure destinations and donīt let GIP brainwash in telling you otherwise.
