Hi True Blue,
Yes BA have reduced the frequency to 5/6 daily. Hardly surprising given that last Winter loads collectively on BHD LHR were in the region of 50-55%, and no doubt as the final months of EI and BE capacity together on LGW will lead to a lot of low priced seats....
It is surprising that BA has such a late departure, in fact EI has first out and last back, even if first out is only 5 minutes earlier. , Across summer on many occasions I have used the BA 0635 and EI 0730, the loads on EI seemed greater on their later departure time. I would combine an 0730 EI with an earlier that EI late departure back e.g. 1635 or 1755. Noticed others faces doing this.... Hence a slightly later than 0635 departure may be more popular.. However, it's probably down to slot availability.
It is also worth noting that this time last year BA also started off with an 0750 departure changing it later into the season...
