As Shed said, above.
Meanwhile:
And what about us poor sods in Scotland? When flying (connecting) from LHR, trains take too long, and then dump you in the middle of London. I don't want a LoCo to LGW, STN or LTN, again due to intra-London area travelling hassle AND they'll crucify me with baggage charges!
If our "main" flight is from LHR, then practically speaking, BA is our only option. Thus in fact it's not an "option" as such, there's no real choice. Most of my trips are within Europe or USA-bound, so EK doesn't come in to it. Even to Europe, KLM from GLA often includes an
overnight at AMS before connecting!
A third runway at LHR is already
years (decades?) late!
