I'm booked on BA2277/6 LGW-LAS-LGW in April. Just checked, flights showing on Ba.com web but at horrific prices, I paid nothing like what's showing, so either some background data changes going on or I've done the deal of the century with BA by booking so early!

Is there a chance BA might take on Norwegian on some of the routes it serves from LGW particularly JFK? Norwegian seem to be having some success with the route, going daily so could BA have another go at the route?

Must be a bug with the app , I'm using a desktop to access BA.COM ,
and LGW/LAS is currently bookable thru w15/16 op on days 2/4/6.
In S16 it is bookable on days 1/3/6 .Apr prices are in most cases cheaper then the LHR/LAS service , and MAY dates are def bookable.

CX to start LGW?
There is some talk on FT and A.net of CX considering a return to LGW and asking customers what they think about each of the main London airports (with a particular focus on LGW).
Will be interesting to see if anything comes from this, a daily 77W/A350 could be a good supplement to the 5 LHR flights. It would also be a good point to point option as well as providing some new connection opportunities via BA's network for HKG based passengers.

CX back at LGW would be amazing. If Emirates can make a big success off LGW and clearly they do, then maybe there are lessons for others. There's masses of demand for HKG so maybe they could make an LGW service work alongside their LHR ops

If you choose a date when Lgwlas does not operate , you get the rather misleading response "BA does not operate Lgw/Las " eg.03may
If you choose a date when Lgw/Las does operate , you are offered a choice of LHR or LGW eg.04May
Lgw prices are generally lower than LHR , so nothing to indicate inventory is being restricted.

Yes Las is on sale. I love the way the BA site takes you to Lhr at every opportunity, whether you want that or not. Not much difference in price on the dates I looked at in economy, both sections, but business more expensive from Lhr. So if you are starting in London, why would you pay more to fly from Lhr as opposed to Lgw. The difference is about £500.

If you look back through the recent posts on here your find Skipness One Echo initially started the 'rumour' of BA dropping LGW to LAS, any chance of having a dig ex long haul from Gatwick as normal.

Who started that rumour.... ??!
Yes my bad, I was actually trying to book and the BA website told me "British Airways do not operate flights between London Gatwick and Las Vegas McCarran Intl".
It's a known bug and is being addressed.
To be clear, the rumour came from BA's own website explicitly saying they did not operate their own route.
It's not a football team, it's a business, stop being so tribal and learn how the market works, what you see as a "dig", a personal affront, is actually a quantifiable marketing reality. Calling someone's mum fat is a dig......
