I'll second that Fernanjet. The bus transfers are working well and there always seems to be one at the stop. They say that there is a bus every 3 minutes and the journey time is another 5 or so. You really need to be hoping that your inbound is not delayed at all.

Best of luck.

The Centurion Air Cargo has already departed (it left just after 0430) but the MK 747 is still on the ground at the moment. Looking like they plan to leave shortly though, maybe as soon as 1000

Probably as a result of airborne ash clouds from the Soufriere Hills Volcano in Montserrat. LIAT suspended all operations in Antigua yesterday afternoon.

Gatwick Security

I know this makes a change from the usual anti-security rants, but I would like to go on record to say how good the Gatwick security process has been when I used Gatwick [twice] in February.
Short waiting times [including the extra search when we left for the USA] and a pleasant attitude by the staff themselves. For once I got to deapartures feeling in a good mood!

BA @ Gatwick

The paragraph below I have taken from The Cabin Crew thread and is from the offer made by Ba to the cabin crew. Is there an agreement between unions and Ba which limits/prevents long haul expansion at Lgw?

"It is accepted that restrictions within the Gatwick Fleet memorandum of agreement limit the long haul route network. It is agreed that discussions will be held with a view to removing these restrictions to provide the best opportunities for growth in the long haul network at Gatwick, for the benefit of the business and our people."

I have no idea if such agreement exists or not, but if it does them I really hope it is removed. Gatwick is now pretty limited for long haul options, especially west bound.

Somebody needs to serve New York from Gatwick-its Britain's second largest airport and no-one flys there!! Who would fly that route though? CO, DL, BA, VS?
