If BACF falls out of love with LCY, the airport has a problem as BACF has become very dominant there.
Other than Cityjet and Flybe, there are now only 9 other airlines serving 11 destinations from LCY. Cityjet is just a shade of its former glory and may well disappear from LCY completely sooner than later. And it remains to be seen if Flybe will stick it out this time at LCY.
Also during the week? Unitil now, they have simply made use of them over the weekend to work around the LCY curfew and get better utilization out of the fleet.

BA seem to be using the aircraft better away from LCY, maybe it's a sign of things to come, it's an expensive airport!

Thanks, I forgot about that. Wonder why they don't give Tours or Poitiers a go then - I know that Ryanair serves both from STN, but BACF@LCY supposedly caters for a different type of traveller.

BA LCY/JFK
May I ask for any information on the transit procedures for these flights through SNN; for the US pre-clearance formalities, do the pax disembark via a jetway or remote stand/bussing? Likewise, are the checked bags removed for Customs pre-clearance, or cleared on arrival JFK. Thanks for any info.

After clearing USPC, British Airways passengers will wait in a lounge like area beside the gate before baording is called.

Re BA LCY/JFK @ AerRyan: so the pax arrive at JFK as domestic pax, but their baggage will then be cleared at JFK through US Customs - are the bags regarded as arriving domestically as well?

Once at JFK, we just walked off the plane and out to baggage reclaim. No customs or immigration. Very easy.

When i did LCY-SNN-JFK we got off at SNN using an air bridge. Passengers with checked luggage were asked to wait in a lounge area and passengers with hand baggage only went through then we followed. You clear immigration and then they ask you if the picture of your bag is yours and then you go airside at SNN where there are toilets, a duty free shop and seats. We were then pretty much called for boarding right away.

Once you are through Pre-Clearance, you are technically in the US. It is considered a domestic arrival.

This appears to describe no customs check at all, which seems unlikely. Where do they pick up that you bought 20 bottles of liquor in the Shannon duty free, or in the aircraft ?
Something a loco's will have to balance between additional costs and loss of on board revenue before using such a facility.
Passengers are disembarked via an Airbridge in Shannon, bags are not removed but a photo of your bag will be taken in LCY and you will asked to confirm that that is infact your bag while going through preclearance.
