It was always the plan goldeneye, The LBA-LHR route was suppose to be only 3 times daily when originally announced, but British Airways surprised everyone by going 4x daily.

BA LBA-LHR
Yes it 3 flights a day from the 31st but the evening flight from LBA arrives at LHR at 22.10 when most of the LH fights have gone, very strange timing for a feeder and the one before that arrives around 17.00 shame it's not more 19.00 which is a good time for most LH connections.

I've been looking to rebook some flights in the summer, and the Saturday timetable has changed twice this evening! At one point there were three flights on a Saturday, now it is back to two again, but with the evening rotation (shown above) replaced by a mid-afternoon one.

Yep I agree with you BKS that the Saturday evening flight has been retimed yet again this evening and the flight will now operate Saturday afternoon instead.

Actually there are some good fares to be had. A friend of mine is going to San Diego in March and the add on was only £7. I was looking at a trip to Washington where it would have been £26. I wonder how such add-ons are handled in the internal accounting.

BA transit at LHR
BA's move to T5 is great news if you are in transit from another BA flight. Present transit from BA international arrival in T5 to BA LDS flight at T1 is a nightmare... I did it last week and decided I would go back to using MAN as that was an easy transfer and contained within T5 - usually walk from inbound a/c and completing formalities takes around 10 minutes.
With a T1 departure, after waiting for the T1 transfer bus and the actual journey to T1 - 20 mins, it took another 10/15 minutes to complete formalities and reach the T1 domestic gate area. Added to that, BA's T1 Domestic lounge (former BM lounge) was third rate to say the very least - as it was lunchtime, would have expected at least some sandwiches, but all that was on offer was cheese and biscuits.

BA transit at LHR
If an airside transfer between LHR-1 and LHR-5 is a "nightmare", do the transfer landside: if one (or both) sectors is domestic this is possible.
Take the train (not the tube) between the two terminals. It's free (the tube isn't), there's four trains/hour, and lifts at each end.

Little bit of wind up at LBA and British Airways cancel all today's LHR slot sitters. What a complete joke of an operation! Especially as all other airlines are operating their flights as normal...

Not saying Nigel was right to cancel (there were breaks in the wind) but more than a little bit of wind.

You know people think I'm negative but geez......
It will be a dead duck until the schedule changes to a night stopping LBA-LHR. Unless that happens for the winter, it's a clear slot sitter, there's just no way to turn a profit without point to point last minute fares. The argument then becomes is that a good use of a prime time arrival slot at LHR.
I hope it proves worth doing that.

Slot sitter
Why have the expense of opening up a new station just for slot sitting?
Wouldn't it be easier just to increase frequencies on existing routes temporarily?
Would expect the schedule to reflect connectivity with BA longhaul at LHR, maybe it doesn't.

Ideal schedule would be a night stopper with two southbound and one nothbound am and the reverse pm. That caters for both point to point and long haul well. The spring/summer schedule seems to me about as good as it gets if you just run three returns but is inevitably an uneasy compromise, first and last southbound are really too late.
