Some of us using the BA AGP-LGW route for business would prefer to see one rotation from LHR so we can connect; even 4 days a week would be fine.

Unfortunately from where I live, its a lot easier to get to AGP (1 hr) than GIB (2 1/2 hrs). Anyway we live in hope that they will at least make an effort one day to give us a Heathrow flight. The Vueling SVQ-LHR was great, just a shame VY dropped it for BIO

IAG finalises Vueling takeover - Article - Wales Air Forum
IAG purchase of Vueling is set to be completed by the end of April and it has been stated that there will be no changes at Vueling.
Vueling will remain a stand alone company and CEO Alex Cruz will now report directly to IAG chief chief executive Willie Walsh.
Walsh said: “Vueling is a great airline and will be a welcome addition to IAG where it will benefit from the group’s financial strength.
“We plan to retain Vueling’s current business model and management structure and its strong base in Barcelona.”

I suspect that in the not to distant future IAGwill be made up of 3 Sections
BA all Long Haul [World wide]
Iberia All Long Haul [South America]
Vueling All Short haul that is presently flown by both BA and Iberia

All Vueling flights currently display an Iberia codeshare flight number and flights are available on the Iberia website.
How long will it be until a BA flight number is added and flights available on the BA website if not allready?
Of course there is a small matter of Iberia Express to merge too with a fleet of 18 x A320.
As long as they keep adding capacity at CWL they can do what they like ;-)

Maybe we might see Vueling have a big expansion in the UK

Well yes that's the theory, although it has been a few years since the loss of all the Baby routes, and no-one has really stepped in, apart from Vueling, who spotted a gap in the market and launched no doubt the best performing routes from the past Baby operations, which included PMI and ALC, with AGP added as a further suggestion from CWL management.
For next year, we are hoping to see further expansion from Vueling at CWL with another route or two being added to the network, and maybe some frequency enhancements (maybe). FAO and IBZ are the ones being touted at present, but there is no reason why MAH cannot be added into this as well. Another route operated from CWL in the past that went well was MJV, but Vueling do not have a base there, so for CWL to have that sort of route, a W pattern would be required.
Nonetheless, onwards and upwards to a brighter future. And yes we will almost certainly see more of Vueling in the UK for Summer 2014 and even into 2015.

Impressive financial performance from Vueling during full ownership by IAG (Q3).

I definitely suspect that Vueling will be a big carrier over the next few years. I wouldn't be surprised if they were to set up a UK base. Cardiff is a big possibility.

2016 Manchester look likely to have several routes to be announced this winter plus BCN going upto daily

Interesting that the UK expansion is starting to filter through.
I can't see why they can't work with BA to get brand recognition, they could easily take over Gatwick mainline if it was branded as BA.
