Has anyone heard anything substantial about new worldwide routes from LGW??

There seems to be a few floating around, Mauritius, Nairobi, Vancouver and Toronto to name a few....

To get back to the subject

I work at LGW as a PSA and I have asked the same question, the answer has (unfortunatly) always been no.

As far as YYZ and YVR (I wish they would move, it would make my life easier!!) go they won't move from LHR unless we get some of the Indian routes as these flights have alot of transfer pax from DEL etc

MRU and NBO, this is my personal opinion but I doubt we will get them back, they only went to LHR a few years ago and from what I have heard are doing fairly well

It's a bit late now the summer programme has already started. We can only hope for extra routes later on in the year ! It's a far cry from when we had 32 long-haul hulls at LGW... we live in hope !:)

Yes pips, the reason you are on short haul is probably because you are an illiterate moron. Obviously with all this European flying you are forgetting your english.. enjoy! PS. If you need any of the grammatical constructions in this topic explaining, feel free to ask! :p
