All I can tell you about this flight is that it has been rebranded "BA Connect (operated by GB Airways)".
That's a coded way of saying there will not be BA mainline service on board.
There is no included food anymore, you will have to pay on board for all food and drink.
From people I know using BA Connect from Birmingham, is that the food is better now you have to pay, but they don't always carry enough and if you are in the wrong seats, all the supplies have gone by the time they get to you. Not sure how this will work on your PFO flight from Manchester.
I would be interested to know. So please post your experience.

BA (GB) or is it Connect
Well the trip is over, weather OK, food & wine superb and I've decided I prefer LEON to KEO, but only just;
The 'product' - at the price I paid £220 return was value for money, but the buy now & fly today price of £500+ would seem excessive;
Seating OK got the exit row 11 (or 10) and leg room fine, I'm a heavy 6ft, seat getting tight but thats my problem interesting on way out the seat belt (11C) fiitted but on way back 11D didn't however 11E was OK!!!
IFE - overhead drop downs and head sets at £3 - if your interested, food is BA Connect - on way out Afternoon Tea at £4 including clotted cream & beverage seems fair both quality & value (especially as Tea is £1.60 on its own) - 150ml Coke at £.6 is excessive
Breakfast @ £5 was 7/10
Manchester Security on way out seemed OK, though did overhear one guy objecting to being quizzed abot his wallet contents - his £3000 was OK but apparently he was told that £5000+ could raise questions!!!
Paphos Security is a JOKE and to be honest if I was running a UK security operation I would insist on clearing all Px arriving from PFO as soon as they landed!!!
