Totally baffling. And don't worry - while it's always fun to try and second guess the system, I'm fully prepared for the overnight W experience....

Different markets can be shown different availability, so the answers may depend on who exactly you're asking.

At the moment, BA248 on 16 May is showing this to the UK market:

J9 C0 D0 RC IC
W5 E3 T2
Y9 B3 H0 K0 M0 LC VC SC NC QC OC G0

But this to the US market:

J9 C3 D1
W5 E3 T4
Y9 B9 H9 K7 M7 O2 G0
