BA0268 LAX-LHR 21:30d 15:45a A380
These timings seem odd for the 380. If it spent less time on the ground at LAX and came home a bit earlier, they would only need one aircraft to serve this route. But with these timings, they cant do it with just one as there isn't long enough to turn it around at LHR. Seems like a needless complication to the schedule.
