Greetings Jon Baldwin, welcome to Flyertalk and welcome to the BA board in particular, it's great to see you here, may we see plenty more of you. Thank you for the question too.

And my commiserations. Well, if the aircraft isn't too full the Avro lease isn't too bad, it's the same level of service as the BA Cityflyer normal offering. If it is full, then that will make for a much more uncomfortable journey that the super E190s. At the moment the loadings don't look too bad, but it's some way to go. One would hope that if the loadings pick up then they may switch to a better aircraft. It's a relatively long trip for LCY if it is jammed, so I'd think about moving to LHR if the push came to the shove.
