slightly off topic but this thread made me check how the schedule change would impact my most frequent route at the moment between Dusseldorf and Glasgow and was dissapointed to see it isn't good!

At present I can do a full day in the office in Dusseldorf and get a flight departing at 19:20 with a reasonable connection which gets me in to Glasgow around 22:20. On a Sunday I can leave Glasgow at 17:10 and arrive in to Dusseldorf with a reasonable connection at 22:00. In the Summer schedule I'll need to leave DUS at 18:05 - ok, I'll get to Glasgow 20 minutes earlier, but I'll also have to leave Glasgow 1h40min earlier on the Sunday - with long connections at Heathrow in both directions. I suspect this will push more of my flights on to KLM.
