But if on a given day everything is working very much to plan then they focus resources on the next priority group, and it wouldn't surprise me if DUB and OSL is in this now.
I think exactly the same. So much has been made of these on here -even down to the clinic thread, I am certain that they are catching on what is going on.What I cannot tell is the extent of this.

Am I right in saying that if that if the last flight was not on the itinerary, the fare would be more or less the same as out from London? If this is not taken, are there circumstances where the carrier could come back at you for the fare difference, or take your points away or some such. Do they have a legal right?

As I see it, if you are willing to risk not taking the last flight, the best thing is to book a connection for the following day (within 24 hours - or from LCY or LGW if that is possible).
