It's a bad example to use really. You'd be on slightly stronger ground on a service which has direct competition at LHR and which isn't full - there will be plenty of examples there that can be picked on. Where you would be on much stronger ground is in 3 months time, looking at Swiss v BA for fares and availability between LHR and GVA.
