somewhat OT: I was intrigued with JAXBA's relative optimism re the LHR - CAI service running as scheduled, and went to look at Expert Flyer to see how many seats were still for sale in the days immediately preceding/following July 4, and was shocked to not find a single Y seat available for sale LHR - CAI on any date between July 1 - 7, and literally only a single PE seat (and that only on a single date). I understand that there's not much competition on the route, but honestly hadn't expected to find it sold out. My OT query: are such advance sales to Egypt normal for this time of year? Are these filled with group tours that agencies pre-purchase far in advance, effectively replacing private charters? If that's the case, then I can absolutely see BA trying to replace such a flight with a wetlease charter (though obviously not the QR ones discussed in another thread ). Any insights would be appreciated.
