This may have helped drive the difference.
Whoa, I didn't exepect people get so passionate about SJC (or is it because it is 5 pm on the East Coast and BWI fans have already hit pubs?
As I said - I don't really have strong opinion about SJC, it could be a gold mine for BA. But. Shaghai, you mentioned, ends on September 15, PEK and FRA are only operated 3 days a week. So LHR and NRT are the only daily intercontinental routes, methinks there must be a reason. Although, I am totally open to be wrong.
