upon which time (after gate turnaround) to do the 456 to MAD: 0620-0940

And then come back to LHR for the turn around to do the DXB next run on 3rd Sept: 1055-1215


Obviously the timing is tight in the above tables (and dates show a week difference but that is just me being lazy in grabbing screenshots)...we also know that BA give themselves plenty of time in the above flight times to deal with delays so it could be feasible to do this rotation (although it is more trouble to do long haul, change to CE meals then change back to CW meals but maybe that is also good for familiarisation? and given lighter loads on MAD run they could utilise some extra galley space for the change overs?)

Appreciate that a poster has said it won't do the MAD run in Sept...but let's check what that is based on before we jump to conclusions? (I appreciate my thoughts above are tenuous and leave no play room but just want to check this before we assume too much...

Thoughts? (or point out my error in logic?
