So what’s going on there? Is this in preparation of shutting down from LGW and they’re reserving FAO to LHR slots as a minimum?
Whats the likelihood of flights from LGW in late September? Are they still pulling LGW operations?
I'm slightly confused by the question, so apologies if I have this wrong. There are plenty of LHR-FAO-LHR & LGW-FAO-LGW flights at the end of September - but it seems slightly randomised - as to the amount of daily rotations - seems BA slotting in departures where they can - and LCY-FAO is dropped by then. I think it's just the day you looked at - have a look a day later? I can't see a day with no FAO-LGW loaded - are you just checking Avios availability rather than cash?
Now until Sep 6th - mix of LHR/LCY - FAO (up to 5 flights a day)
Last LCY-FAO-LCY on 06 Sep
First LGW-FAO-LGW on 09 Sep (3 rotations in fact, none from LHR that day)
Then a mix of LGW/LHR & vv daily from that date (0-2 LHR departures, 2-4 LGW departures) right through until October.
