Add an hour onto this for the amount of time that one sits on the plane, etc, and you are talking about 5:40, 6:20 and 6:50 respectively, Now the AMM and CAI things are new and they have not actually flown any flights on these routes yet with BoB, so we'll see if it happens, but when you consider that the savant Alex Cruz had even seemingly admitted that they got it wrong on the longer routes I have a feeling that Covid or no Covid, such routes are not going back to strict BoB.
That it's criminal not to serve food for free on these flights. Is it cheap? Sure. Does it look bad? Yeah, definitely. Is it detrimental to BA's brand? I have my opinion about brand, everyone has.

But criminal? I mean, seriously?!
