Many here may see this as a positive for the CityFlyer product. E190s have substantially more legroom + the extra legroom seats in rows 1 & 2 to keep crewing requirements to 2 people, whereas the E170s are nose to tail at the tightest pitch.

I used to use LCY-ORY on a regular basis and have fond memories of each of them. Glad they’re not going to the scrap heap at 11-years old!

Likewise I used to fly the E170s from LCY to ORY having connections ted down from Glasgow on the E190. Definitely preferred the front row on the 190 to the 170. I need to travel to Paris next month and not only did BA give up on the ORY route a couple of years ago which I found very convenient in Paris, but there are currently no BA flights between LHR and CDG. AF it is then
