Why would United put four J passengers on BA, when they have multiple direct and indirect UA flight options daily and also indirect options through Europe involving star alliance carriers? Are there any precedents where this has happened between LHR and NYC?
It does happen -- and I've had had this happen both ways -- BA to UA (for my colleagues) and UA to BA (for me) -- but not in the AC (after COVID) world....
