And that 238 day flight does have. Second busiest after the early evening departure of the 3 or 4 daily rotations. And as mentioned in subsequent posts the 239 late outbound is also often packed in W and above, especially later in the week, given it allows a full working day in the UK. I very much expect that any 238/9 pair suspensions are brief, given a long history. Don't want to be proved wrong for entirely selfish reasons, 239 in particular!
