So I would imagine there would be time for some service. A direct routing would take the flight along the South coast so I would imagine it will take a more inland routing, perhaps towards Bristol.
Interesting! Especially what with the FIRST lounge a possibility before the flight. Sounds like a nice weekend break to me....
Well that depends on how busy the ATC sector around Southampton is... on the outbound LGW-NQY flight you fly just north of the coast. The return trip is more complicated though. As you approach Bournemouth, you are quite likely to find the plane doing a 45 degree right turn to fit in with traffic onbund from the south. This may take you as far south as south of the Isle Of Wight, before turning back up to hit land around the Selsey Bill area.
