Shush you
Don't go giving them any nasty ideas about LGW...
In all seriousness, there's actually quite a bit of transatlantic feed to and from LCA - not just those "chavs" you so love to hate - so moving the service from LHR probably doesn't make much sense. And the fares are not really ex EU cheapos either any more. They used to be, but lately there are no real bargains to be had at all (if you require some sort of flexibility).
On the other hand recently BA have allowed passengers on BA fares to the US to travel on CY between Cyprus and London. There were quite a few American gentlemen on my flight last week connecting onto BA service to the US. If they reduce the number of seats by switching to 32S, then perhaps they could send more business CY's way. Now if they would only offer TPs and miles
Question for
Jumbodriver: Do the 321s have the range for LCA? I thought only the 320s could do it.
