BA crazy routing (and price) !
Just checked Geneva-London-Muscat, and the BA website suggests the following two routings (on the same date, starting at the same time):
OMR435 07:30 20 Feb 08:15 20 Feb Geneva Heathrow (London) BA0723 British Airways Club Europe
09:40 20 Feb 22:40 20 Feb Heathrow (London) Muscat BA0073 British Airways Club World
OMR1090 07:30 20 Feb 08:15 20 Feb Geneva Heathrow (London) BA0723 British Airways Club Europe
09:40 20 Feb 20:30 20 Feb Heathrow (London) Abu Dhabi BA0073 British Airways Club World
21:40 20 Feb 22:45 20 Feb Abu Dhabi Muscat EY0388 Etihad Airways Business
For only an extra OMR655 (1077), you can get off the BA flight, and enjoy an Etihad flight of 40mins, arriving 5mins later than the BA flight. Do BA really think anyone is going to take this option and why even offer it ?
