LOL !
MrD saw a 777 heading west on approach to LHR on Monday (we were driving westbound on the Commercial Road) 'look, there's a plane that just left London City Airport' .......
Despite the fact I knew I would be flamed for my aviation geekiness I just had to put him straight !
He still thinks that 737s fly from there, I hadn't the heart to tell him

I'd prefer if they found a way to minimise time spent in the holding pens at the gate (which is probably an unrealistic expectation given apron traffic patterns require boarding in short sharp bursts).

I did notice on my last trip they were segregating the CE pax at the gate in a special area by the door, so that might count as a lounge! 
I've always wondered why they don't at least offer a food voucher from any of the eateries there. Enough to cover say a sandwich, muffin and coffee would be nice. Date the vouchers so they can't be accumulated.

Would be nice if BA made a play for DUB-LCY. There's probably not room for two players but I bet they would stand a chance of winning in a battle with AF. It would look nice on their DUB schedule to have twice as many flights to London without spending precious Heathrow slots.

I would of thought it would be an ideal route for one of the leased S2000s to fill in any down time tbh.
Even if just seasonal ?
