BA Fifth Freedom flights in the Caribbean

If the mods can make this thread a wiki (which I have no idea how to create), that would probably be best because I assume the schedules change frequently. The list took a couple of hours to compile...perhaps there is some easier way than the brute-force approach that I used, but I don't know what that way is!

Would it not be a good idea to explain what the list is?

It's in the thread title ... it's intended to be a comprehensive list of fifth freedom flights operated by BA in the Caribbean.

Wiki created. (The option is there under the Thread Tools menu above the first post.)

There's a lot of Avios availability on those sectors, which I suppose could come in handy from time to time.

But, so that people don't get confused, Reward flights don't count towards your 4 BA flights

Interesting that WTP is available on such short flights, how many Tier Points would a 45 minute flight earn?

Good question! I suppose it might be 25 or 30 given full Y is 20 and J 40.

Changes to BA routes are usually given here: http://airlineroute.net/category/british-airways/

I keep an eye on it so if I see anything affecting this thread I'll post it here

These are fifth freedom (i.e., tag on) flights ultimately from or to Gatwick or Heathrow, but with an intermediate stop. So they are operated by a 777 or a 747. Some have first class.

The other place to look is in the Middle East, e.g., AUH-MCT, and there is DOH-BAH as well. But they are not well timed.
