I'd love a return of HAM-LCY, I was only able to use it once just before it was shut down and the time from touchdown to entering my hotel room in central London was under one hour (including waiting for baggage, DLR and the Tube).
I'm fine with LHR in the opposite direction because reasons (Lounge).

Minsk MSQ. Now that Brits no longer need a visa for trips up to 30 days, would make a good addition.

LHR - KUL/SIN/HKG - CGK/DPS (as a tag-on fifth freedom flight, given the seemingly low demand between UK and Indonesia)

Boeing Vertols? LHR - LGW was operated by a Sikorsky S61 registered G-LINK. The M25 put paid to her operating career.

Direct flights from MAN (and possibly other places outside London) to European destinations. They operated for years using the 99-seat BAC111-500, so CityFlyer rather than mainline might have a great chance of success. Direct flights, in either direction, would permit on to do a full afternoon's work, rather than having to leave early to connect through LHR.

Failing that, a very late evening flight from LHR to MAN.

Less Costa del Sol, more Balkans and Caucasus.

But it's Britain, so it'll never happen.

Dundee to LCY with CityFlyer please.
Stansted is a PITA with Loganair.

I'd like BA to fly to Manila and Saigon (hcmc)

reason:- the BA refusal to interline is killing me on my onewold group Europe-Asia-Manila (via KUL or HKG). (MNL - Asia - EU not issue as CX, MH inteline my bags fo me )

If I book online has to be made as either
A)FLIGHT #1 AMS/BRU -> LHR -> KUL/HKG & FLIGHT #2 KUL/HKG -> MNL (Avoids the UK APD, flight stating ex-EU usuall cheaper, BUT have to exit immigation, collect bags + recheckin, can't get back aiside if flight fist thing next morning)
OR
B)FLIGHT #1 AMS/BU -> LHR & FLIGHT #2 LHR > -KUL/HKG -> MNL (Hits me with i) UK APD ii)higher fares as not an ex-EU fare, iii)have to go landside in LHR to recheck my luggage ..... but at KUL/HKG need not do luggage echeck, so iv)can make tight connections, v)can stay aiside

That’ll be because the train is a much less compelling option to AMS than it is to BRU. At least for the time being

5th freedom or tag ons are hugely expensive and almost impossible to make money on which is why BA avoids them.
