I think I suggested this a while back on another thread - indeed it used to be a thing between LGW and LHR using the Boeing Vertols I believe. Great way to do the transfer, and nicely ties the two airports together imho (ie ending the debate on additional runway I hope).

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).

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.

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
