Which BA routes aren't served daily?
 

News of the new SCL four times a week route got me thinking as to which other routes aren't served on a daily basis throughout the year?
I only know of EZE.

I got as far as Biarritz, Chania, Chengdu, Faro and Grand Cayman Island before getting too bored to continue looking through the OneWorld Timetable!

Lots! N.B. in your neck of the woods GIG has been reduced to 5 weekly from this winter.

More than I thought. ^

Add Tampa to that list.

Split as well

Muscat was announced as going to 5 times a week non-stop recently.

Palermo is twice a week I believe.

If seasonal routes count Santorini was the most recent one I was looking at, operating sat/sun/wed/thurs.

Costa Rica & lots of the Caribbean routes...

Yes a lot of the LGW services, quite a lot of LCY service are not daily (ANE, UIP, CMF) and much of these wonderful T5 beach destinations are in there. Ditto the ski destinations like FDH. Also the Iberia Express services slowly creeping into T5. Asturias anyone? (Really cheap fares, incidentally). My generally approach is if I have to think what airport code is CMF, it probably won't be daily!

Now the implications is that for weekend and other short trips there can be problems linking up a suitable schedule. I did Bergerac recently:

which is actually do-able, but you do have to watch the timings, particularly given in this case Bergerac is quite dead on a Mondays.

The other implication is that if irrop'd somewhere like this, BA may get lumped with hotel bills for several days if they cancel a service.

KRK was 4 times a week last summer, 3 times a week over the winter

Currently daily

Porto I think.

Some long haul ex LHR which are not daily services:
CTU, LAD, NAS, GCM

MRU is only x 3 I believe.

Even more than I thought.

I used to think whenever a service was reduced from daily to 4 or 5 weekly it meant it was one step away from being axed altogether but it would seem some routes can be run successfully at a reduced frequency.

KEF (Reykjavík) is only 3 times a week from LHR too.

Not for much longer it won't be - it's going daily from October.

Methinks Malta should go daily again following their generous douze points for us in last weekend's Eurovision.

To my continued annoyance, the LGW-GOA route does not fly on Tuesdays for some reason

That annoyance reminds of the time when PHX did not have a flight on Wednesdays. Well, for a period there was, then wasn't and now there is again (since spring of 2015 I'm thinking).

MEX is not daily either. Don't think anyone has mentioned it.

PLS twice a week, based on recent experience of looking for flights.

Flights that are not daily certainly can and do make revenue for the airline, many short haul routes started off less than daily, as did some long haul and as business on said route picked up, frequencies rise.

Some routes cannot be served daily due to government restrictions. LAD is a prime example of a route only served twice per week which does (or did) generate considerable revenue but which cannot be operated more than twice weekly without negotiation with the Angolan authorities.

On a side note, the crews often love a route not served daily, again particularly on long haul as we get longer in said destination ;)

It currently is.

KLX. Seasonal and only 3 a week, I think.

YUL, 6 flights a week if I am not wrong

Edit
Just checked and I am wrong but last winter it was definitely 6 days a week, back to 7 now.

Gosh, so it is! LHR to MEX every day and in an aeroplane that features F.

When I last flew there it was three flights a week so the demand for Mexico must be much higher. Great, it's a nice place.

Over winter EZE is indeed not daily; however the summer timetable is daily. Only reason I know is I flew on the last Thursday during the winter schedule earlier this year. My bags flew on the next flight which I thought (and hoped!) was Friday....turned out it was Saturday! Luckily BA EZE ground staff were excellent regarding the delayed baggage, so it wasn't too big a hassle.
POS is another non daily.

And IIRC (others may perhaps confirm/deny ...?) many years ago it was actually only a twice-weekly - and as such a very strong favourite with crew. Not surprisingly ! In the days before cost-control and cutbacks, they would be left to enjoy a 3 or 4 day layover on the lovely Mauritian beaches ;) But I also seem to think that some time later BA management introduced dead-heading arrangements back to DXB where they would be rostered for other sectors.

(MRU was always linked with SEZ ......but I imagine it's all different now.....)

Thanks goodness! Tough building my trips there around BA schedule. Next week ended up on wow and FI so daily will be a big help!
