I am sure this is a reference to Pula and Murcia. Still Montpellier should feature in the kanderson1965 atlas. Incidentally Santiago starts in January too, plus I suspect at least 2 more longhaul routes coming up.

Good fares indeed but add a UK domestic connection and they more than double on the dates I've checked.

Tried to book ORD-FLL-LGW for s*$('s and giggles but no luck, all the itineraries want to go via DUB (makes sense honestly).
Feel like next year is going to be a bloodbath for yields next year on TATL... hopefully some of it will hit me in ORD (calling DY longhaul...)

The thing to make BA stand out from DY at LGW would be the overall package. So BA holidays, exec club, lounge, and some onward connectivity.
As I said in the FLL thread I would hope that BA also have plans for additional shorthaul frames for LGW and to return to some domestic and euro destinations.

Cornishsimon, even when BA REPEATEDLY say LGW is a p2p base unviable as a hub you keep plugging away at them to turn the clock back to 1993. Fair play for consistency but there's not a decent business case for going back to a model that lost millions.

Of course CWS, fine rugby playing part of the world. Had to drag out the atlas for the rest though. I must admit PDX would be nice for me as we have a new site out there, MSP would be great also
