Winter 2017 schedule - when is it confirmed?
I was looking at flights today from Scotland to Gatwick on Boxing Day. There only seem to be two flights - one after 1300 and one around 2000, neither of which make connections possible. Is it possible or at all likely that there will be more flights added over coming months or will that be it?
I'd like to know as soon as possible rather than hold out false hope.

Edinburgh is no better and the connection goes out of Gatwick. I wouldn't chose to transfer between LHR and LGW with luggage on Boxing Day. If there are no more flights likely I'll book with someone other than BA which isn't a problem. Just trying to work out if it was worth waiting to see.

The trains don't run, so getting to Gatwick is much harder (and probably to Glasgow airport too). This decreases demand, likely more than removing the long distance train option from the few who strongly wish to travel that day. Business travel is also close to nil.
