Update

Just had a phone call from the BA Holiday chap to ask if I was aware I'd been rerouted onto the 2020 to MXP. Glad he called as EDI told me I was flying tomorrow, I'd've missed my flight otherwise!

I use to pick the 767 operated flights from LHR to EDI and vice-versa for a nice change from the A320 and siblings, but had technical problems on my last 3 trips, all either require an aircraft swap or total cancellation.

Yes, and a cabin crew member has reported elsewhere that currently 3 of these 7 birds are now in the sick bay. I hope that's not 4 with this one.

That's good news and nice to have someone at BA being proactive.

I get the distance to be

EDI-LIN 1463.07km
GLA-LIN 1502.50km

I'll get my pusser's dividers out to measure it....

Just got to LHR, the GLA flight was delayed by 40 minutes but the MXP flight is also delayed too so it balances out... it'll be a short night in Milan!

Thanks for all the help guys and for keeping me smiling.
