"We’re looking forward to welcoming you at London Gatwick next time you fly with us"
 
...says the e-mail I just received. It appears that it's meant as a blurb for the South Terminal. But how badly phrased! I immediately went to double-check my next reservation to see if my recollection that it is scheduled out of LHR T5 was correct (it was). But I wonder how many passengers will be heading to the wrong airport in response to this e-mail, and how sympathetic BA will be?

Well I wont be heading to LGW either, despite receiving this same BA email, as my next flight, clearly identified in MMB, is to Stavanger!

Exactly my thoughts!! I had a mild panic as my next 3 BA flights are T5, T3 and T3 all during the next 10 days.

I do have an LGW flight in June but I was briefly confused as to whether I had an LGW flight before tomorrow evening when I am off to EWR. They really should re-read these emails with the recipient in mind before they press send :)

Mine was entitled "London Gatwick is having its moment" but said that lounge access is available to "British Airways Gold and Silver Members, Club World business class and First passengers." Glad I'm not a statusless CE passenger :)

I received the same e-mail.Perhaps because I have a reservation in July to JER to see Uncle T.Otherwise I try to avoid LGW.

I got this, with the "having its moment" subject line, and no mention of how long it has been since I last flew from there (getting on for three years, I reckon).

As I went through LGW(S) last week, the email went straight into "Trash" ;)

I got this email today and I'm flying from LGW tomorrow, I thought it was linked to that but it's a coincidence.

I really want to try the new lounges, but I avoid LGW for any long haul because of the state of the Gatters 777 fleet, and on many of the routes that I fly most often, LHR either offers the best or sometimes the only option.

I've never flown from LGW with BA either, but somehow managed to get this email!

Anyone able to tell me how this will save me money? Does the monorail cost now?

AndreaMD Apr 20, 2017 8:18 am

Hi guys! received that one too this morning.
What really worries me is the "official" comparison to Easyjet and Ryanair at the bottom of it...

< We’re proud to let you know that we were more punctual than Ryanair and Easyjet on short haul departures from London Gatwick in 2016 >

As much as I prefer to avoid LGW, the change to the South terminal and the new lounges will make my RAK trip a little more enjoyable.
