Are you seeing ORY-LHR flights beyond 29 October?

Is there really demand to fly (for example) EDI-LHR-ORY-JFK? And in that case you can now fly EDI-LCY-ORY-JFK, right?

Interesting to see LCY-KEF, and could be quite handy for me under certain circumstances.

As an aside, is KEF the first destination served by BA with no lounge access at either end for us mere Silvers?

No IBZ is one other example.

Cityjet used to have a similar LCY ORY service but lost the codeshare with AF a while ago and canned the route in March IIRC.
Pricing will be interesting compared to the Eurostar.

Sunday ORY-LCY 14:00 service is poor for weekend leisure.

Odd they are still there. I am sure they will be removed in due course.

I believe the reason BA flies to ORY is solely due to Openskies. It seems to me there are a fair amount of connection, at least on the services I was on.

Interesting. Not my impression but I usually use thurs night our Monday am back so wouldn't be the right time to connect ... club cabin never more than 4 rows though, unlike the cdg bunfight with 10 rows plus of club and 60 in the priority boarding line

Was. very leasantly surprised to see this on LCY facebook page. Prague will be of most interest to me as long as it is an E190. I typically fly CE to Prague but a bit miffed you get a panini in the new CE so I was thinking of reverting to Swiss. Via Zurich but this is a game changer.

You'll add 2 hours plus to a 2 hour journey just because catering was downgraded from a small mediocre meal to a mediocre panini?

This is good news! Munich would have been perfect (instead of Prague). But ORY and KEF are nice additions.

PRG is perfect for me. WAW is my second base alongside BHX so PRG is practically on my doorstep from there. Means I can avoid LHR if wanting to go direct to/from PRG.

KEF is a bit of a difference to GRX, especially if we're talking about the winter schedule.

But in order to get to WAW you would still need to arrange a DIY connection from PRG (e.g. LCY-PRG on BA and PRG-WAW on LO) and, considering the numerous options you have from BHX, you wouldn't really travel to London in order to travel LCY-PRG-WAW on separate tickets But then, we're on FlyerTalk
