There used to be a chartered Flight to Almeria on BA metal when we first started to go to Mojacar 20 years ago.
Scraping the bottom of the memory barrel but it may have been Barwell Travel?

BA420 and 421 used to be LUX, going back a few years. Sometimes BA digs out historic flight numbers to give to "new" routes, which are often routes that stopped being economic in the early Noughties. But in this case they haven't.

Just booked on the inaugural LHR>LEI (in CE) on Tuesday 27th March; second sector of an ABZ>LHR>LEI trip.
New route to test for us, skipping MAD altogether and then not having to do MAD>GRX (Granada) or the 5-hour road trip. We are pretty much equidistant from LEI, GRX and AGP (Malaga), so nice to try something new. Also will test LEI's handling of a disabled pax.
Any other FT-ers going - we appear to be the only two in CE so far?
