NCE is certainly confusing with near simultaneous flights to LHR and LGW from gates about 10 feet apart, but more so for pax when booking. Some friends only discovered while abroad that they had booked an outgoing flight from LHR but a return to LGW. Car was parked at LHR of course.

Charges at airports and en route ATC are generally per ton based on maximum take off weight so 247t for a 777 and 74.5t times 2 for the A320s.

Had similar in DOH last year where they have 3 BKK flights leaving within 30mins of each other. At least they had the decency to have them on next door gates to one another, but still confusion reigned!

It was rescheduled after 2 weeks.
Looks like BA are gonna try and test them again at the start of the S19 schedule. This time they have on a Thursday 3 LHR and 1 LCY departures in just 25 mins,

17:30 BA1455 LHR
17:35 BA1433 LHR
17:40 BA8709 LCY
17:55 BA1437 LHR
