Did BA cancel the TRN route from the end of June to the start of November?

Looks like Genoa has also been suspended for the duration of the summer schedule.

If it does go ahead I'd imagine they'll be pretty lightly loaded up top with all the restrictions in place at both ends. Residents of Brazil/Argentina are still able to travel there. As are residents of the UK coming back..... plus the associated red list hotel quarantine stay and testing costs. Those in transit via LHR may be a consideration. As may cargo below in the hold.
Thanks 1Aturnleft

No-one can enter Brazil if they have been in the UK in the past 14 days - the Brazilian ban was imposed before the UK ban.

Where can you see that the UK ban lifts on 15 April ? (curious to know where these things are published)

Lift was probably a bad word on my part. The ban imposed is due to EXPIRE on 15APR hence the introduction on 23APR of the GRU/EZE service.

BA have extended the season for Skiathos. Instead of ending early Sept, it now runs until 29th October.

Im surprised Quimper got such an extension. I (wrongly) assumed Brittany holidays would have dried up by October. I went in August before and the weather wasn’t great...

I'm interested in the the Punta Cana route (LGW-PUJ). It looks like BA has moved a lot of their other Caribbean routes to Heathrow as well as Orlando so I'm just wondering what long-haul leisure routes this is going to leave at Gatwick? I guess Cancun, Kingston, Port of Spain?

As far as I am aware, the tentative ‘plan’ for W21,

ANU, UVF, BGI, KIN, MBJ, CUN, PUJ, SJO, MRU, TPA and ISB/DOH/ACC (These three are ‘in theory’)

with SKB, PLS, POS as add ons to the ANU

it’s a long way off and anything could change but that’s what’s planned.

Just a side note, currently BDA is the only route that has moved from LGW to be an LHR only route.

BGI and MCO will both operate from LHR but will remain seasonal at LGW, MCO summer/BGI winter.

UVF and ANU are to operate from LHR but until anything changes those two are in addition to LGW and will operate mid July to Mid September.

no problem, also to note that although it looks like a lot of destinations, majority aren’t daily.

I thought Quimper got canned last year, is this not a restart?

I may be wrong, I often am....

Although some destinations in pre covid times may be less popular later in the season, I guess BA are thinking if things start moving mid summer (hope beyond all hope) then people may still chance their arm later into September into October for a foreign get away

It didn’t run last summer due to Covid, but it wasn’t officially suspended.

Just as a random update, while passing through T5 on Saturday, I heard LHR are planning to reopen T3 from June (which is what I heard previously from some COVID testing companies) and BA will only move short haul to T3 for the summer season if that happens (the destinations that previously operated from T3)
