LHR & LGW to FAO
Hoping to go to Portugal in late September, assuming there’s an air bridge established. When I look on the BA booking site its showing return flights from LGW but only inbound for LHR, ie. FAO to LHR.
So what’s going on there? Is this in preparation of shutting down from LGW and they’re reserving FAO to LHR slots as a minimum?
Whats the likelihood of flights from LGW in late September? Are they still pulling LGW operations?

There are currently many flights on sale between Gatwick and Faro (both ways) in late September. How many will operate, and whether some might switch to Gatwick, is another question!

My question was more about the fact I can fly from FAO to LHR but not vice versa. Is that normal?

Apologies yes, I meant Heathrow.
In ‘normal’ times, the Heathrow operations to a Faro only operate on limited days. So unless some Gatwick flights are switched, you might not find them every day. But I can flights from LHR on 27 and 28 Sep. And I am travelling on the 1 October flight ...

Now until Sep 6th - mix of LHR/LCY - FAO (up to 5 flights a day)
Last LCY-FAO-LCY on 06 Sep
First LGW-FAO-LGW on 09 Sep (3 rotations in fact, none from LHR that day)
Then a mix of LGW/LHR & vv daily from that date (0-2 LHR departures, 2-4 LGW departures) right through until October.
