Strange one off flight from St Lucia (UVF) in Dec

I am looking at a trip to St. Lucia this December

There is a one off flight on the 27th of December (BA2150) from UVF to LGW that is not repeated on any other day that week, nor can I find anything about a corresponding LGW-UVF flight that day or the day prior.

I was going to book it - the CW price on this one off flight is 1/3 the CW price of the flight 2 hours prior (the daily flight)

Just wanted to check if anyone here knew anything about this before I pay for it and discover that it's a BA IT problem or a non-BA plane and crew

Thanks

I have no idea the background to why this is running but seems to be a BA operated flight (by a 4-class 777). I would book it. If it is cancelled you will be able to be rebooked onto the other flight free of charge.

Might be an extra flight to meet demand. ANU has some extra flights planned on the 19th and 26th as well.

On the timetable I can see BA2151 as the inbound on the 27th. I wonder if it is partly because there isn’t a flight on Christmas Day.

I’ve benefited from this the following Sunday, 3rd Jan. They added a few extra flights a few weeks ago. Managed to snag two reward seats in club with my companion voucher. We’re still the only people with assigned seats in club on the way out, but I note it’s looking pretty full in all premium cabins for the way back that night, presumably getting all the Christmas/new year punters home. So i’m fairly hopeful we won’t be cancelled.

27 December 2020 has:

BA2159 LGW-UVF 1000-1500
BA2151 LGW-UVF 1300-1800

BA2158 UVF-LGW 2045-0905+1
BA2150 UVF-LGW 2230-1050+1

The same happens the following Sunday.

Thanks.

I couldn't find that outbound flight earlier, that's why I was concerned.

Booked, at what seems like a good price for CW
