So the initial LHR W21slot report shows many exLGW short haul destinations remaining at LHR for the whole winter.

I know it’s not concrete yet, but it’s further evidence that any SH return will probably be S22 (as we’ve all said before).

Unless there is an uptick in demand ie more green zones being added i would think there would be little chance of this sorry

We fly out to ANU on 26 June from North and have just had email to say our return on 4 July is now coming into N terminal also. Doesn't matter at all to us, just hope we can into the Aspire Lounge pre flight for some coffee,

Our November flights were moved S -> N almost as soon as they were booked, but no email received. At one point expected them to move back, but have given up on that and will be pleased just to fly.

IF this route goes ahead it will remain 1x daily I would expect as it’s mainly aimed at feeding US/Caribbean longhauls being a W rotation with an LHR based aircraft and crew.

currently our Antigua flight in August is showing as South, as are all from beginning of August . Mind, I expect it to change.

out if interest, did you get a “clinic” PCR test delivered by a healthcare professional for entry to Antigua? How busy was the airport etc?

We had our PCR done by Collinson at East Mids for the way out. The cert was signed by a medic, not a clue about the person doing the test. ANU airport not busy at all, but we were first off the plane. Quick look at our tests and that was it. From wheels down to arriving in the resort was under an hour. Out of the airport in way under 30 mins with checked baggage.
