Does anyone know when all the winter 22/23 flights to/from Gatwick might get loaded into the the schedules? Currently my regular Gatwick-Malaga option runs until 30th of October only.
I appreciate its a fair way in advance but any insights would be very welcome.

I have a booking to DBV in September which looks like a G-GATx seatmap (exit rows 12 and 13), can't see the front of the cabin to be absolutely sure as we're booked in the cheap seats! I did have a quick look online to see if it matched any of the Iberia Express A320 seat maps, given that it sounds like they may be operating a proportion of the EuroFlyer services on a wet lease arrangement, but it doesn't seem to. That being said, I'm sure there's plenty of scope for an equipment change between now and then.

My PMI booking in CE in October is showing as a 3 row 'normal' A320 seat plan - i.e. not the G-GAT plan. It's also showing as operated by "British Airways".

I believe flights will show as British Airways until AOC is fully granted. The airline will not only use G-GATx aircraft as there are only 10 of them and the BAEuroflyer fleet will be at least 18 this summer.
I am assuming G-GATx aircraft will be used, although some of them have been operating from Heathrow these past two years.
It may also depend on demand. Some routes may warrant the A321 but we will have to wait and see.
I am impatient to hear more about their winter schedules from Gatwick. So far 9 routes have been announced from October. Lots of gaps so hopefully more to come.

Flights operated by IB Express are now starting to show in the timetable.
I've also seen elsewhere that EuroFlyer were apparently granted their AOC last week.

The I2 wetlease aircraft will have normal BA meals and bars loaded, and are also A320s with the same blocked middle seats in CE. So apart from the crew (and possibly also non-reclining seats?), there should be little difference for anyone sitting near the front.
LGW-MAD is the only ‘true’ Iberia Express route, with their service rather than BA’s.

As mentioned above, the only difference is between flights that are operated by and for I2 and those operated by I2 for BA. I suspect the former will actually have a separate check-in area, given they will depart in Resiber, not FLY, but the latter will be fully handled by BA.
You can tell the difference by the prime (operational) flight number.

My flight to SVQ in May is saying in MMB: Operated by Iberia Express.
This hasn’t been communicated by BA. Is this essentially like a GB Airways of old situation? Or will this be staffed by BA crew? Sorry all a bit confusing! Having had the ‘pleasure’ of Iberia Express before, I can’t say I’m too excited!
