4) LHR - LAX goes back to just 2 daily flights until December at least

6) LHR - BKK suspended (officially)

Just had the notification and my 1st November SIN outbound is now NCS, we come back First and have no idea if the 77W is and improvement or not over the 789. Time will tell.

Just been informed slight change in time for our November flight CPT-LHR BA42 - moved from 21.55 dept to 21.05 - no big deal for us. However I checked the seat map and it's now an A350 instead of 77L which I think is a moderate upgrade, although both have CS.

The significant uplift in seats is in J, from 48J on a 789 to 76 on a refurbished 77W CS, which is even more than pre-covid to Sydney when the unrefurbed 77Ws had 56J.
