Summer 2023 : Some BA Euroflyer LGW services to be operated by Avion Express
It is reported on www.jethroseu.co.uk that 3 x A320 are to be leased for the summer based at LGW. Believed to be related to more maintenance/MRO supply chain issues.

This should trigger the standard customer guidelines for leased aircraft.
They basically allow moving to the closest BA flight before or after.
However may need some prompting of call centre agents as awareness of these guidelines does not seem the highest.
Sometimes BA publishes specific guidelines for each round of this.

would be no curtain/divider, no console table on the B&F seat and possibly no antimacassar, as there is unlikely to be the velcro strip to hold it. But otherwise as per normal BA in terms of catering etc.

You may end up on a NEO from LHR, which also has no cabin divider or console tables.

By the way, I've noticed that Change/View Seats has disappeared within MMB Desktop for my Euroflyer flights whether on the new interface or the old one and the only way to view/change is within the app or is this buried somewhere else on the Desktop view? Also and for some reason, when the above change was made 10 mins ago, we were switched from AC to CD but in the same row so we were both in aisle seats. Very odd but since rectified within the app...

Not only the seat option but also assistance can no longer be viewed or changed. Instead, there is just a link to the page with all the various telephone numbers. Not very helpful! Oddly while I could see my seat allocation on the app, but not on the website, I was unable to change it. Gremlins?

I recall flying BA from Heathrow to Scotland a few years back on a leased aircraft and crew (I think it was a Scandinavia based carrier) and how the crews very successfully served a full hot breakfast and 2 rounds of tea and coffee with time to spare. The crews must have asked why BA offered everyone a hot breakfast on a 55 min flight! Well done to them, though.
