LHR-NUE - any chance of improvement in frequency?
Last year there seemed to be good availability on this route, since there are a lot of trade fairs in Nurnburg.
Whilst some flights still exist, it isn’t a daily route. Do Ba ever improve frequency for a route where I don’t need to fly until February 2024?

It's quite a niche route, I think mainly to serve the Christmas market market.
If it turns out there are lots of Nuremberg-based passengers who are making use of it to come to London and beyond then it could grow, but otherwise I wouldn't bank on it.

Which is why it's so frustrating they've moved the return from mid-day to evening meaning connections out of LHR for most destinations are impossible, at least when I'm flying the route in December.

Well if it’s serving the Christmas market market it’s not really connections they are after.

And one assumes that every summer, Nuremburg airport auction off their festive slots in what they call the Christmas market market market?

I've only been once, and admittedly from MAN on RYR in 2017 but there is a nice German style town square where you can drink beer and eat sausages before looking at Nazi points of historic interest the next day. Well worth a 3 day trip.

There’s a few international companies there, I work there every few weeks.
if it helps, flying in to Frankfurt and then getting the train directly from the airport is a good option. It’s slightly longer than from Munich at 2:20, however, unlike Munich there’s a station directly outside T1 so you don’t have to go in to the city first.

This is a good point, maybe I’ve been lucky but whenever I’ve done it I’ve walked straight on to a bus and dropped off opposite the station a few minutes later. But you’re right it is an inconvenience

I have done it maybe 20 times (we have an office 15 mins from the office) and it often has way more than 2 rows, in fact I can't remember it every having only 2.

move to lgw when more frames/crews are in and schedules can be expanded.
