MAN-JFK ceases 26th October
Oh well...
Commensurate with the decision to start LGW-JFK in October, the long standing Manchester to New York JFK service will be sacrificed to create a slot at JFK and free up the 767 for LHR which in turn frees up a 777 for LGW.
Apologies for the split threads as I found out each piece of news from different places. Feel free to merge if you like mods.

Its a great shame indeed. Now I have to waste several more hours when I want to go to New York rather than my 30 min drive to MAN.
I know there are other direct services available from MAN but none as good as CW on BA.

Timetables not yet updated - you still get LGW-MAN-JFK if you try any date after October
Ah - now it's working (must have taken time to roll out to early 2009)

Well this is a real shame. Took this flight last April and it was great - our first CW experience - so very enjoyable and memorable; and service was excellent - better than our return from Toronto.
Flight was busy in CW and appeared to be pretty full down back; and from what a colleague told me when he travelled it last October in Y, it was busy then too.
BIG shame.

I wonder if they get all the hard done by crap on the AF forum?
" I live in xyz 2 hrs away from CDG" and AF don't fly to NYC
" I live in XTZ 2.5 hrs away from CDG" and AF don't fly to IAD
AF is now Paris airlines......
