Albeit a bit late, it’s great to have an option after 18.10!

I am confused they are so near one another and there was also even one more around 5-6pm from HEL if I recall?

Not complaining, this is good, given their is widebody moving

So, here's to all who believed Brexit would mean closed borders between the UK and the EU

AY1333 is a strange loner. It has been operating since at least the 90s. Once a week only. Took this flight once as I returned from the US, and it fit my schedule perfectly. I actually returned on a Sunday because of this flight, to avoid a layover of several hours.

Very happy with this new alternative, great for the salad excursions to LHR on Saturdays. More time for squid and gin at the QF-lounge after the first meal at the CX F-lounge.

Yes, definitely one more service after the 18.10 is needed for relaxed squid dining!

It's fixed in they system now and the return at 21:25 is gone: 3 daily both directions from April 1st.

HEL-BCN
07:05-10:05
17:05-20:05 (IB for AY)
22:30-01:30+1

BCN-HEL
02:15-07:05
11:00-15:50 (IB for AY, 5 min earlier on certain days)
11:05-16:00 (5 min later on certain days)

02:15-07:05
11:00-15:50
11:05-16:00
21:25-02:15+1

Something is off, since it’s 3 per day outbound and 4 per day inbound and there is slight variation on the 11ish departures from BCN depending on the day. Also one of the flights is “op by Iberia for Finnair” like MAD.

Very surprised that BA is still has only 1 flight per day after removing the 2nd flight 1,5 years back.

Well... You haven't seen any brexit just yet.

If this new frequency is proof of anything it is more about EYs finances.

Yeah. Too easy weekends now.
Doing the math, I should probably buy the season card for Premier league as it is almost free travel now to soccer fixtures in London if calculating the lounge visits

I wonder that too. What to do at LGW when you have 7-9 daily to LHR.
Maybe LGW would be good to get passengers living south of London.
