Lufthansa in London Gatwick (LGW)
 
Flying from LGW with TAP.

Thanks

To answer own Q; (sorry!)
From asking around it seems TAP may grant Servisair access as a *G passenger. But there is no actual *G lounge

I mean, why not? Gatwick is highly accessible from London and most important, it is not Heathrow ;)

It might have also to do with the fact that Air Berlin and BA ties get closer with Air Berlin joining OneWorld.
Air Berlin serves Gatwick as far as I know and not Heathrow...

While we are discussing a new DE-UK route, can anybody explain why the following thread is in the BD forum? :confused:

Thanks for linking to that, quite excited about ABZ. It was impossible for me to get there from OTP on *A without 2 connections.

LH recommended before that I use LPJ when I complained about the double connection. ;)

It will be E190 instead and you'll receive fewer HON miles. :p

Great news on LGW! I much prefer LGW to LHR- especially for anyone going south in the UK or into the city it is an excellent choice.

jaseuk Jul 6, 2011 6:41 am

Can anyone remember if LH have served LGW before? And if so when?

8420PR Jul 6, 2011 6:48 am

I hope it is successful! I am very surprised - did not expect this at all.

I don't think they have ever served LGW before (definately not in the last 10 years), but they did experiment with Stanstead - it didn't last long.

During the 1990s I believe LH used to operate between LGW, FRA and TXL. But the routes were dropped. They only lasted a short while.

supermasterphil Jul 6, 2011 7:58 am

Is that what they use the new runway for in FRA? More connections to the UK ?
