In terms of a Gatwick flight again, oh absolutely. Just had this conversation today funnily enough. I wonder if the economics would stack up for BA to reinstate semi regular flights? Meantime we're contemplating driving Aberdeen to Edinburgh to fly to Gatwick and connect to a long haul flight; bags checked right through, avoid schlepping round the M25 from Heathrow...

The schedules for some routes do not make sense. Take Zagreb, on the days they operate 2 flight, they are only 20min apart. They are clearly slot sitters. They could have been used new destinations or other routes. It also puzzles me that BA only flies to MLA 5 times a week and from LGW where LH operates 3 daily flights to FRA.

A more useful time would have been helpful! 20 minutes is odd and I bet many people will get lost going to wrong gate and delaying boarding. I was hoping for an afternoon/evening option. Would have made it more useful. Though at least Fri-Sun so good for weekends. And more avios seats for weekend trips.... Also a T5-T3 move...
