Of course 250% means nothing without knowing the previous number of bookings.

Ticket Sales From New York to London Jump 250% as Britain Opens its Doors to Fully Vaccinated Travelers
Virgin Atlantic says ticket sales have surged by more than 100 per cent and bookings on the flagship New York City – London route had increased by around 250 per cent in the hours after England said it would allow fully vaccinated American and European travellers to enter the country without needing to quarantine. Both Scotland and Wales also confirmed they would fall in line with the policy decision.

Same for me - I have a trip starting third week of august TPA-EWR-LHR(UA) then LHR-EDI on BA. I would prefer to do the self-administered Abbott Binax test. I did a quick search and found appropriate sensitivity and specificity levels but would love solid confirmation that it would be accepted.

EDI knocked me out for January, and no acceptable alternative offered. Wonder if they'll stick it back on the schedule. While I struggle to think that the 752s are desperately needed elsewhere I'm also skeptical of the yield on that route, where as MAN/SNN have some real industrial justfications.
