  Hideous timings requiring hotel room to be booked from previous day and for extra night unless you wish to be waiting from noon the day before.
  That said it is welcome that they are finally operating from a point other than London though not sure this will remove the London Airways tag
  BA more than ever becoming a leisure operator outside of fortress Heathrow.

  Perhaps this is an indication as to how tight things are?

  As for the grub:

  Our last BA flights were this summer- LHR to Agadir rtn in economy(morning out, afternoon in) = Brie and Jam croissant out & Falafel wrap in-can’t be any worse!

  BA did have a regional departure from EMA to TFS a couple of years ago. I think they were just filling space on a charter.

  Isn’t SIN-SYD technically a BA flight with a non-London origin or destination?

    SIN-SYD is the same flight number as the LHR-SIN section though. It’s technically the same flight, just with a stop along the way.

      Somewhat odd as you can book it separately, but point taken!

  I’d rather pay to fly on another airline than use miles & go at those times.

  Perhaps it’s a viability experiment. If it is viable then we may see more such flights where BA have aircraft parked overnight outside LHR.

  could be a sign of things to come, utilisation of equipment.

  I think you guys are overlooking something. This flight would be perfect for young people wanting a few days out in Ibiza to party. You could get out after work on a Thursday , on an airline that gives out free vodka!, drinking 6 on easy jet will set you back a fair bit!! and when you arrive there is still 5h partying left. Have a couple of days running round San Antonio paying 60euro to get in each club and snorting more coke than even colonel gaddafi ever could. Catch a couple of stds ,
  and you don’t even need a hotel room for the last night. You can check out at 12 , leave the bags at the hotel , hit the beach for a few hours, 6pm Go down bar street . And turn up at the airport at 2.45am smelling of vomit.
