however this is a very good price for return to NY
Not strictly direct.
Hope that helps.
Kindest regards
Thanks
Not for everyone but worth knowing

Never heard of a BA flight from London to New York that stops to refuel. Where did you get that idea from?
DXB is Dubai...
London to Dubai to New York is 10k miles, London to New York is 3K miles.
So you're suggesting getting to New York by flying east from the UK? And this is on the basis that it would be more fuel efficient?
Wow.
Think you mean Nej Nej Nej
No airliner , No Titanic , No New York
Greta's yacht crew say either we fly or you will need to wait another couple of months.
Seems a good price. (edited)
I'm pretty confident this doesn't stop for refuelling, the only TA flights that do that from London as far as i'm aware are the tiny all business affairs from City. You wouldn't manage 7h with a refuel, either, per the image.
You mean freezing 🥶
Was just concerned with the distance that's all. I've always thought DXB would be the natural half way point for a refuel stop.
Kindest regards
Might want to check an atlas - Ireland is between them......and BA's most prestigious flight (BA1 from LCY to JFK) stops in Shannon - to refuel.
But I'm assuming it wouldn't fly westwards at all if going via DXB. So this would exploit the easterly tailwinds and improve fuel efficiency... The mileage would also decrease a bit due to the earth's curvature.
Kindest regards
So it runs out of fuel within 30 min of being airborne??
Kindest regards
It wasn't a suggestion as such, just a thought based on my knowledge of meteorology and physics. You'd be surprised of the combined effects of strong tailwinds and increased altitude to improve fuel efficiency...
Kindest regards
Go up high enough, wait for the world to go round...... & come back down.
Ingenious 🏾
Nah. I think it's bin done before. They stopped off on the moon rather than Dubai though.
Yes and no. The runway at LCY is too short to take off with sufficient weight of fuel for the full journey, so it stops at Shannon to top up. I suggest you check Flightradar if you think I'm incorrect.
"Kindest regards".
I'm not saying it doesn't stop - I'm sure it does. But it does so to take on more passengers rather than to refuel. The runway at LCY is 2.4 m long which could in theory even cater for a fully laden a380.
Hope this helps clear your confusion.
Kindest regards
I'm afraid you're just plain (plane?) wrong. BA1 does not take on passengers at Shannon. It takes on fuel and the passengers go through US Customs preclearance so they can disembark and head straight for the door at JFK.
If you're still confused, I suggest you check the BA website, where this is written in black and white.
And no, an A380 can't use LCY (the very thought is laughable to anyone with a basic aviation knowledge), where the runway is 1500m - nowhere near long enough.
Kindest regards.
There is a lot of scientific evidence that confirms that an aircraft weighing 792 tonnes (ie A380) is very capable of taking off using 1 mile of runway (more or less LCY rwy), providing flaps are set to full and maximum yolk pitch up attitude is deployed at V1 (with trim) just enough to avoid a tail strike...
Hope that helps.
