    Flew back from San Francisco with BA as part of the get folk back to the uk after Thomas cook collapsing and they were brilliant. Different level of experience compared to the flight out with Thomas Cook, our two year old managed to be sick about 6 hours into the flight and they couldn’t have done more including giving me a pair of pyjamas out of first class if I needed to change my top!!

    There was a time it was a joy to fly with BA , as the staff were attentive and welcoming even for the economy passengers but past few years it has all changed with staff treating you as if they are doing you a favour .
    however this is a very good price for return to NY

    I believe this stops for refuelling.

    Not strictly direct.

    Hope that helps.

    Kindest regards

    Thanks

    just searched on Skyscanner....17-24 March next year, £256 with Virgin Atlantic (via Flysharp). Hand luggage only.

    If you book with BA, you can get them to price match, and they give you a voucher to use with then in the future.

    Not for everyone but worth knowing

    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.

    return trip looks good - outward bound is somewhat cheap as its quite late. Also with BA striking all the time and their planes (most of them) still looking like an advert from 1980s - great price - terrible airline. (voted hot as most arent as picky as me doing that trip at least once a month)

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
