Don’t know anyone who would be mad enough to travel to the US these days anyway. Unless it was unavoidable.
Because Norse flies it cheaper.
If you want BA, you to go Heathrow, not Gatwick.
If it were popular it wouldn’t have been cancelled, right?
Not surprising given the current situation. I expect others will follow suit. No one is flying there by choice any more.
Lol. There’s going to be a lot of cope about this, but ultimately, theres fewer people who want to go to the US.
> Losing Gatwick means those south of the capital having to make their way to west London with Heathrow Express walk-up fares of £25 one-way.
For a family of four, just shifting airports could add £100 extra in transport costs before they’ve even boarded the plane
Look, this is a pain in the ass as somebody who travels to the US for business and pleasure often, but nobody, and I mean nobody, needs to use Heathrow Express 🤣
A badly written article.
Travellers will have to “trudge” to Heathrow. No, they travel to Heathrow or Gatwick, now it’s just Gatwick.
“a huge knock-on effect for holidaymakers in south London, Sussex and Kent”
Gatwick is used by people from Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Surrey, bucks, Hampshire, and the whole is the south of England.
🎵Darling hold my hand…
Nothing beats you like a BA holiday, and right now you will spend £ 25 more per person. That’s £ 100 for a family of 4.
>huge knock-on effect for holidaymakers in south London, Sussex and Kent
Can’t speak for Sussex or South London, but for those of us in Kent, there’s no difference in commute time because for some stupid reason, we don’t have trains that go West; you have to go North to London then go Southwest…
You simply catch the Elizabeth line at Stratford for Heathrow instead of the Thameslink at St Pancras for Gatwick. Both journies take the same time and use the same fast train route into London.
