    Wondering if BA have dropped a daily flight from Miami ? – there used to be 2 a day 5pm ‘ish’ and one a few hours later back to LHR daily – on a BA plane (not AA code share) Looking at August and Sept returns 2023 there is only 1 flight a day at 5pm local time from Miami – any clues here appreciated – and sorry if I missed a news advisory update on this topic !

    Yes, I’ve often been on a later flight but only in Winter. If the 5pm is A380 operated, that may be deemed enough capacity. BA is short of long haul planes generally.

    5pm ish is far too early for me from East coast USA.

    I would have thought demand would be there, especially given that I don’t think there are any direct services from the regions to MIA. Fewer award seats would not be a good thing either!

    They have dropped to one per day from two. The 5pm A380 still operates. My flight (the later one) for June was cancelled. AA have 2 flights per day to LHR. So I suppose they have 3 flights per day in the JV.

    Thanks everyone….must be some kind of issue again – lack of long haul planes/wanting to fly all planes full for revenue reasons (I heard this from a friend at BA) – as the flights were generally very full from Miami all year round – in terms of avios availability in Business and beyond all year its been very patchy and sparse IMO compared to previous years – plus First the 777 is less seats So overall these issues are compounding inter related issues Thanks again for your expert feedback
