    Evening all, does anyone know if BA’s long haul schedule for Q4 2023 is now set in stone? Hoping the LAS flights have finally moved back to T3.

    They like to adjust things, no flights are really set in stone.

    I believe LAS is planned for T3 this winter. It was supposed to move back in June but was a late change to T5. I would guess for operational reasons to avoid needing to swap A350s from T5-T3 and vv. So it wouldn’t particularly surprise me to see the A350 routes remain at T5 going forward

    The flights I would almost be certain will stay at T3 are the ones that usually go on the 3X 14F + old CW birds – Bermuda, Nassau/GCM and Bahrain IIRC

    Interesting perspective. So you think the LAS flights could lose the A350 if it does revert back to T3?

    As much as I want the T3 lounges I’d hate to go back to the old-old CW!

    Our GCM flight earlier this month was CS, however I have booked for next June also and that is showing old CW ☹️.

    No, far more likely the route will move back to T5, it has been very consistently a A350 route !

    Two of the three were in maintenance for a good while but at least one of them is back now so I suspect going forward it’ll be more consistently the old seat unless BA does decide to reconfigure them. They are ~25 yrs old though so I’m not sure they will!

    San Diego now shows as moving from T5 to T3 on October 3, and back to T5 from October 29. Still an A350.
