british airways are 100 times more classy and better then lufthansa , ba are a world class airline, thank god willie walsh didnt distroy them the vile evil bullying shit he is

[BNSFFREAK747]

Phoenix seems like an odd destination for British Airways. Is there really that much of a demand?

@BNSFFREAK747

Considering the fact that BA has been serving PHX since 1996 and knocked both LTU and Lufthansa out of the PHX market, I would say that there is that much demand.

I read an article on the BA service back in 1999 and the story reported that, at that time, BA was reporting load factors around 90% between PHX and, at that time again, LGW.

[BNSFFREAK747]

@mrblujet How are their loads now?

[mrblujet]

@BNSFFREAK747  High enough to justify flying a 747-400 into PHX : )

[troll2282]

@mrblujet Lufthansa is supposibly to be flying back to PHX with there A330

[mrblujet]

@troll2282  Lufthansa has been saying that for years.

@BNSFFREAK747

Everytime I take this flight the plane is full (LHT-->PHX or PHX-LHT)

[BNSFFREAK747]

@wexane I see. Thanks!

arizona is an interesting destiantion for european travlers. it just seems odd that BA uses their 747's on the route instead of their 777s

[mrblujet]

BA did actually fly the 777 into PHX from LGW at one time. However, it is my understanding that the bookings were exceeding the capacity of the 777. I believe the transition back to the 747 took place around 2002 or 2003, but I could have my years wrong.

[familyguy958]

@mrblujet makes sense

[bignitro50]

how often does the BA 747 come to PHX?

[mrblujet]

I believe that as the schedule stands right now, the BA 747 flies into PHX everyday with the exception of Wednesday.
