The Daily Telegraph recently had a story with two reporters racing to Times Square, one one the LCY-SNN-JFK flight, and the other on the traditional LHR-JFK flight. It ended in a draw as the LCY flight was delayed but most likely would have beaten the LHR flight had it not been. Honestly, I would try the A318 at least once. As much as I like T5, LCY is a pretty cool place too. Anyway doing this and being able to expense it is a great way to kill a day.

I just wish that they hadn't used BA 001/002 for the flights. Those numbers should have been retired.
