The flight number was LH 1988. It flew Saturday and Sunday on a 737. Unclear whether 732 or 733.
FRA - MIR: 13:50 - 16:25
MIR - FRA: 17:15 - 19:40
Hope this helps
Another reason is that their LGW 777s are much more dense with a smaller Club cabin and 10-abreast Y-cabin. Probably more appropriate for a largely VFR traffic to/ from ISB.
Jump to postThey've been flying a wide-body jet once a week every Thursday throughout the lockdown. In April and May mostly 77W, then a mixture of 77W, 772, 788, 789. July has been mostly 788. Since Aug 1st they have restarted regular flights 2-3 times daily but have retained the Thursday wide-body jet. Perhaps...

It has always baffled me why SAS does not fly to BKK, the hub of its Star Alliance co-founder TG; More, than just alliance partners, SAS was in fact one of the founders of TG in the 1960s, and a main shareholder for a long time.

Jump to postThere is a further issue (assuming that an earlier departure slot from LHR could be found). The crew which flies to KUL can fly back the day after they arrive as they have adequate rest.

Personally I like W6 and are my go-to LCC. And I also like OS and always think of them as a quality airline. But while OS's flights to LCA, TLV, VAR etc. do perhaps serve the O&D market, a large part of their business model is transferring passengers through their VIE hub. W6 is not able or inte...
Jump to postET's first challenge at LHR is to secure slots to allow them to operate daily ADD-LHR overnight year round. At the moment days 1,2 in summer and day 1 in winter are morning departures from ADD which can't be helping connections.
Jump to postUnlikely. AA already flies twice daily to LHR. And with the JV agreement, there would be no benefit to BA doing this.
