Re: Senate Tax Bill Opens Pandora's Box To Hurt ME3 Carriers
The most obvious solution is to have some US airline fly to the ME. It's definitely not going to be AA or DL. UA maybe? Honestly, it depends how significant the taxes are. Maybe pax will get used to it, like at LHR, but UK surcharges aren't designed to punish competitors while this is. If DL really ...

But as noted above, people are paying a premium to fly without the tech stop or any stop. They aren't being forced to endure. They are paying more to get there faster.

Is it/would it be possible for BA to deploy the 380 to LGW or are they only based out of LHR? If they do it, it is LHR no question. But if I was BA, I would just cut LGW altogether and merge the two into one; O/D to/from London doesn't care if its LGW or LHR, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

If they add LHR, it will be the only one with three. I think the only reason MCO is not officially a hub is that its ...
