 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looks like BA is cancelling the London City-Geneva route from the end of April. Shame, as this was a good option for long weekend trips if you live/work in London. Swiss will continue that route, but I guess that their prices will rise if there is no other carrier operating that route

Permanent or seasonal cancellation?

I think it is permanent, as they seem to have introduced a LCY-Milan (Malpensa), which I guess will use the aircraft they were using for GVA.
Freestyle, I've been trying to get prices for the LCY-GVA route, but couldn't get any via BA.com. Then I read on another forum that the route was being withdrawn (and that anyone with tickets already in the system was being transferred to LHR or LGW departures.

Ray Zorro, that's weird. That route has now become available for next winter on BA's website; I've been trying to get prices in the last few weeks for next season's flights and no prices were being offered. Maybe it is a seasonal closure after all. That's not as bad as I feared, although a quick check of prices for next January shows a LCY-GVA return at just under £300

rob@rar.org.uk, that's expensive as you say. I notice that LHR =GVA for a w/e in Jan is coming out at about £117, so it would be worth that taxi fare.

This was posted on BA.com (including typos!). It doesn't mention anything about a seasonal route closure

Due to the forcoming withdrawl of the BA connect service between London City airport and Geneva, BA Connet have issues a policy for passengers booked in flights after 28 April 2006. Customers booked on these cancelled services will be automatically re-booked on services between London Gatwick and Geneva on the same departure date.

?Re-book onto an alternative British Airways service from London Gatwick or Heathrow to Geneva for a new travel date within two weeks of the original flight. Re-booking must take place before the original date of travel.
?For re-booking made on or before Sunday 9 April: The customer must be re-booked into the same fare class and cabin as the original ticket, or where this is not available the lowest available class in the same cabin. The ticket validity may be extended if it has expired for a maximum of 3 months from the date of the original flight.
?For re-booking on or after Monday 10 April: The customer must be re-booked into the same fare class and cabin as the original ticket. The ticket validity may be extended if it has expired for a maximum of 3 months from the date of the original flight. |

Freestyle, Yeah, I'm not happy about it either With the Docklands LR now connecting to LCY it was a very quick and easy way to get to Geneva from central London. If it is a permanent route closure it will give Swiss carte blanche to charge what they like...

I suppose it's revenge on Geneva for Sleezyjet cancelling the Zurich to Gatwich route

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

A right pain. I'm due to commute over the summer and LCY was a good and cheap option.
