British Airways kicks 20 passengers off flight because heat wave made plane too heavy

On 31/07/2018 17:00, Byker wrote: I'm surprised transatlantic service operates out of LCY (A318) The New York flights make a fuel stop at Shannon Airport due to weight restrictions on departure. The stop is also used for US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance, meaning that passengers arriving in New York do not need to go through immigration there. "The A318 has a passenger capacity of 107 in a two-class configuration, however, British Airways operates the aircraft with just 32 seats across the Atlantic." https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...airbus-318-100 That's why I was surprised. With 32 pax, they'd have to charge an arm and a leg to make it profitable: https://thepointsguy.com/2018/03/ba-...om-lcy-to-jfk/ At least you'd get lots of leg room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSWLgk_3JZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPOP4Q_NEaM
