Multiple BA departures from MCO at the same time?

Wolf1984 · 27 Nov 20, 11:20 PM

I can see for Oct 25 2021 BA are listing two flights out of MCO to LON at 19:55.

One is BA0204 and has a 3-3-3 economy config. The other is the more familiar BA2038 3-4-3

Both are listed as 777 jets.

Does anyone know any more about this? The BA0204 is much cheaper but I'm not aware of seeing this flight in the past. Is it just all a mess right now?

It might be one going to Gatwick and one going to Heathrow. If you check it should say.

Yeah sorry I missed that part. One is indeed going to LHR and the Other to LGW.

Is that normal then? I was never aware of an MCO to LHR BA flight...

Found this article. Seems to be a new thing this year. Probably anyone's guess if it will still be the case in Oct 21.

It purely depends on availability with regard to the prices. If you check the outbound London to Orlando flights you will notice that a LHR and LGW flight both leave at the same time too.

There are quite a few threads on DIBB by members who have managed to get some good fares from Heathrow especially for the school holidays. It also means that anyone travelling from, say, Manchester, Newcastle or Scotland have much better connections.
