BA LCY-JFK A318 rumoured interior

For those that potentially may take this service when it starts up later this year, I came across a rumoured interior shot of the layout and seats here.

Well it certainly looks nice and roomy! I wouldn't say no flying from LCY!

When are they starting this service up or is it on hold for the time being?

I think November is planned and they are currently still going ahead. I did read a subsequent story that said this is still a mock up plan and not confirmed, but agree it looks nice.

Personally, with an office in Canary Wharf it is an option I would consider, though I still prefer the all seats with aisle access layout ...

Indeed - looking forward to an invite for the premier flight and as there will be internet and SMS access maybe the first live/interactive TR @ 39,000 feet !!

Hmmm well I will be interested to see how it goes for them, I will be happy to try it out.

Thanks for the info guys.

Same thing has been going through my mind, although City's recent expansion has rather moved it up the rungs from a tiny regional style airport to something a bit more substantial. Ten years ago when I commuted to EDI once or twice a week, I was on first name terms with the bar staff airside, something I don't think you could achieve now post airside expansion. However I always get the impression that LCY has always bust a gut to get the security queues down to an acceptable wait, unlike BAA where mediocrity and a captive audience mentality rules the day on that score.

Anyone else feel that the prospect of flying the Atlantic on an A318 is a daunting experience ??

Its a bit small isnt it ??

Personally I wouldnt fly the Atlantic on a 757 either & consequently would never fly CO DUB-EWR for instance. Much & all as I would like to try their Business First product. I would feel rather uneasy on a single aisle aircraft for such a journey. It just doesnt feel right to me.

Maybe Im just weird [:(]
