Not getting any joy on my corporate booking system, but it's well known for playing silly b*ggers with me...
If not, I think via JFK is the way to go.
thx

Yup, BA flies there on a lovely big 747 every day.
Best app for flight searching is ita OnTheFly, much better than any other system IMO.

Ah... it's because they don't fly there on Saturday/Sunday (according to their own schedule). Very business friendly, I don't bloody well think...

Ahh I see, if you go through BA's booking engine it shows daily flights, but BA only flies direct on Mon / Weds / Fri - the others route you through Madrid and it isn't immediately obvious until you get to the detail.

probably 15th Jan... maybe the frequency increases later on, but BA's schedule says Monday/Wednesday/Friday only for the BA0242/0243...

That's that sorted out then (or rather, not...). Thanks for looking though. Via JFK using VS and Aeromexico then...

Perhaps via MIA or an airport in Texas like DFW would be quicker than JFK?

Probably true, but I may well stop off at my NY office either going or coming back...
Besides, I hear nothing but horror stories of the immigration queues at MIA!
