Is this BA flight leaving from LHR or LGW?
Update: BA have told us that BA2752 is cancelled, a few other flights are also cancelled but BA are letting you rebook on any other flight that day for free.
I received my travel confirmation from BA stating that I'll be flying from LHR on 30th Jan 2022 at 11.10 on flight BA2752.
After discussing with a friend we realised that we were both flying from LHR to GVA at the same time but on different flights. So I checked Heathrow departures for that date and it does say both fly from LHR T5 at the same time, both to GVA.
It seemed weird that 2 planes would fly the same route at the same so I checked online and most places seem to think that BA2752 flies from LGW. For example flightmapper.net
I'm trusting that BA and Heathrow are correct and that as a one off they're changing the route.
So why would they change the route and why not have it at a slightly different time?

Your flight is from Heathrow.
British Airways currently has no non-stop flights from Gatwick to Geneva and that's true for all of December and January.
On Jan 30, they offer two non-stops from London City and a whopping 15 from Heathrow. Within 10 minutes of your departure time, there are 3 options:
- 11:10 BA2752 (Airbus A320 jet)
- 11:10 BA0740 (Airbus A320 jet)
- 11:20 BA2746 (Airbus A320 jet)
So there ARE two different flights leaving at the same time. Could be an internal "code share" that they can use to flex capacity or could be real. Make sure you go to the correct gate!

Because it couldn't reach an agreement with British Airways' pilots union. As a spokesperson for British Airways describes the decision: \u201cAfter many years of losing money on European flights from the airport, we were clear that coming out of the pandemic, we needed a plan to make Gatwick profitable and competitive.LONDON TO NEW YORK | BRITISH AIRWAYS 777 | ECONOMY EXPERIENCE | SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS |
