Talk:List of British Airways destinations

message: If we have to have a separate British Airways destinations article (about which I am not convinced - it does not seem sensible to leave the original British Airways page to view this - the destinations were originally listed alphabetically on the BA page, which I think is much better) then at least it should state the date when these destinations are actually being served and where the information is taken from eg Summer 2005, BA timetable. Ardfern 3 July 2005 22:19 (UTC)
*This list of destinations is not date referenced. Are these destinations being served in 2005 or what? We need to know how current the list is or it is of no value. Is there anyone out there? Ardfern 20:10, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Some of these flags add colour to what is otherwise a dull list. However, the inclusion of state (and city!) flags is making it too unwieldy. Can we restrict it to national flags only? The alternative would be to remove the flags altogether as I am not convinced they are essential for understanding the information presented. --John 20:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

message: As British Airways will begin scheduled service from LCY - JFK/EWR with a fuel stop at Shannon on west-bound flights I have added Shannon to destinations page but styled as Shannon - Shannon Airport fuel stop. Any other thoughts, changed you wish to make, etc. Please reply. Thanks. Zaps93 (talk) 18:06, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a destinations page, a "fuel / technical stop", scheduled or unscheduled, is not a destination as passengers cannot leave or join the service at this airport. For that reason I have removed Shannon from the page as it is misleading / unnecessary. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 18:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Recently there have been changed regarding the name of Ukraine capital, Kiev. The change is 'supposingly' the correct spelling for Kyiv, but I visted earlier this year and it was still spelt Kiev of boarding pass, so my question is why Kyiv if it is recognised and spelt as Kiev? Zaps93 (talk) 21:24, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Kiev is the correct spelling in English, but others (mainly non-english speakers) disagree Talk:Kiev/naming. MilborneOne (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Whatever you may think of the situation, British Airways still spells the city name as "Kiev". Do you have a reference for this having been adopted as the "official" name by the UK? DJ Clayworth (talk) 21:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha, two can play at that game  shows that BA list it as Kiev, and as this is a BA destination page, so Kiev it is. Zaps93 (talk) 22:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, due to the fact Andriy155 is very confident of Kyiv as name instead of correct Kiev, a vote is best chance to chose. Vote for which ever one you believe it should be. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 22:36, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I dont think we need a vote - while the wikipedia article is at Kiev this article should be the same. MilborneOne (talk) 22:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So the name Kiev stays? Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 22:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  What is EW? --Andriy155 (talk) 22:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: EW is Edit War. Zaps93 (talk) 22:45, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, to avoid that, may I suggest Kyiv (formerly Kiev)? Please note, however, that Kyiv is the official spelling in UK, USA and Canada. --Andriy155 (talk) 22:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The name is Kiev as per the article - If you need to discuss the name then I suggest that Talk:Kiev/naming is the correct place, when a decision to change is made at that discussion then other articles should follow. This is not the correct place to debate. So not an edit war just the wrong place. MilborneOne (talk) 22:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

text: If Kiev were the English name for the Ukrainian capital, why does the UK government use Kyiv?--Andriy155 (talk) 15:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Be that as it may, amongst other things, one of the concepts Wikipedia works on is popularity/commonality. The British goverment can call it whatever it wants to be politically correct. In any event, governments are hardly standard-bearers in these matters - what a majority of English-speaking people use, is what matters. Also, as was also pointed out, it's not as if the English language has expunged the word 'Kiev' from its vocabulary. Oh, and why not call it 'Kyyiv'? Why just 'Kyiv'?

thread_title:  Kyiv or Kiev? 

message: Hi everyone, I am just wondering why there are no states in the U.S.A. listed. They serve a large majority of cities all in a large variety of states and therefor I believe that states should be added to show their large network coverage in the U.S.A., like a major US airline. Your comments welcome. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 09:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont think that US states are that important (to anybody outside of the US) I dont see any reason to list them for a non-US airline. Readers can follow the city links if they really want to know where destinations are. MilborneOne (talk) 11:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Terminated destinations on the old list were without airports name so I made an effort to search for the airports. There is a possibility that some of them are wrong if so, contributions supported by references Will be appreciated. --Meshoo.d (talk) 22:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent work. I'm currently tidying up some details.--Jetstreamer (talk) 22:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why are the terminated destinations included in the table? The way Air Canada destinations or KLM destinations keeps them separate, looks clearer. Thankyoubaby (talk) 22:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Technically, two different articles appear within a single one in those two cases, which makes difficult to perform certain searches, such as the countries served for either served or terminated destinations. In that combined version you should check the list and the table simultaneously. It is actually easier to do this kind of things in the current layout of the article. Apart from that, why not mentioning Pakistan International Airlines destinations or El Al destinations? They combine current and terminated destinations in a single table format. Please also note that this format is also preferred for Dragonair destinations, which is a featured list.--Jetstreamer (talk) 23:30, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  The list is unreadable, as is the BMI one; this one and BMI are the only two on Wikipedia posted in this retarted manner of current and terminated destinations.  I don't give a toss to know a terminated destination ; if it's so bloody important put it on a secondary list like EVERY OTHER airline destination article... Seems someone has a fetish to keep it this way. 75.4.239.200 (talk) 04:37, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just take a longer survey, many other airlines have their destination articles in the same format (see above). Apart from that, your judgment relies upon visual and aesthetics of the article, not over contents.--Jetstreamer (talk) 10:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why do we even list terminated destinations? They just make the table harder to read, especially if you want to see only where they serve now. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 17:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed, and unlike the Dragonair article mentioned above, more than half of the "destinations" are terminated. Thankyoubaby (talk) 19:10, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Everyone's comment is welcome, but let me tell you that neither of the users opposing to the inclusion of terminated destinations have significantly contributed to the creation or maintenance of the article. Listing terminated destinations is not forbiddden, as per WP:AIRLINES. Furthermore, they engrose the history of any airline, as the “History” sub-section included in any airline article (if it is present at all) does not provide a complete list of all destinations served by the company throughout its history. Unsurprisingly, because the purpose of an airline destinations article is just that. You may also want to read an ongoing discussion regarding airline destinations.--Jetstreamer (talk) 02:17, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

text: I absolutely agree that the terminated destinations should be listed. I just believe that they should be listed separately. If we are listing them all together, why not list BA's current and retired fleet in one table? Thankyoubaby (talk) 05:33, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: British Airways will begin flying to Incheon International Airport from December 2, 2012 but there has been a dispute whether or not is this service a resumption or new service. 2 news articles are calling it a resumption but the airline's official press release calls it a new route. I know that the airline served Seoul in the past but they flew to Gimpo International Airport and ended service a little before Incheon became operational. 123.117.36.87 (talk) 06:50, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: BA withdrew its services to/from Seoul in 1998, three years before the opening of Incheon Airport. There's no such a dispute therefore: GMP is a terminated destination, and ICN is a future route. Services to ICN are starting, not resuming.--Jetstreamer Talk 13:43, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
