British Airways flight cuts see scrabble for tickets as prices 'go crazy'

British Airways tickets are being sold for 'crazy numbers' after the company announced a massive reduction in its scheduling, according to an aviation expert.

On Monday BA said it would be cutting roughly 10,000 short-haul flights to and from Heathrow Airport between late October and March, as well as around a dozen round-trips per day - totalling 629 flights - until the end of October.

The flag carrier claimed it was doing so to hit Heathrow's self-enforced 100,000 a day passenger cap, and would be "protecting key holiday destinations over half-term".
