How BA488 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for BA488 across the LHR and BCN boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~190 min) but landed heavily delayed (~165 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how BA488 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
