re Brussels... I make it 11 flights. And a AR8 isn't exactly the
biggest plane in the world.

I think I demand a re-count for the other destinations! (Are you
perhaps being fooled by codeshares - but that only brings LHR-BRU up
to 22 "flights"??)

The figures are from a HACAN report of 2006. I think you're right in
suspecting that they include codeshares - no doubt to bolster their
case

They are so wrong that all they do is invalidate the argument of anyone
relying upon them.

However, in general terms, BAA themselves state that the most popular
destinations from Heathrow are Paris, Dublin and New York. (Rather like
deciding the longest bus route in London, a lot of this seems to depend
on how terms are defined, of course).

Those are pretty obvious candidates, being the Capitals (or major trade
centres) of the three "closest" partners.
