I'm surprised transatlantic service operates out of LCY (A318)
The New York flights make a fuel stop at Shannon Airport due to weight
restrictions on departure. The stop is also used for US Customs and Border
Protection pre-clearance, meaning that passengers arriving in New York do
not need to go through immigration there.
"The A318 has a passenger capacity of 107 in a two-class configuration,
however, British Airways operates the aircraft with just 32 seats across the
Atlantic."

That's why I was surprised. With 32 pax, they'd have to charge an arm and a
leg to make it profitable:

At least you'd get lots of leg room:
