Any news on BACF extending weekend leisure flights to other UK regional airports?

[LAX_LHR]

Schedules for the MAN flights have been released and hopefully announced officially soon.

No details of any other airports at this time.

They operate such flights from Scottish airports,but they are exclusively charter PAX. In S15 they tried overnight rotations from EDI to Ibiza, but they didn't return last year. I think there will be fewer from EDI in S17, I know of one for Barrhead Travel and one for TOM. I guess the extra Jet2 flights will provide the capacity.

Cityflyer will continue the Scottish charters like previous years. The MAN flights will be a full BA operation the same as STN and not charters.

[BHX5DME]

MAN, STN & Scottish only

[VickersVicount]

interesting that the BACF charters have been using the buy on board model for years!

The IBZ flights was BA Mainline on the Airbus, not Cityflyer.

BACF charters operate an onboard service based on what whoever the flight is operated for offers, if the company chartering the flights wanted a 3 course meal that's what would be provided

Is there a timetable for CityFlyer flights that show the aircraft type due to operate?

I am looking at the LCY-FLR flights and whether they are E170s or E190s....

BA website will tell you. I think it's mostly the E190.

Thanks LC!

I believe BACF do weekend flights from GLA to ALC, AGP, FAO, MAH, PMI, BCN, NCE, Genoa and starting this summer a new route to Reus.

Flights are on behalf of a number of tour operators including Thomas Cook, Thomson and Barrhead Travel (a wee Scotch travel agent).

With the STN Palma rescheduled to a earlier time with a e170, will we be seeing some new routes from STN?

Good to see - hopefully the start of something bigger

[LAX_LHR]

The second STN aircraft gets rotated through to Manchester in a long winded way of getting the aircraft back to LCY.

Aircraft flies STN-IBZ-MAN-LCY, which means MAN also has an anomaly of having 3 outbound but 4 inbound IBZ, but also 1 inbound but 2 outbound LCY also.

The other anomaly is that the aircraft has 25 hours on the ground at MAN (possibly a back up) it arrives from IBZ at 1230 sat, departs 1320 Sunday to LCY.

[Jet Set Willie]

Or there is more flying to be announced!!!

[TOM100]

LCY isnt open on a Sunday morning but maybe it's crew efficient too ?

[pamann]

What's the deal with BA Cityflyer's on-board service? BA's website states "Drinks and M&S food available to buy on flights to/from London Heathrow and London Gatwick". So what does this mean to their services ex LCY/STN and MAN?

[V_2]

The serivce from LCY and STN continues to be complimentary until an unspecified date in "the summer". Summer could mean start of summer schedule (End of March) or perhaps actual summer around June/July. Make the most of it whilst you still can
