With new TUI flights to below places confirmed for 2019, does that mean the Luton base is going back three aircraft next year?

Antalya
Enfidha
Funchal
Herakilion
Herghada
Thessaloniki

Any clues from any TUI insiders is this will be an all 737 base or could they sneak in a 757?

-------------------------------------------------

Still surprised after the demise of Monarch 6-7 months ago, none of the other LCC have jumped on and started filling the capacity Monarch left behind on a few of the bread and butter routes.

For example Alicante, Malaga and the Canaries... While easyJet fly the routes, they don't seem to have increased capacity compared to last year.

Ryanair have bases at Alicante and Malaga, so could start routes with equipment from these cities.

The Canaries has always been a weak route network from Luton, while you can get to all four of the main islands with Ryanair, they only serve them all twice weekly and easyJet to Tenerife and Lanzarote thrice weekly. Surely this must be an opportunity to increase to at least daily. Many other UK airport boast daily or several times daily flights to the islands.
