For a number of years now NCL has has six flights per day, Mon to Fri both in summer and winter. With up to 6 flights on winter Saturdays, 4 on summer Saturdays and 5 on both winter and summer Sundays.

In fact on some days within the last year or two there has been 7 flights per day. ( probably the extra one being a slot sitter)

The reduction to five per day this coming winter is highly unusual as for many many years its always been six.

Yes there are some reductions to 3 or 4 on some days during the next few weeks, although some of the days where the schedule was reduced to 3 appear to have been changed to 4 in the last few hours. Probably as the availability of seats on alternative flights for those on connections already booked could not be met with just three flights if that makes sense ??

The schedule is very erratic over the next few weeks some days 6 some 5 and some 4. It should be noted that these changes appear to have been made quite recently and numerous people will have had there plans disrupted.

Not good for the busiest route out of NCL

Aircraft shortage ??
